Is Labour’s green agenda under threat?

Anoosh Chakelian reports on the Port Talbot steelworkers job losses.

Anoosh Chakelian visited the Tata Steel plant to meet the workers who will lose their jobs, and joins Freddie Hayward to report what she found. They discuss the impact of the green transition on industrial communities, and whether Labour’s planned investment is enough to deliver on environmental goals while protecting the economy.
