Labour’s invented another cushy gig for the climate crew – introducing the new “Special Representative for Nature”. Ruth Davis has landed the role, supposedly to “raise global ambition on nature recovery.” She’ll be reporting to Environment Secretary Steve Reed, and passionate climate crusader David Lammy. Only last month Lammy claimed climate change is a bigger threat than Putin and Hamas…
Davis is no stranger to saving the planet from impending doom. The official government website conveniently neglects to mention the fact she was Political Director at Greenpeace from 2009 to 2015, during which time the group led some rather interesting campaigns. Their righteous battles targeted toy brand Lego for partnering with Shell, energy supplier Gazprom, Volkswagen for its emissions, and even Barbie for buying off Asia Paper and Pulp. Davis also bizarrely wrote in 2016 that those who voted Brexit didn’t realise they voted to “erode the beauty and richness of their countryside”. Now she’s been handed a megaphone to preach her climate gospel. More taxpayer cash splurged on the green agenda…
Speaking to Adam Boulton on Times Radio about kicking the Golders Green suspect, Heidi Alexander said:
“I thought that if I was in the shoes of that police officer, then if I’m honest, given the situation, and the fact that he had a backpack on his back, and they were worried about whether that might go off, I could, if I was a police officer, frankly, I could see myself having taken similar action.”
