This opinion article argues that Labour should support green policies for moral reasons, but the author also argues that Farage’s anti-green message is not what the public want. Apparently “68% of Farage’s constituents in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, declared themselves ‘somewhat’ or ‘very’ worried” about climate change.

The article links to this Bluesky thread from a pollster which is interesting:

    I guess with Labour doing a decent reduction of mass immigration, Reform needs to be ready to spin up a second populist warfront.

    Farage will have no trouble getting funding for his anti-environment nonsense, but the UK public will be harder to convince than they were for reducing immigration.
