Tories storm out from the council chamber during climate change talks

Last night, there was no episode of 8 out of 10 cats on the TV but there was definitely an episode of 8 out of 10 clowns in Wolverhampton’s Council chamber!

One of the biggest issues facing the country right now is climate change. As our Council is about to move a motion to declare a climate change emergency and receive a presentation from our Youth Council, eight out of ten Tory Councillors shamefully stormed out of the Council chamber.

It’s utterly embarrassing that they would behave in this way.

I’d urge them to issue a full apology to the young people who came to our meeting who were excited and energised to deliver a presentation to all of our city councillors. I’d also like to commend Cllr Stevenson and Cllr Appleby for having the respect and decency to see this motion through and not following their colleagues.
