THREAD: @BorisJohnson your 10-point climate plan is far from the ambitious green recovery we need to protect people and the planet.

Here's a breakdown of why the 10 points aren’t enough, and what we could achieve instead 👇 @BorisJohnson 1. The Tories want to power every home with offshore wind.

But in 2019, Labour pledged to invest £83bn in offshore wind to create 70,000 new jobs and spearhead a just transition for workers in fossil fuels.

We need more of that ambition from Labour 🌬️

We're asking the Labour leadership candidates five questions to test their commitment to a transformative #GreenNewDeal. They are:

1. Just Transition 👨‍🏭✊

What does ‘just transition’ mean to you and how will you plan for a rapid energy transition that works for all?

(1/1) 2. Good, Green, Unionised Jobs 🔨🏘️

How will you build on Labour’s commitment to a Green Industrial Revolution creating a million new green jobs in green industries?
