The article criticizes the current Labour government, led by Keir Starmer, for adopting a harmful approach to environmental policies reminiscent of former Tory prime ministers. It highlights Starmer's dismissal of those advocating for climate priorities and his adherence to a growth-at-all-costs mentality. The author reflects on past statements by Starmer that opposed airport expansions for climate reasons, criticizing his current stance as starkly contradictory. The piece urges a reevaluation of prioritizing environmental commitments over unchecked economic growth, especially regarding major infrastructure projects that threaten climate goals.
Now Keir Starmer has picked up her theme and run with it. Those who challenge government policies that might promote GDP growth, however destructive and irrational, are time-wasting nimbys.
After all, these are the kind of people who might send congratulations to the climate campaigners whose legal challenge stopped plans to build a third Heathrow runway at the court of appeal.
