From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

It’s bad enough Miliband and co flying off to Brazil.

But the hangers on are going as well:

From the Telegraph:

Politicians’ carbon footprints are growing – but fear not, they’ll offset them with a PowerPoint at Cop30

It may only be the first week of November, but I believe the award for Headline of the Year 2025 is already as good as won. It will surely be impossible to beat the following contender from BBC News, published in March.

It read: “Amazon Forest Felled to Build Road for Climate Summit”.

Magnificent – and now topical once more because the climate summit in question is finally about to begin. It’s Cop30, the latest in an annual series of terribly urgent conferences attended by major politicians from all over the globe. And this year, they’re all jetting off to Brazil.

Representing Britain will be Sir Keir Starmer, who must be feeling very worried about the sudden rise of the Greens under Zack Polanski, and Ed Miliband, the Net Zero Secretary. But they’re not alone. A slightly less senior figure who’s taken the 5,700-mile flight to Brazil is Tracy Brabin, the Labour Mayor of West Yorkshire.

In case anyone back home was wondering what on earth she’s doing there, she helpfully set their minds at rest on social media. “Mayors,” she explained, “are the tugboats of change, pushing tankers of government towards a greener world.”

Full story here.

No Ms Brabin, we don’t believe your lies. We know you are going for the junket and nothing else.
