Badenoch was guest of Tory donor who opposes net zero

Kemi Badenoch enjoyed a £14,000 week-long "residential" with her family along with a small group of shadow cabinet colleagues courtesy of the Tory donor Neil Record, who chairs a climate-sceptic lobby group.

The Conservative leader was joined by other members of the party team at a location in Gloucestershire during the February half-term; most of the shadow cabinet were not invited.

The trip took place about a month before Badenoch made a U-turn on the party's commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, saying it was "impossible" for the UK to meet - one of her first big policy pivots since taking over in the autumn.

Costs were met by Record, the chair of Net Zero Watch, who owns an estate in Gloucestershire with a swimming pool, donkeys and 180 acres of sheep-grazed grass.
