A “BOLD, radical, socialist alternative” to climate chaos was embraced by Labour today after conference voted to back a Green New Deal.

Delegates at the party’s annual conference in Brighton passed a motion to decarbonise Britain by 2030 in order to tackle the climate crisis and reverse potential environmental catastrophe.

The topic was initially met with controversy, as the GMB union expressed concerns that the year 2030 was too early, saying there was “no credible plan for achieving zero carbon by that date,” and may lead to the loss of jobs.
