“This is my first time at Davos and I find it quite a bewildering experience to be honest,” he said.
"I mean, 1,500 private jets flown in to hear David Attenborough speak about how we’re wrecking the planet.

“It feels like I’m at a firefighters’ conference and no-one’s allowed to speak about water.”
