It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Thank you. I think you’re right that Greens are now making Burnham’s life easier but there is a risk of wider discrediting of the whole ‘progressive bloc’ in a messy general election where tactical voting will be key. Tories will try to push a vote red, get green line.

Given how hard the ‘Right Way’ argues that incentives are key to good policy and how it claims also to respect facts of climate science it is notable how the energy policy section consists exclusively of *disincentives* to act on the facts of climate change.
