Well, I'm very pleased that #MorganMcSweeney has finally gone. His position, from where he seemed to poison the well of politics, was result of a fluke in any case - people often wrongly assume apparent success is the result of skill rather than external factors. He was, as I understand it, largely responsible for Labour dropping anything approaching adequate #climate policies (the £28bn/year).

So will (Baroness) Sue Gray be back instead? Someone with a few more principles, I'd hope.

@Cedric Knight 🌍💙 Nothing less than "no longer here, Keir" would suffice.

@cedric@greennet.social "Areeba Hamid, the co-executive director of Greenpeace UK, said Starmer had “caved like a house of cards in the wind”." Who'd want to be the leader - but buck stops with them. Ghastly reprisal of Cameron 'dropping the green crap'; who can measure impact of the #insulatebritain response?
