Amid the Budget comms and market meltdown, it didn’t escape co-conspirators that eco-loon Chris Packham “reached a settlement with the government” over his legal challenge which claimed the previous (Tory) Government had acted unlawfully by delaying net zero policies. Acted sensibly, more like…
The new Government has decided to capitulate to Packham and has agreed to meet him to discuss “future progress addressing climate breakdown”. The truth is that it doesn’t matter what Reeves promises to spend or cut in the Budget, if Miliband has already promised the earth to Packham…
Packham was represented by class action specialists Leigh Day, the law firm with extensive links to the Labour Party and one of the chief purveyors of the class action tidal wave of which Guido has been warning in recent months. The think tank Adam Smith Institute released a report on lawfare last week noting that the enormous class action boom was starting to have real world impact on the UK’s economy and business. The combination of class action lawfare and net zero apocalypticism will do far more long-term damage than any confected budget ‘black hole’ tinkering. Don’t say you weren’t warned…
Eco-warriors cheered on the Just Stop Oil activists – or “Whole Five Truth” as they’ve lovingly dubbed them – sentenced yesterday. Despite their wails and chants of “we love you”, the eco-terrorists were still landed with record sentences. Unsurprisingly, morally righteous Labour MP Clive Lewis was one of those attending the solidarity protest. As was bird-sniffing presenter Chris Packham…
Packham hasn’t shied away from parroting his concern of climate change in the past, so standing with his brothers from Just Stop Oil isn’t a total shock. Though his concern for the climate only goes so far. Last week, Packham posted on X an article pushing to stop carbon capture tree planting near Peebles in the Scottish Borders. An opposition group (SRAG Ltd) have been granted permission to take Scottish Forestry, which is behind the climate-change friendly project, to court. For Packham, it seems in a toss up between saving the climate and making sure investors don’t get more money than deemed appropriate, the climate gets it…
Daily Sceptic editor Toby Young has just submitted a complaint to the BBC for failing to challenge or provide any correction for eco-activist and bird-sniffing presenter Chris Packham’s claim that the website is “put together by a bunch of professionals with close associations to the fossil fuel industry.” The ‘climate resistance’ are fans of wild funding allegations with no basis in fact…
Young points out, as he did after the Kuenssberg show was broadcast on Sunday, that neither he nor any of the people who put together the website have any affiliations of funding from the fossil fuel industry. He wasn’t challenged on the show and the clip was tweeted out subsequently with no clarification. One for Marianna Spring and the BBC Verify sleuths to look into no doubt…
Co-conspirators can lodge their own complaints here…
UPDATE: The BBC issues a weak response:
”During a discussion with the panel about various issues including climate change, broadcaster and conservationist Chris Packham claimed that the Daily Sceptic, whose editor in chief is Toby Young, is “basically put together by a bunch of professionals with close affiliations to the fossil fuel industry.” We acknowledge we would ideally have asked him to present his evidence on this, but in a fast-moving live programme it’s not always possible to pick up on every point made by our guests. We’ve removed any posts on X with this part of the discussion.”

Speaking to Sky News off the back of Rachel Reeves’ Air Passenger Duty hike, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said:
“Labour is dependent on those Red Wall seats, and yet every move she makes poisons economic growth and damages the UK’s recovery… it’s the Chancellor who stumbles from policy misstep to policy misstep… I think her policy decisions are incredibly stupid.”
