I think you need to provide more than just hyperbolic speculation if you want to be taken seriously. Otherwise derision it is.

You're literally asserting that an events company is not allowed to work for COP if it has in anyway in the past worked for an oil company. What exactly do you think they're doing for "big oil"? Destabilising governments via secret backroom deals? Please.

“The government told DeSmog that dmg events was providing “logistical support” for all countries represented at COP28, suggesting that officials were not allowed to open the contract to competition.”

I have no means to confirm this statement but neither do you and neither does the article. It tried to connect two different events (COP 28 and an oil event listed in their annual report) and claim some sort of nefarious link. This is really poor journalism. Really poor. At the very least they could have compared this spending to other country's spending on a similar event spend at COP 28.

So cut out the hyperbole and provide some actual facts rather than hysterical gossip.

Edit: This is actually how bad left foot forward is. They're rehashing an article by desmog which, in my opinion, is much better. They at least provide some context, something that left foot forward fails to do probably deliberately because it's readers don't care about context.

Some highlights:

Nearly a third (30 percent) of the Daily Mail’s online editorial comment pieces, expressing the newspaper’s views, published this year contained climate scepticism, DeSmog found.

There is no evidence of a link between the Daily Mail’s editorial stance towards green issues and the commercial interests of dmg events.

And interestingly the full quote that left foot forward editorialised:

A Department for Energy Security and Net Zero spokesperson said: “dmg events are providing logistical support for all countries represented at COP28 and they have no role in the design of the UK pavilion events programme. The cost of the contract is covered entirely by private sector sponsorship.”

I wonder why left foot forward would choose to omit the last bit 🤣?

So again, basic... basic.... journalism is missing from your post. And not even a five minute Google to try and find out more context.

You're right to be sceptical with this government. You're absolutely wrong to not even try to seek the truth.
