Donor Dale Vince is abandoning Just Stop Oil and is instead intending to fund a campaign encouraging young people to vote and to vote Labour. He claims

The dividing lines have been drawn: Labour is green, the Tories are not. A vote for anyone other than Labour, or no vote at all, is a vote for another Tory government – this time with a mandate to pursue its anti-green crusade. Preventing that from happening is the only way to “just stop oil”.

I fundamentally disagree with him. I see no evidence that the Labour Party under Keith Starmer is in any way ‘green’. The Red Tories have made huge efforts to be indistinguishable from their Blue brothers and their intention to continue with Rosebank shows that they are in no way green and totally willing to analing Murdoch and the fossil fuel industry in exactly the same way.

9.40pm: A vote for Labour is a vote for the wolves dressed as sheep covert Conservatives and most definitely not a ‘green’ vote. It is so important to use votes to register support for climate action but that is certainly not done by voting Labour. I suggest that Dale Vince is blind to Labour’s obvious and glaring flaws.
