The COP30 deal has fallen short.
Morally, economically, environmentally and scientifically. There are reports that a record number of fossil fuel lobbyists (1,600) attended this UN climate summit.
Banning vested interests from the COP process is long overdue.

“It isn’t ordinary people, simply trying to get by. It is the billionaires, the boardrooms and the broken system that allows the hoarding of extreme wealth at the expense of all else – including our planet. The difference between Greens and Labour is that we know this to be true and act on it.“
You can't solve a crisis with the same thinking that caused it
Billionaires and corporations are driving climate breakdown. It’s time to tax their wealth and build a fairer future.

Labour could choose to lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty immediately by fully scrapping the two-child benefit cap.
