The right will always complain no matter what you do, so why bother listening to them and capitulating?

sensibly managing the economy and balancing the need to achieve reduced emissions with the need to maintain a functional economy is not capitulating, and indeed being seen to carefully maintain that balance might be key to election victory in four years time.

They aren't going to win anyway. I'd be shocked if Labour somehow wins.

Does the Labour base voter even like Labour at this point?

"If we try to make the world a better place, the conservatives will use that as a pretext to do what they're already doing"

There was an onion article about almost exactly that lol. https://theonion.com/protesters-urged-not-to-give-trump-administration-pretext-for-what-it-already-doing/

They're already saying our plan to tackle climate change is going to hurt the economy. But we know that doing nothing will hurt the economy worse. Being scared of them saying what they're already saying is weak and cowardly. Toughen up and do the right thing.
