The King, who’s known for his embrace of the ‘climate emergency’ agenda, has sensibly abandoned plans to attend next month’s Cop27 climate change summit after Liz Truss told him to stay away. Apparently, he had intended to deliver an impassioned speech. The Times has more.
Truss, who is also unlikely to attend the Sharm el-Sheikh gathering, objected to the King’s plans during a personal audience at Buckingham Palace last month.
The decision is likely to fuel tensions between the new Prime Minister and the new monarch, although a Downing Street source claimed the audience had been cordial and there had “not been a row”.
The news comes amid suspicion that the Government may water down, or abandon, its environmental target to achieve ‘Net Zero’ by 2050.
A senior royal source said: “It is no mystery that the King was invited to go there. He had to think very carefully about what steps to take for his first overseas tour, and he is not going to be attending Cop.”
They said the decision was made on the Government’s advice and was “entirely in the spirit of being ever-mindful as King that he acts on Government advice”.
The 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as Cop27, will run from November 6th to 18th.
Charles is still determined to make his presence felt there, and how he will do that is “under active discussion”. A senior royal source said: “Just because he is not in physical attendance, that doesn’t mean His Majesty won’t find other ways to support it.”
A source who knows Charles said he would be “personally disappointed” to miss it and was “all lined up to go”, with several engagements planned around his Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) which aims to persuade businesses to invest in environmentally friendly initiatives.
Sounds like the Prime Minister has done the King a massive favour – although he may not look at it that way.

No deaths?
Time to lockdown until next summer…… just in case
Lockdown forever is, it seems, the plan.
Lockdown glorious lockdown. Be thankful to your overlords for introducing wonderous lockdown to you, the best thing to ever have happened!
That’s a blow. Possibly a glitch in the reporting system.
Better rustle up some variants sharpish. What about the Bolton / Indian because India and the corrupt WHO have said the Indian doesn’t exist.
Come to think of it C1984 hasn’t been isolated has it?
I knew something was wrong .i saw that picture of lots of people in masks looking concerned somewhere in the world at some time or other .So believable isnt it ?????????????????????????.A bit like the photo of the Indian lady on her phone during the recent Covid crisis .Pictures say more than worsd or something
It is transmitted by moonbeams too.
Surprised they haven’t got Russia in on the act…how about a Siberian Tiger variant (so called because – we can think up something later…)
I think a ‘Vietnamese’ variant might be next on the menu.
Caught it on the World Service yesterday.
And fudge some more figures, there must be a way that the many people who have died in car accidents, falling off ladders, heart attacks cancer etc can be put down as Covid deaths.
“England recorded zero Covid deaths for the fifth time since the Government started collecting figures on Monday.”
I think you mean “On Monday, England recorded zero Covid deaths for the fifth time since the Government started collecting figures”
But it’s still Monday here in Northamptonshire, so are you talking about last Monday, the 24th?
Exactly. Piss poor grammar.
First Vaxopropaganda twists your mind and then it twists your syntax.
Bit harsh, we’re not here for perfect grammar and we’re not paying for it. Fair enough if it was the Telegraph or something.
So i shouldn’t ever of made any effort to write english good because it doesnt effect my pay packet?
Wales?
Wales doesnt report anything today – its a bank holiday.
So its not reported 0 deaths at all, its reported nothing and Wednesday will have the figures applied.
As a B/H weekend deaths don’t get recorded. However, on Tuesday the MSM will be screaming 100% increase in covid deaths, whist forgetting to mention this includes an extra day.
The plan is not to return to normal, it is for continuation of loss of liberties and enforced restrictions.
There will be many days of zero scamdemic deaths as we approach summertime which presents the demise of the seasonal corona viruses.
This is terrifying news. If someone dies tomorrow we have the signature exponential death curve. The rate of change of deaths means that afer 23 days 93 million brits will be dead.
But the bbc news at 10 is full of doom and gloom about a third wave, the Indian variant, scientists demanding final lockdown restrictions are not lifted etc etc etc
Because the Beeb is right at the front of the queue of mouthpieces for this utter sham. ‘Kin b*stards.
“Government guidelines say only people over the age of 30 are eligible for the jab but medics offered it to all adults in an effort to ensure nothing is wasted.” ….
… except lives
And countless billions of pounds, businesses that have been built up over many years, Young people’s educations and futures, culture and countless travel opportunities but hey hoe.
Interestingly every headline I’ve seen today has been about “advisors urge delay to reopening”. It’s all I’ve seen.
You know what’s coming………
What’s that nonsense bar chart about?
They’ll say that you can’t die on a bank holiday (as it was yesterday). Wait for the ONS weekly reports in two weeks time – they always use that rationale to explain why the numbers look low cf the 5 year average etc. After all, 31/5 is the latest possible bank holiday in Spring. That’ll happen whatever the real causes of death; loads of certificates ‘in the queue’, perhaps. Then it’ll look spiky in the following week.
