The Chancellor has a clear choice in his next Budget: appease his right-wing backbenchers with tax cuts or revive the economy, combat climate change & make the vital investment in the green economy that we desperately need and Labour's running scared of committing to

This Govt’s war on climate action goes marching on. When it’s not promoting drilling for more oil & gas, it’s ditching or delaying the vital green transition. Future generations will pay a terrible price for these climate crimes

If this is answer then Starmer is asking wrong question. It’s fiscally irresponsible NOT to invest in climate action - economic, social & env costs of breaching 1.5 limit are eye watering. This is exactly why more Green MPs are so vital in next Parliament

What is the point of Labour if they just rubber-stamp everything the Government does - even when it comes from failed chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng?
