Rebecca Long Bailey, Labour’s Shadow Energy Secretary, responding to the Labour Party coming out on top in the Friends of the Earth’s climate and nature league table, said:

“Labour has the most ambitious programme to tackle the climate and environmental emergency of any political party, as confirmed by Friends of the Earth.

“What sets Labour apart is that our plans have been developed with some of the country’s leading environmental scientists, economists and practitioners. Our’s is a plan you can believe in. That’s the real change that Labour in government will bring to our country.”
