It’s been a long time coming, but at last it seems that voters who give a damn about the climate emergency will have a real choice at the next general election. While the Tories have fiddled, Labour has been putting together a pretty impressive pro-climate portfolio.

And Labour’s goody bag of climate measures contains plenty more that environmentally informed voters can cheer.
