At the same time
Ditches green deal and gets £4,000,000 from lobbying firm with links to fossils fuels.
See how it works yet?

Sequence of events:
Labour take a £4m donation from Quadrature - hedge fund in the Cayman Islands - with links to oil & gas industry.
Having dropped their £28bn green pledge & home insulation programme in government they instead invest in green washing for oil & gas:

This is absolute madness. Carbon capture and storage has failed time and again. Labour has slashed reliable green programmes, to pour vast sums of our money into a complete crock. The only possible explanation is lobbying by fossil fuel companies.🧵 theguardian.com/environment/…

Google provided £10,000 of hospitality to senior Labour figures & the party ditched plans to raise the Digital Services Tax.
Quadrature, a Cayman Islands hedge-fund which invests in fossil fuels, donated £4m & its climate advisory board co-chair is now Climate Envoy.
It stinks.

❌ We NEVER want to see a sign like this ever again. ❌
The next government has the power to make that happen.
They can end the need for food banks.

I prosecute and defend the most serious criminal offences, and have witnessed first-hand how your wanton defunding and reckless mismanagement of the criminal justice system has brought it to the point of collapse.
That you would think to campaign on your record is astonishing.

So true. As a palliative care doctor I now find myself routinely having to have end-of-life conversations with elderly patients on trolleys in corridors. It’s unimaginably undignified & wrong,
And it didn’t used to be like this.
14 years of Tory policies have savaged the NHS.
