For some people, anyway.
The thirtieth Conservative U-turn since Jeremy Corbyn became Labour Leader.
The abandonment of the Budget's flagship policy.

ReplyDeleteThey'll see in time, at least if it is presented to them properly, that Greenery does not meet their objectives. The new force on the Dutch Left has probably yet to be constituted.
DeleteCan any party with the word "Green" in their name ever be trusted to perform the function that the mainstream left in Europe used to perform?

Working for better wages, better working conditions, better quality jobs and more job security for working people are generally not among their priorities.
