🔴 NEW 🔴 The BBC has been producing adverts(!) for major polluters, including fossil fuel firms and petrostates with a history of persecuting journalists. As an ex-BBC journalist, I was pretty staggered when I discovered this. 📝 DeSmog report 👇 desmog.com/2024/08/22/bbc…

This is depressing: BBC's commercial arm making ads for fossil fuel companies, as revealed by DeSmog desmog.com/2024/08/22/bbc…

An important principle is that if you can’t trust an MP on climate it tells you that you also can’t trust them on anything at all that you might care about. If an MP denies the climate emergency they are either too dishonest or not smart enough to be in politics.

Oh.

🔴 NEW 🔴 One of Nigel Farage's new MPs has been campaigning against net zero for years – spreading myths about a climate change "cult". Awkwardly, though, he owns a green tech company that benefits from the same eco subsidies that Reform wants to scrap desmog.com/2024/08/27/ref…

A thorough explanation of the importance of heat pumps to meeting Net Zero targets by Alto Energy Limited - the company set up by...er, climate sceptic Rupert Lowe MP of Reform UK. altoenergy.co.uk/blog/heat-pump… Excellent story by DeSmog / Sam Bright here - desmog.com/2024/08/27/ref…

📝 New one from Adam Barnett & DeSmog 👇 Turns out that Tory “moderate” Tom Tugendhat really has no idea what he’s talking about on climate change and net zero... Oh and he’s accepted ££££ from fossil fuel investors and climate denial funders... desmog.com/2024/08/29/tom…

Personally can’t wait to perform a citizen’s arrest on Nigel Farage the second he lights up outside a pub. Will be watching him like a hawk

The Daily Mail is foaming at the mouth about Starmer moving a portrait - so the Today Programme just read out the headline & ran a whole feature on it. Can we please stop letting these papers set the news agenda? Let them howl into the void if they must, but don't run after them

Bit weird for a newspaper proprietor to join his editor in a meeting with the chancellor. That's what happened on 11 Jan, when Jeremy Hunt met with the editor of the Daily Mail to discuss the state of the economy... alongside Daily Mail owner Lord Rothermere. cc Tim Walker

Regardless of Labour’s faults in this regard, it is hilarious and deeply ironic that the Tories feel they can get on a high horse about “cronyism” when they literally handed billions in Covid contracts to their mates & donors

Heat pumps are good. In fact they’re so good that one of Richard Tice’s fellow Reform MPs literally owns a heat pump business desmog.com/2024/08/27/ref…
