ACTIVISTS have gatecrashed an event attended by Penny Mordaunt over the Tory MP’s links with climate change deniers.

The Leader of the House of Commons has accepted at least £30,000 from Terence Mordaunt (no relation), former chair of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), in the last two years.

The foundation has relentlessly lobbied against net-zero emissions policy, and has been reported to the Charity Commission after it was found to have received funding from fossil fuel interests.
