Has Keir Starmer scored an own goal with Labour’s £28bn green spending chaos?

The Independent  

On the same day thousands of Port Talbot steelworkers were told they would be losing their jobs, with the plant’s two blast furnaces closing down, Labour’s £28bn Green Prosperity Plan hit the headlines again. And, if the polls narrow and Sir Keir falls short of a 1997-style landslide, as New Labour architect Peter Mandelson has said is likely, he will need the votes of left-wing backbenchers, already upset at the party’s stance on Gaza, to pass key bills. Labour’s hopes of avoiding Tory attacks over the policy When the party suggested it was moving away from the £28bn figure, chief secretary to the Treasury Laura Trott said the Labour Party is “all over the place”. Asked about the policy on Sky News’s Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips programme, shadow digital minister Sir Chris Bryant said it remains Labour’s “ambitious commitment” to spend £28bn on the plan.
