Misinformation Alert: Conservative Leadership Race

The document warns that the progress made on climate policy under Boris Johnson may be at risk during the Conservative leadership contest. It identifies 'Backbone Conservatives' as a key target audience for candidates who might 'soften their stance on climate' to secure support from the right wing of the party.

• There is a risk that candidates in the Conservative leadership race may reduce their commitment to climate action to attract right-wing party members.
• The 'Backbone Conservatives' audience is identified as a primary focus for leadership candidates in the weeks leading up to the September appointment of a new leader.
