Yet another manifesto commitment watered down by Labour. The climate crisis worsens every year, but the government continues to retreat. Instead of action we see climbdowns, u-turns and backtracking. All while the world's biggest polluters celebrate and rake in the profit.

What is truly pathetic about Labour is that this is all they have got. They have failed so spectacularly already, despite a whacking great majority, to even attempt to govern positively that all they have is punching down on marginalised groups and saying "oh but Reform will be worse".

They may dispute the specific number. But with 4000 people on the waiting list and fewer than 50 first appointments a year, it hardly matters if we project 80 years, 224, or anything in between. Unless there is dramatic change, people are just not getting the service they need. It's unacceptable.

In the rest of the UK council tax debt is written off after 6 years. In Scotland it's 20 years or longer. Fear of bailiffs means people don't go to councils for the help they need, locking them in a cycle of poverty. Today the Scottish Parliament can vote for our amendment to change that.
