Oooops, Labour's early test on the green transition hasn't gone well... the Govt. (in the persons of Angela Rayner & Louise Haigh) have approved a major expansion of activity at London City Airport...
And as we know many of these journeys (being internal flights) could easily have been by (less polluting) train.
So rather than helping rail capture more UK business trips (for a greener journey), Labour has facilitated the expansion of an anti-green alternative.
