Great blog Joss, succinctly summarising the arguments in favour of the green investment plan! Building on some of the voter opinion arguments and backing up Luke's work, I think that there's evidence of a more general desire from the electorate to see more investment across the board in the face of widespread problems and failing infrastructure - with green investment one of the most popular areas for this. https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/seven-in-ten-britons-think-country-not-doing-enough-to-meet-its-infrastructure-needs-prioritising-water

I get that Labour want to spike a Tory attack line - but I think in the face of public opinion, Tories arguing AGAINST investment at a time of failing infrastructure ultimately makes them look crass and uncaring and strengthens Labour's electoral offer.
