Tony Blair has been accused of giving "patchy" and "muddle-headed" leadership on climate change in the UK by his own sustainable development adviser.
And the PM's green views, in a Sky News interview, were "completely wrong", Jonathon Porritt told the BBC.

Mr Blair had said he would not give up flying, doubted any politician would tell people not to fly, and questioned the impact of UK-only climate action.

No 10 later said Mr Blair would offset emissions from his holiday flights.

Ahhh, the good old do as I say, not as I do.

I had a bit of fun today. I was out hammering Woking with another round of BOO leaflets, which I have had nothing but good response with up until now. Today however, I had just bunged a leaflet through a door and was walking to the next house. I hear the door behind me open and a drip stared at me like I had killed his mum and threw the leaflet in the bin. Then I recognised the person as the Lib Dem councilor for that ward, which cheered me up no end. Then I realised he had thrown the leaflet in the normal rubbish bin and not the recyle bin (which gets shipped to China for landfill in the main).

Do as I say not as I do, fecking hypocrite. Think I will report him to the rubbish police.

Yes. An "own goal" for sure.
