‘So much more could have been achieved’: Jeremy Corbyn at Cop26
The Star’s Niall Christie speaks to the former Labour leader about the failures of the Tory government to act on climate change and why he will be spending the week in Glasgow with strikers, unions and community representatives talking about the people power we need instead

HOW different the past week or so could have been. Two years ago, with Cop26 announced for Glasgow and a general election under way, British voters were offered the greenest and most comprehensive manifesto ever.

A “Green Industrial Revolution,” it was styled, which would have guaranteed workers a future and society a planet to live on.

Sadly, the other guys won. Almost two years after the 2019 election and no longer Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn — one of the architects of this transformative plan for Britain and beyond — travels to Cop26 in Glasgow, no less determined to see climate justice prevail.
