Thousands of ‘red wall’ jobs at risk without green investment, TUC warns PM
Up to 660,000 jobs – many in the UK's industrial heartlands – are at risk unless Boris Johnson speeds up green investment and moving to "net zero" carbon dioxide emissions, according to a major study.
Many of the areas where jobs are most under threat include the "red wall" constituencies won by the Conservatives from Labour at the last election, and the unemployment threat will worry Tory MPs from these areas.
The warning comes in analysis by the TUC as it begins a three-day conference and just weeks before the Prime Minister welcomes world leaders including President Biden to the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow.
