This Guardian asked me for my views on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. This is what I said:

“I don’t think people have made the connection about Brexit. What we, the Labour government, are doing with Brexit is using it in such a poor way”

“We’ve already seen it with water standards, pesticide standards over the last eight years, but this just turbocharges it all. There’s a sense we are able to get away with it because it’s not what people expect us to do.”

“There is immediate outrage from the public when the Tories do it. People are confused when Labour does it. I don’t understand how anyone who is environmentally minded can vote for this bill.”
