The King Is Criticised for Making Four Ministers Fly 400 Miles to His Scottish Mansion on Taxpayers’ Dime to Discuss Carbon Emissions

17 September 2023 5:00 PM

The King is being accused of environmental hypocrisy and wasting taxpayer money for flying in ministers to his Scottish mansion… to discuss climate change. The Mail has the story.

The King was facing criticism last night for forcing four Cabinet Ministers – including the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt – to fly 400 miles to his private mansion in Scotland for a taxpayer-funded meeting.

He was accused of an “outrageous waste of money” and climate hypocrisy because the meeting was held partly to formally appoint the new Net Zero Minister in charge of cutting carbon emissions.

Mr. Hunt, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, Privy Council President Penny Mordaunt and Energy and Net Zero Secretary Claire Coutinho all flew on the same plane to Ayrshire for the Privy Council meeting on Friday at taxpayers’ expense. …

Former Lib Dem MP Norman Baker, himself a Privy Council member, said the King’s decision to host a meeting of the council in Scotland “drives a coach and horses through any claim he has to be interested in the environment”, adding: “This is an outrageous waste of money by King Charles.”

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: Meanwhile, Princes William and Harry are competing for the prize of who can be the most credulous promoter of ‘climate emergency’ gobbledegook. The Mail has more.
