While I appreciate that any spending plans by labour will result in Tory attacks of "tax rises, spending all your money" FML they really could find ways to present investment opportunities like the green deal as tax cuts to companies to encourage investment rather than actual government spending (yes 28B is a nothing amount in the general scheme)
It is really disappointing. I do get that Labour are being careful. But we're now at that point where people are crying out for a change. If we're not prepared to give it to them then it opens up all kinds of other weird electoral situations.
The time for timidity is past. The brand is detoxified. It is time to start putting some meat on the bones, and we're in the shit - the meat needs to be hefty.
The green new deal is an industrial strategy. If we can't sell that to the British people, we won't deserve a second term.

Going more and more off labour right now.
I'm in a Tory stronghold so my vote is unlikely to matter but I will tactically vote in hope for a change of government. Even if I'm personally leaning green right now.
