Keir Starmer's policy dithering on green investment, tuition fees, nationalisation and Brexit (including free movement) have led some to wonder whether he's just like all those other politicians who “can’t be trusted to keep promises“, writes paulwaugh
This is despite his own shadow Energy Secretary Ed Miliband warning only a few weeks ago that extracting fossil fuels from Rosebank “would drive a coach and horses through our climate commitments”.
Yet Starmer made plain on Monday that his pledge to refuse new North Sea licences only applied once he was in Government. If Sunak gave the go ahead for Rosebank , he would not reverse it. “It’s very important for investors who are going to invest in the UK to know there is continuity,” he said. Some Starmer allies want more publicity for the U-turns as they make the party’s policies and messaging more “bomb-proof” in an election campaign.
