Labour has treated the environment as an afterthought – that needs to change | Angela Eagle

We now need to take on environmental issues even more urgently in response to the Tories' ideological assault on green policies

Labour didn't do enough to communicate our policies on the environment in the last Parliament. We failed to capitalise on commitments we had made to protect nature and decarbonise the UK economy. We needlessly gave the Green Party and even the Liberal Democrats a free run at showing that they understood the importance of the environment.

I know the environment matters to so many people in the UK.
