  • John McDonnell’s comment on the The 3rd runway at Heathrow which is coming up for judgement at the court of appeal:

    "I think legislatively things have moved and politically, with the current campaigning by Extinction Rebellion, the pressure is on all politicians to recognise this is a project that cannot stand,” McDonnell said.

    Looks like XR's tactics are at the very least contributing to actual concrete change. Helped by loads of other organisations of course. That's a positive at least?

  • That's a positive at least?

    If it actually has, absolutely. It doesn't automatically validate every single action done under the XR flag, but yes, that is a positive indeed.

    A cynic would say that it looks like McDonnell knows what plays well with his base!

    The Labour Party has not been the political impediment to change for quite some time (remember ‘cut the green crap’?)

  • Ahhh, someone in here thinking clearly!
