The only thing which is surprising about Labour’s embrace of a more muscular environmentalism is that it’s taken so long to come about. Compared to the activities of @AOC, Green New Deal etc they’ve been relatively muted.
For example, I’d be surprised if you can name the party’s environment spokesperson. Which given how central environmentalism has become to new left politics across the world, seems rather odd.
Still, with locals and European elections looming and a frustrated base chafing at the party’s Brexit policy, this isn’t bad politics.
