Rishi Sunak is drawing up plans to drop his £11.6billion climate pledge, a report has suggested. The Prime Minister previously reiterated the United Kingdom’s commitment to spending the staggering sum on climate change as he attended the UN’s COP27 summit in Egypt last November. Sunak’s decision will likely have mixed reactions across the board. Some will consider the Prime Minister’s rumoured u-turn as a betrayal but others will see it as necessary to address other pressing problems facing Britain. Sunak is reportedly considering backing down on his pledge after a leaked briefing note detailed the reasons for dropping the commitment. The briefing note, which was given to ministers and shared with The Guardian, said: “Our commitment to double our international climate finance to £11.6billion was made in 2019, when we were still at 0.7 [per cent of GDP spent on international aid] and pre-Covid.” www.gbnews.com/politics/rishi-sunak-climate-change-pledge-dropped-rumours-latestIf this is true, it's the first glimmer of common sense from the Sunak government. |

So, 'backing down from a pledge' is your measure of a good politician? No wonder you liked Boris so much, Red. |

Apparently they are going to do spend the money on diversity indoctrination camps and white guilt centres in every town.
