On #bbcqt tonight: GB News's Tom Harwood (again); & Climate Minister Graham Stuart, appointed by multimillionaire free-market ex-banker Rishi Sunak. Stuart received campaign donations from one of the largest fuel distributors in the UK, & an aviation consultant & recruiter.
In 2019, Stuart received a £10,000 donation towards his re-election campaign from JR Rix & Sons, a Hull-based business primarily involved in the distribution and sale of fuel, including heating oil, diesel and petrol.
Climate Minister Stuart recently told the all-party parliamentary group for the environment that he firmly supported a new coalmine in Cumbria and backed the latest oil and gas licensing round.

Stuart said a 'more nuanced' take on fossil fuels is required “rather than viewing all fossil fuels as the spawn of the devil”.
In the same meeting, he said he had “time for climate change sceptics” & does not believe that they should be “pushed out of the conversation”.

This is the third time that GB "News" presenter Tom Harwood has been on #bbcqt, & continues the deeply concerning trend of having explicitly right-wing panellists from right-wing overseas based billionaire-owned or multimillionaire-funded
news media.

My open letter to the @BBC raising very widely held concerns about biases on #bbcqt, published on February 18th, has now been read more than 200,000 times, by people in 144 countries.
The @BBC has still not bothered to give me the courtesy of a reply.
