Why would I want to deflect attention away from it, Deerey? ‘Think tanks’ have always played an important role in politics, left and right. All you’ve done is buy-in to the narrative being spouted by the left wing media, which is entirely what I’d expect.
Obviously they’re going to influence the Tory party, just as left-wing think tanks influence Labour. Trying to turn this into some sort of “shady Tories” story is a classic example of left-wing spin. I mean, how dreadful that ‘climate sceptics’ are trying to influence Government thinking. Whatever next.
