Labour‘s ‘woke’ rewilding drive risks fuelling a surge in wildfires, experts warned, as a huge blaze tore across almost 1,000 acres of moorland.
The inferno on Tintwistle Moor, near Glossop, Derbyshire, broke out on Wednesday night as Britain recorded its, then, hottest ever June day, leaving the ground dangerously dry.
Multiple fire engines and two helicopters battled the blaze, which sent thick smoke and ash billowing for miles across neighbouring towns and villages.
While the cause of it remains unknown, the Government was warned its rewilding policies may have added fuel to the flames, which only came under control on Friday night.
