Throwing our money away like confetti! Rish Sunak announced a new package of climate finance measures at various side events during the COP 27 climate summit.

He announced a tripling of funding for 'climate adaptation', from £500m in 2019 to £1.5bn in 2025, as part of a broader commitment of spending £11.6bn on international climate finance.

Sunak also announced a new £90m funding package, to support protection and conservation in the Congo Basin, a critical hotspot for global biodiversity that is home to around 10,000 species of tropical plants.

On top of that, the UK will also commit £65m to the Nature, People and Climate Investment Fund to support indigenous and local forest communities. An undisclosed sum will also be provided to Treevive, an initiative aimed at conserving and restoring two million hectares of tropical forest.

Britain's PC cops often irritate us but, to be fair, officers do have a difficult job to do. Particularly when members of a certain crime-ridden "community" start whining about police harassment. A typical example took place in East London a couple of days ago.

What's going to happen in 'diverse' London, 'vibrant' Birmingham and all our other 'enriched' cities and towns when the political elite's green agenda and self-harming Ukraine sanctions cause the lights to go out this winter?

West London got a sneak preview last night when the lights went out in an over-crowded asylum centre.
