    One bi-election where they won on a local issue by about 500 votes, and they think they’ll get a polling boost by ditching climate policies.

    Bold strategy, let’s see how that plays out.

      They would have lost ULIZ if Labour had bothered to actually correct the record. But they just decided to throw Sadiq Khan under a bus because they were scared of coming out in support of him. They were worried they’d lose the brainless shit head vote.

      What everyone needs to do now is yell very loudly at the Tories for having no green policys, and then hopefully Labour will pick up on that and decide that this pussy footing around the problem approach isn’t actually a good idea.

      Polling is currently a Labour landslide, so they need bold policies to stay relevant and this is a topic Labour might actually use some points in.

        It’s a massive gamble. Polling over the past few years has been constantly calling for action on climate change. They’re clearly hoping that there’s been a shift on this.

          They have a year, Rupert Murdoch and fossil fuel money to create that change. Still a hard sell considering the situation.
