Keir Starmer still hasn’t said if he’s attending #COP30.
The #climatecrisis is the major issue of our time, we’re facing societal breakdown if we don’t bring down carbon emissions.
We need a leader who’s committed to addressing this, not someone who dithers.

Government urgently needs to make a plan to harness those skills for the green energy transition
