Boris Johnson’s top advisor says people should ‘join the Green Party to help with climate change’

Boris Johnson’s former press secretary, who is now his spokesperson for the Cop26 climate summit, has said people could join the Green party as a way of saving the planet she then added that people could also join the Tories as well.

Allegra Stratton, who moved from Downing Street to the Cop26 team after she was initially hired for US Presidential style press briefings that were then dropped.

She told the paper: “When people say to me, ‘what can they do?’, they can do many things, they can join Greenpeace, they can join the Green party, they can join the Tory party.

“So there’s lots of ways they can get involved in politics, but for those people who wouldn’t, how do you start to change your life in manageable, achievable, feasible, small ways?”

Jonathan Bartley Green Party Co-Leader said: “After decades of inaction from both the Conservatives and Labour, we would absolutely agree with the government that joining the Green party is the best thing people can do to help tackle climate change.

“As we witness the Conservatives waste time talking about loading dishwashers and fantasy projects such as Jet Zero, it is reassuring to see that they do understand it is only the Greens who can bring about the real change that is needed if we are to prevent climate catastrophe.”

Stratton also said people should rinse their plates before putting them in dishwashers with many pointing out the vast majority of the country don’t own dishwashers.
