ACTIVISTS plastered guerilla adverts across London today calling out “billionaire lapdog” Sir Tony Blair after he argued that Labour’s net zero strategies were “doomed to fail.”

Installed by Climate Resistance, the adverts list a litany of offences that the former Labour prime minister is guilty of, including that he “destabilised the entire Middle East” and committed “ecocide and climate genocide.”

Activists highlighted that the Tony Blair Institute has worked with fossil fuel companies and petrostates, signing a multimillion-pound deal with the Saudi government.

Sam Simons, from Climate Resistance, called out Sir Tony and his “billionaire chums” for “torching our planet with their luxury lifestyles.”

He said: “It’s time to tax them out of existence and use those resources to fund climate action.

“Net zero is a key opportunity for the UK to escape the profiteering of fossil fuel giants and create thousands of green jobs in the process.

“But billionaire-backed misinformation campaigns and climate denying think tanks like the Tony Blair Institute keep getting in the way, slowing down the UK’s transition and fuelling the cost-of-living crisis for their own gain.”
