Original: "Tony Blair Institute Brings Gas-Guzzling Tech Giants to Labour Conference The think tank has received extensive funding

The think tank has received extensive funding from US tech interests, prompting questions about its influence. Critics highlight the irony of promoting energy-intensive tech firms with large carbon footprints within a party positioning itself on climate leadership.
