This is the year of climate elections and the #ukelection is no exception. Labour and The Conservatives are offering very different climate stances on climate change, and that’s not even considering smaller parties like The Greens, The Liberal Democrats, Reform UK, the SNP, and Plaid Cymru. In this video I look at the manifestos from seven of the largest parties and – along with examining their recent voting history – try to determine which party has (in my opinion, at least) the best offering for the planet.
