Theresa May denounces Trump, Farage and Le Pen over climate change ‘hoax’ claims

Theresa May has launched a blistering attack on Donald Trump and other leading right-wing politicians including Nigel Farage and Marine Le Pen over their climate-change denial.

In a wide-ranging speech in New York, Baroness May also warned that the climate crisis is now fuelling the cruelty and criminality of the modern slave trade.

The former prime minister was giving the keynote speech at The Independent’s Climate 100 event, as world leaders including British prime minister Sir Keir Starmer gathered in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

Her argument then is to have complete blind faith in the establishment and don't question anything. Even though we're paying through the nose for climate change. No wonder we didn't get the Brexit outcome we voted for.

She is a bigger horror than those three!!

This Farage and Trump's kind of mindset i.e. a bit simple.

Quite frankly I wouldn't really trust either man.

And the way Former PM Theresa May describes them and their politics is exactly why we should keep such politicians at arms length but be well aware of the sort of danger that they pose.

This is the same person who was denounced for launching a hate campaign against the Windrush generation

I also love her stance on Donald Trump as well

[ethanpowell]

And yet she was close to Trump when she was PM

May was an extremist horror, but she’s a saint compared to Trump, Farage and Le Pen
