This opinion article argues that Labour should support green policies for moral reasons, but the author also argues that Farage’s anti-green message is not what the public want. Apparently “68% of Farage’s constituents in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, declared themselves ‘somewhat’ or ‘very’ worried” about climate change.

The article links to this Bluesky thread from a pollster which is interesting:

    We’re rapidly letting it slip through our hands because of these right wing idiots, but net zero could (have) potentially be(en) the UK’s new Industrial revolution. Except this time we lead the way in saving the planet instead of destroying it.

    Fusion power is the future. Excessive renewable power is the future. High tech energy storage is the future.

    Not because I want it to be, because that’s just how it’s going to be

    We can either be technological leaders in these areas, or we can be buying everyone else’s solutions instead of selling our own.
