Red-green fanatic Sir Keir Starmer was photographed (next to Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper) last week at an airport near The Hague, where they were visiting the Europol police HQ so he could make a very odd speech.
Others may worry about the speech, or Sir Keir's strange attire. But I am fascinated to know why the Great Green European flew to the Dutch city, when he claims to be so keen on cutting emissions.

I am fond of The Hague, its superb art gallery, its efficient trams and its enjoyable sandy beaches, and I could have told him that it is very easily reached by train. The Eurostar from London hurry direct to nearby Rotterdam.
From there, clean electric trains run every few minutes to The Hague itself, while the city's airport is 15 miles out. The station is smack in the middle of the city. And Europol is 20 minutes from the station on a Number 17 tram.
I do sometimes wonder whether these Green zealots really mean what they say. Peter Hitchens.
