Sir Keir Starmer

• CONGRATULATIONS to Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, for winning his case in the High Court and for standing firm on the implementation of the ULEZ, ultra low emission zone, despite being under continued pressure from his party to ditch it.

And shame on all those Labour members, including Sir Keir Starmer and his hopeful candidate for Uxbridge Danny Beales, who tried to sabotage the mayor’s fight to clean up London’s highly polluted air on our behalf.

Labour’s strategy on this was both appalling and disastrous, to say the least, and the fault must land firmly at the door of their current campaign chief Morgan McSweeney.

Will there be anything left of Labour’s “green” policies that we could confidently believe in, come general election time?

They have already declared that they intend to row back on the £28billion investment to kick-start their previously and much trumpeted green economic policy.

What will happen should they meet opposition to their policy of installing “onshore wind turbines”, are they going to cave in on that too?

As we start getting nearer to the general election day, it is proving much harder to distinguish between the green policies of both major parties.

Labour must surely realise that it has to try harder if it is to win the votes of the millions of us who care strongly about this issue.
