Whilst I do agree with this take, I also find it a little laughable that we're putting pressure on the opposition to keep a pledge whilst the sitting government seems to be allowed to ditch green policy without much backlash.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The public will be put at risk if Keir Starmer drops his plan to spend £28bn a year on green investment, according to the head of the Fire Brigades Union, who warned his members were already experiencing the effects of the climate crisis.

Matt Wrack, the FBU’s general secretary, urged the Labour leader not to scale back or delay the party’s green scheme, which he said was essential for combatting a steep increase in floods, wildfires and storms.

Wrack called on Starmer to include mitigation measures such as flood defences in the plan as well as more long-term investment aimed at cutting carbon emissions.

Firefighters have been dealing with rapidly rising numbers of floods and wildfires in recent years, which scientists say is a direct result of climate breakdown.

Starmer has said in recent weeks that he remains committed to the policy of spending £28bn on environmental investments by the second half of the parliament, though the figure will be limited by how much Labour can borrow while still sticking to its strict fiscal rules.

The Conservatives are preparing to feature the Labour pledge heavily in their campaign material, arguing it can only be funded by higher borrowing or more tax rises.

The original article contains 556 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

It's just another example of Keir Starmer flip-flopping and proving he will only continue the Tory managed decline.

There's nothing new or special about Labour. I'm not voting for them. I'll vote Lib Dem or green depending on their policies closer to the time.
