Sir Keir sought to play down the U-turn on Thursday, telling reporters “everything on the table is staying on the table” when it comes to the Green Prosperity Plan. I want to have a row about the outcomes,” Sir Keir said. Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves had repeatedly declined to recommit to the spending pledge, instead highlighting the need for “iron discipline” with the public finances. Sir Keir insisted that he, Ms Reeves and shadow climate secretary Ed Miliband were all united behind the decision. Greenpeace UK’s co-executive director, Areeba Hamid, accused Sir Keir of having “caved like a house of cards in the wind”.
