James McAsh, who is Green leader of Southwark Borough Council, has bragged this morning about flying to China for a conference about inclusive cities. He said:
“It was a great honour to be invited to the UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme) World Cities Day conference in Fuzhou, China.
Cllr Eloise Waldon-Day and I spoke about the work we are doing in Southwark Council on flood protection, sustainable construction and sustainable financing. I was also delighted to speak about our Streets for People approach to promoting sustainable and active travel.
We have lots to learn from cities across the globe and it was a privilege to share some of our learning with international colleagues. Huge thanks to C40 Cities for organising and funding our visit. (No taxpayer money spent!)”
The C40 Cities group is the same woke climate organisation that Khan likes to fly around for. Guido estimates that the two Green councillors’ 40,000 kilometre round trip would have released a whopping six tonnes of CO2e – that is roughly what an average Brit emits in a year. Someone call Greta…
The Greens have adopted numerous anti-flight policies, including a Frequent Flyer Levy, a ban on short domestic flights, a ban on airport expansion, a private jet ban, and additional aviation taxes. Sky high hypocrisy…
Lucy Powell told Sky News that the Ed Miliband-Russell Brand interview happened in part because the ‘social media age’ had not begun by 2015:
“Look, I mean, he approached the Labour Party, he approached the campaign team, and we’re in very different times now. We weren’t in the social media age at the time – where you could maybe search things up and see allegations about somebody at the time. and as I say, if there was any suggestion at all, we were dealing with someone who was a known sexual predator at the time, then, of course, you know, no one would have done that. But as I say, he was a well known public figure. Lots of people from Hollywood to the BBC to many others gave this person a very, very powerful platform. And we didn’t know at the time, unfortunately. It was a different era.”
