David discussed the climate crisis as he hosts his LBC show live from Dubai, where he is attending COP28, the world's biggest annual conference on tackling global warming.
"By the way, Greta is not the only person who has been a bit down on the climate emergency, Rishi Sunak has also been down" David began.
"How can you, as the United Kingdom, ask other countries to change their behaviour towards dealing with our rising temperatures if you can't show leadership in your own country?" the Shadow Foreign Secretary said in reference to Mr Sunak's new north-sea oil deals.

"Thank God for King Charles, and for his leadership" David added.
David continued to praise the King, including his tie, as Charles wore the Greek flag-emblazoned accessory amidst the row between the PM and Greece's Prime Minister over the Elgin Marbles.
David Lammy finished his monologue in asking his listeners, "Do you agree with Greta, is it all just 'blah, blah, blah' or is it any different?"
