Not good enough

When asked which she preferred: bats or newts, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said she preferred neither, she wanted growth.

And that there is the problem with Labout in power: they are trying to deliver the policies that they think the Mail and Express want.

Growth, while outside the EU is almost impossible, therefore to suggest wrecking decades of environmental protection to deliver growth is the only answer, is plain wrong.

Rejoining the SM and/or CU would deliver almost double digit growth without having to gut environmental protections.

I can't seriously support such a Government, even a Labour one, that is so willing to scrap local planning laws. These might not be perfect, and NIMBYism at times, but its the best we have.

Building on the green belt, destroying meadows, woods, fields and parks will result in things, climate change, only getting worse.

And a mere five years ago, Labour voted against Heathrow expansion, now Reeves is all for it, all in the name of growth.

Neverending growth is impossible, Enron taught us that, but it seems Labour did not get the memo.

And there's no point in supporting the Greens who opposed the greatst green transport project, HS2, while supporting public transport, apparently.

I comment on football so much as its easier to deal with than politics and real life.

So endeth the lesson.
