And while the Greens are doing what they do best (opposing green development), the Labour government has already lifted the Tory ban on onshore windfarms.

This is odd, because Labour are the same as the Tories, as we all know, and the Greens are a radical new force. But in this case, Labour are doing the direct opposite of the Tories, while the Greens are doing the same things the Tories did! Most curious.

EDIT: Here’s the official government statement confirming this.

EDIT 2: And this isn’t all! Rachel Reeves is also planning to do more to make onshore wind simpler to build.

      Yeah, thise were two things directly aimed at the misbehaviour of the outgoing government.

      Ah, those heady days, before shouting “nonsense!” at Jack Straw would gwt you arrested under the (woefully badly-written) Prevention of Terrorism Act. It’s almost as though power corrupts (and the office of the Home Sec in particular is enough to break the morals of anyone).
