THE Stanley Johnson-led British arm of a corporate-funded US “green” group is a growing influence in Westminster, including paying for two Tory and one Labour MP’s travel, accommodation and “hospitality” at November’s UN Cop26 Climate Change Summit in Glasgow.
The International Conservation Caucus Foundation (ICCF) is a US “green” group which also funds ICCF-UK, their British arm. As I explained back in early December, ICCF-UK is a recent and Tory-focused initiative, founded in November 2019 with former Conservative Party environment adviser Satyen Sinha as director.
In March 2021 ICCF-UK made the Prime Minister’s father Stanley Johnson a director, in a move to beef up their political influence. Johnson’s reported poor treatment of women might make him distasteful to some, but following his appointment to ICCF-UK, the group has made more impact in Westminster.
