Labour risks ‘powder keg’ clash with environmentalists as it puts growth before going green (www.theguardian.com)

Labour is being warned it is hurtling towards a “powder keg” confrontation with environmentalists, green groups and a swathe of its own supporters in the next few weeks, amid its claims that “blockers” are standing in the way of economic growth.

A flurry of pro-growth measures have been announced by ministers in recent days as part of a government fightback against claims that the economy is stalling.

The drive culminated last week in chancellor Rachel Reeves’s assertion in Davos that economic growth is more important than net zero. She is now on the verge of effectively giving her backing to airport expansion at Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton.

They're clearly telling you, in no uncertain terms, that they don't give a fuck about society. Never have.

The idea that the government serves the people is a lie made up by those who control it and want you to continue to believe the lie while they rob you and the rest of us blind for their own personal gain.
