Its sad that we'll never know what happened this morning in the parallel world and alternate reality where the Green Party defeated Labour in Holborn.
Would Labour still have announced they're going to open oil-fields in a world already warmed by 1.5 degrees?
As I say, sadly we'll never know.
We do know that opening the oil fields will contribute towards that warming, that it won't reduce energy costs for UK citizens, that it won't increase energy independence, and that it will create fewer jobs than a similar investment in renewable energy industry and that those jobs will be more dirty, dangerous, and bad for the employee's heath.
So why do it?
One can only assume The Labour Party donors must benefit in some way.

If Burnham were to walk the walk as well as he talks the talk tody then the country might be in for a less bad time than I'd imagined.
Pressure from the left appears to be working. People vote Green, Greens take London councils, threaten central London seats, make a Labour party wipe-out look inevitable as they lose votes left and right to Greens and Reform.
So a change of course, in the words at least. No longer promising nothing but unrelenting misery, no longer afraid to promise to actually do something.
And that seems to be exciting his members.
Here's hoping he can be forced to follow though and also pull it off.
Best way to force that is to continue the pressure from the left and Greens of course. A Green win in Holborn next month is the best hope for that. Coz he still isn't doing enough, on the environment and all those other things.
