Surprise surprise - another policy u-turn

Labour unlikely to meet its £28bn green pledge at all​

It is unlikely a Labour government will be able to meet its ambition to spend £28bn a year on green initiatives, a source close to Sir Keir Starmer has told the BBC.
Labour announced the flagship policy at its annual conference in 2021. But in June shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves watered the pledge down, saying the figure would not be reached until 2027. Now, it is understood the figure will probably not be reached at all.

The Labour manifesto will be a sheet of blank paper so if elected they won't be accused of breaking pledges

The Labour manifesto will be a sheet of blank paper so if elected they won't be accused of breaking pledges

And then when in office they will only commit to deliver half of the blank sheet

It won't be completely blank, there'll be a printed on it.

Funnily enough, when I read this story yesterday I was thinking of asking for alternative suggestions, and you may have won the competition before it even started.

he says it reminds him of the Berlin Wall coming down. So we could have had scorpions 'Wind of Change' instead, which has a decent whistle bit

Amusingly....

Ode to Feeling a Bit Disappointed might be more apt.

If only Labour had an official anthem he could have chosen that instead

They already went to court under Gordon Brown to argue manifesto commitments arent binding (which they won)

EU anthem isn't it? <e2a: ah, as discussed abundantly in article>

I honestly struggle to think of a less imaginative choice. Fan of the 9th, talented guy Beethoven, but come on.

Yeah it’s the focus grouped “this is the bit of classical music most people know, so choose that” option

"Good people put off politics"

Reeves is on record as saying that Palestinians weren't living under occupation after Israel left the Gaza strip. No more trustworthy than Starmer.

And she is an economically illiterate plagiarist

Number 1 choice on desert Island discs (as of 2011).
