Yes, the UK government SHOULD abandon its Carbon Capture and Storage scheme, which
a. would cause a net *increase* in emissions
b. is unlikely to work
c. uses tens of billions that'd be much better spent on genuinely green projects.

Answer it isn’t, Labour is no longer Labour it has forgotten its roots and members to please the few. But this is just a sign of how broken our first past the post system is and our allowing of poor media and reporting
As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories?
Reeves tweaks non-dom tax law because of “concerns” but ignores the cries of disabled, old, sick, poor. Poor are expendable. Wealthy potential donors less so.
Govt must change direction.
