An even bigger waste of more than £28BN - should be Starmer's defence line. 

Why can't we spend £28BN on greening the country when you are spending more on a failed transport scheme and filling potholes?

Reaching net zero without annoying the fossil fuel lobby is impossible isn't it?  I guess we might as well just give up now.

We really need to tell them to "do one", apply a serious and meaningful "windfall tax" on their obscene profits and get on with covering the country with wind turbines.

The problem with HS2 is how costs and delays escalated...which doesn't give me any confidence that we'll be able to reach any of these net zero goals.

...and also Tories have made a sh*t load from donations the last few months...so they can blitz us relentlessly with flip-flopping reckless spender friend of terrorists Starmer ads.

Cracks between Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are starting to show - New Statesman (archive.ph)

 

summed up nicely in the new statesman

''I know you are probably tiring of the constant speculation over whether Labour will ditch its policy to invest £28bn a year in the green economy. I assure you that this is the leader of the opposition’s fault and not the media’s.''

hes a f**king disgrace ... doubt it will take any difference though , either in the polls or his support in parliament 

[steviewevie]

it was a scripted joke...they like a good old transphobic joke in the tory party..hahaha...but the fact that he stuck to it when he knew Brianna Gheys' mum was there shows what an insensitive and out of touch little tory twat he is.
