CLIMATE campaigners voiced disappointment at the prospect of another U-turn from Labour on its green policies yesterday. 

Party leader Sir Keir Starmer is reportedly considering rowing back on a pledge to invest billions of pounds in green jobs and industry amid fears that the Tories will use the policy to attack Labour in next year’s general election.

A Labour insider told the Guardian that they expect there will be a “pivot” in the new year on the party’s green pledges and that the promise to eventually invest £28 billion a year is unlikely to survive.
