The broadcasting regulator Ofcom will not be opening an investigation into GB News after one of its guests spread misinformation about climate action, DeSmog's Sam Bright can reveal. desmog.com/2024/05/07/ofc…

Sunak's speech was made at his favourite think tank, Policy Exchange.

Last week, DeSmog revealed that Shell & BP were given “ample opportunity” to privately influence a Policy Exchange report on carbon taxes.

🔴REVEALED: Richard Tice has used two companies to channel more than £2 million into Reform over the last four years

Reform’s accounts admit that it needed Tice’s cash to stay afloat

Yet BP chose to market gas as a climate solution.
