LABOUR members fighting for climate justice are in a weaker position two years on from a landmark vote on radical action, MP Zarah Sultana said today.
In 2019, party members passed a radical climate motion at their annual conference, committing to reaching net-zero by 2030 and creating one million green jobs.
“Despite the best efforts of [shadow business secretary] Ed Miliband, the Labour leadership has no interest in the Green New Deal … beyond using it as a vacuous slogan,” Ms Sultana said.
