Thursday, 5pm, Terrace Bar: Lefty Lattes: How can Labour be the ‘Greenest Government Ever’?
This week’s Lefty Lattes tackles an important but often overlooked area: environmental issues. Climate change is perhaps the big issue of our time, but it seems little is being done to combat it. What measures should we be taking? And what can we achieve in the face of inertia and special interests?
David Cameron claimed that his government would be the ‘greenest ever’ and while the coalition came to power with promises such as this, they are now embracing fracking for shale gas and pledging to get rid of ‘green crap’ from energy bills. So what should Labour’s response be? How can we reduce emissions whilst maintaining our way of life? And how do we regain the green agenda from the likes of the Green Party?
There’s a lot to discuss so come along and join in! And make sure to use public transport on the way…

All the best,
The Warwick Labour exec.
