'Rishi Sunak is making a dog’s breakfast of climate action and even some of those around him no longer have the stomach to pretend it’s a three Michelin-star dinner' Campaigners have backed Zac Goldsmith in his attack on Rishi Sunak’s climate policies
“Under Rishi Sunak, that has been absent. Climate and nature are not one of the PM’s five priorities – though they are for voters – and the UK is losing its role as a climate leader.
