John Redwood's Diary (Free subscription) | yesterday
Mr. John Redwood (Wokingham) (Con): I rise to defend myself against the strange charge from the Labour Benches that some years ago, when I was the Secretary of State for Wales, I sent back £120 million from the Treasury. I do not understand why, a few days after Labour issued the smarter government document, it [...]

John Redwood declared on his blog this week that "We will benefit from the better weather for tourism, agriculture and outdoor sports." This, of course, is his in-depth analysis of the impacts of climate change. Genius. This of course happily balances out massive species loss, widespread loss of human life, resource wars - and something that Mr Redwood should really be...

... with, a “bureaucracy” to police it, that Cameron explicitly disavows, and Redwood promises to dismantle. The man Cameron has put in charge of drawing up his plans for “a bonfire of regulation” is John Redwood , who says global warming is a “swindle” – but if it was happening we should celebrate because we will have more sunny days....

John Redwood is thinks man made global warming is a "swindle" . I was interested to note his extensive knowledge of, and interest in, conditions on Mars. He has seen on the news that Mars is heating up, therefore AGW is false because it is happening on Mars too. So off we go to Real Climate to find out what is going on. Steinn Sigurdsson says: Recently, there have been some...

... my outlook; well, not yet anyway. I am also guessing that in a few days time, when the likes of John Redwood and Fraser Nelson have dug through the details, whatever the top line cut figures are on my TV tonight will actually be revealed to be lower, and/or the proposed tax hikes actually deeper into our pockets... Like I say, I will wait for a few of the better economic journalists...

... defection cropped up. Helen Mary had first go, and started banging on about Margaret Thatcher and John Redwood. I couldn't make much of what she was saying, but to be fair, she was holding a c*** hand. Anyway, when my turn came, I just said how pleased we were that Mohammad had decided to join us, and that I knew he'd been impressed by the Conservative Group in the National Assembly,...

... But how to downsize without throwing the baby out with the bathwater? From Will Hutton John Redwood's saying: “Britain is now a large bank with a medium-sized government attached to it,” is sadly apposite. The national debate should be how to shrink it. Worse, as banks necessarily reduce their size and the riskiness of their lending, they are in no position to finance economic...

Another great day today at The WWF - no wrestling or endangered yeti I am afraid. It was great having John Redwood MP for Wokingham once again at ASDW's Wokingham Wine Festival . But what's crazy is that he did not want to be photographed with wine in his hands. Such is the paranoia both about MPs expenses and the anti-alcohol increasing fascist lobby that there is a fear that the press...

... sketches and satirical comments" (it says down here). And this week, after wittily describing John Redwood as a "glassy-eyed replicant MP" , he spent most of his slot having a go at the TaxPayers' Alliance (you can listen again here - 11 mins 50 secs in - HTP Bill Quango ). We won't waste time quoting him, but essentially he says the TPA are evil anti-social racist...

Max Planck famously said that scientific theories prevail not because their opponents are converted, but because they eventually die. A similar thought seems to have occurred to Tim Yeo, chairman of the Commons Environmental Audit Committee, hitting back at climate-change sceptic Tories (who include, with varying degrees of conviction, the heavy-hitters David Davis, John Redwood and Peter...

Fewer people will die of the cold and from snow and ice in the winter.' As both may have realised by now the reality is wetter and colder winters, shorter...

"We will benefit from better weather for tourism, agriculture and outdoor sports" John Redwood MP on climate change The chugging Tory spin machine is working on overdrive today to try and conceal the real truth that the Tory Vote Blue: Go Green slogan was nothing but hot air and that the it is stuffed full of closet climate change deniers. "When I was a member of Friends...
