Yes Labour's 28 Billion Pounds
for green ventures has sunk away.

They went on about how they can
transform the UK,
But no such money can be found now.

BBC New Text:
[Labour is planning to draw up a
"bombproof" manifesto ahead of the
next general election,
according to The Observer.
It adds the party is favouring "caution" when
it comes to policy, in order to try and
"avoid Tory attacks".]

Hmmmmmm, bombproof, they need to make it Starmer proof.

Starmer was going to scrap the House of Lords

Massive U-Turn on that

Brought up today,
on TV interviews

[arista]

Starmer has given an interview to Times Radio.

Reporter Kate McCann
brought up his House of Lords
he now says he is not scrapping them
just reforming them.

An Edit of that Interview
not long enough.

On his £28Billion
pledge on green issues
is still on,
but subject to his fiscal rules?


She also said He said in Parliament
Sunak made a video with Farage.

Is Not True Kate stated


Which he never answered.

[bots]

in fairness, with economic conditions changing rapidly, with conflicts appearing across the globe, it impossible to plan economically with any certainty in the short to medium term. Blaming political parties for not providing certainty in these times is a joke

[arista]

The £28Billion
Green Projects
LBC has now been worked out
it will be a lot more than that amount.

Labour has stated it's a Ramp Up.


Andrew Marr Live Debate LBC 6PM - 7PM

Labour is ditching its policy of spending £28bn a year on its green investment plan in a major U-turn.

An official announcement will be made on Thursday.

Sources insist the party's Green Prosperity Plan, which includes creating a publicly-owned green power company, is not being dropped altogether.

But Labour will no longer commit to investing £28bn a year in green energy projects if it wins power.

Labour's position on the policy in recent weeks has been increasingly muddled, with some senior figures repeatedly refusing to use the £28bn figure when pressed in interviews, while others, including party leader Sir Keir Starmer, continued to do so.

Debated on Politics Live BBC2HD

A Labour MP
was backing the £28Billion plan
yesterday on their show.



Later Today
Starmer is going to give a speech to explain his new plan.

I am annoyed at Starmer.

However, the Cons now CANNOT use this 28billion figure against Labour now.
So it may prove a shrewd move.

It's all the Cons have gone about for ages now so since it's shelved/ dropped, they'll look rather petty and hypocritical to not welcome the move.

Frankly I still think Starmer should have stuck to it.
Although looking good at considering the financial situation, will be no bad thing too.

Honestly though what a choice for the election.
As a Labour party member even, it's getting to the point where the only argument I can make is, Labour needs to win but not because they deserve to win.
Only in that this despicable rotten from the core heartless Con government only deserves to lose and lose badly I really hope.

Come on, Joey.

Starmer is pretty much dead set to win, and if they're scrapping policies now because they're scared of what the meany weany ickle tories are going to say, what do you think they'll do when in power and the right wing rags call him a communist every time he says something that isn't about being cruel to people?

Just for revision, Corbyn offered a 10yr/250billion policy.

No one should vote for labour, because the same choice with 2 colours is still the same choice.

[arista]

He does seem to be going Live


He has Given Interviews
To BBC news, first and then others

[arista]

He is still doing the GB Energy Company

but that will cost Billions?

[Gusto Brunt]

Yeah he's scrapped it.

The more I see of Starmer, the more I see a man who doesn't believe in anything.

There isn't much going on in that brain of his.

Baffling how he ever became a barrister. I wouldn't put him on the till at Tesco.

All he does is state the obvious and what people want to hear...now as we are getting close to a GE he is back peddling bigtime.

[bots]

He made the 28Billion pledge 18 months ago, when everyone knew what state the economy was in. He was still insisting it would go ahead last week. It's difficult to see how that is the tories fault

[arista]

Starmer did one Interview for BBC
that is now on all TV news


He did not bother with a Proper Conference - Coward

[bots]

the important thing is to not have the 28b a manifesto item at the next election. The tories have u turned on just as many items as labour, they even u turned on leader twice

I don't think labour have anything to worry about on that front

Why is that the important thing?
