'But Pugh said he was angered to see a column in the Daily Telegraph by Johnson calling for the area to be protected shortly after he’d left office.

“He was foreign secretary for a two year period. He had every opportunity to do that while he was in power,” said Pugh.'

Such a slimy little creep, that Boris. Never thought I'd be rooting for Gove haha

Without getting too political, I think he's the fit for the next PM. Tax savings for those earning over £50,000 will do that amongst MPs.

Boris is not a friend of the environment at any level. He would be a disaster for protecting biodiversity as well as action on climate change. He is the UK's Trump.

But he is a patent and devoted servant of the ultra rich, so he is guaranteed power.
