I don’t think so. Polling shows that green policies have majority support, so the Prime Miniature is, once again, championing something that most people want to keep. He really is terrible at politics.

Agree that green policies have majority support, but Sunak is going hard into anti-green policies anyway.
Starmer can either be brave, and stand by his green policy pledges, or he can follow the Tories so he's not exposed at the next election. Unfortunately, I think we can already see the way he's going with his 'review of ULEZ expansion' comment.
And thanks to FPTP, if both main parties are locked in an anti-green doom spiral, what choice do we as the majority of voters have?

Yep, the problem is that whether or not it's a good strategy (and unfortunately, I think it is), Starmer and team are going to get spooked and start rowing back on their green policies. So going into the election next year, both main parties will be trying to outdo each other on anti-green policies. Nightmare scenario.
