A newly elected council leadership has rescinded the authority's climate emergency declaration with the councillor who put forward the motion to repeal saying the "polar bears are not extinct" and Sir David Attenborough's shows always contain "a global warming narrative".

Sunderland City Council, which was taken over by Reform UK in May, repealed the 2019 declaration on Wednesday at the new council's first full meeting.

Councillor Bill Blackett said previous position distorted spending priorities.
