    That claim by Labour probably has about 10 caveats that would further delay proper decarbonisation.

    It doesn’t. It’s all well and good being sceptical but not about information that is freely available!

    We do need to decarbonise everything, but the grid is the main thing. For example, there’s no point putting everyone in new electric vehicles if they’re powered by a carbon intensive grid, so it’s absolutely right to prioritise fixing that first.

    Labour is investing in public transport and cycling everywhere it’s in power, which is exactly what we want. You are right about the difficulties of the voter coalition, but the voter coalition that would back green policies even better than these already very good policies is too small for any party to win power with their backing alone. Labour is doing as much as it possibly can given those constraints.
