Why was Rishi Sunak rushed out of COP 27?
Rishi rushes out: why was he really in such a hurry?
It can’t have been to write his speech. Can it?
Rishi Sunak caused a stir – and some hilarity – when he was rushed out of the launch of the Forests Partnership at COP 27:
About 2 mins before he left an aide came onto stage and was whispering in his ear for more than a minute…there was a discussion going on about, it seems, whether to leave at that moment. But Sunak stayed but another aide made decision to go back to him and urge him to leave pic.twitter.com/F2xSJc0sEw

According to GlasgowWorld,
No official statement has been issued by Downing Street to explain the prime minister’s dramatic exit however it is believed he left early to prepare for a keynote climate change speech he would make later in the afternoon.
Does that ring true, considering what the content of his speech actually was?
He said things like,
“Climate and energy security go hand-in-hand.”
“Putin’s abhorrent war in Ukraine and rising energy prices across the world are not a reason to go slow on climate change. They are a reason to act faster.”
“We can bequeath our children a greener planet and a more prosperous future […] There really is room for hope.”
If that seems good to you, then brace yourself because it didn’t go down well with activists.
His speech caused scepticism from the summit with social justice campaign group Global Justice calling his works “tepid” and [saying it] “failed to address the scale of the climate emergency.”
Friends of the Earth campaigner Rachel Kennerley, said it failed to offer “adequate finance to support vulnerable nations to tackle climate change and deal with its impacts.”
So it seems strange that this speech is being touted as the reason Sunak was practically dragged out of the hall previously.
Should we expect a new government-rocking revelation in short order?

Sunak had to immediately leave the conference because he had been told his shares had suddenly decreased in value! Sunak needed to take action to ensure his wealth hadn’t dramatically decreased!
Sunak is a banker which explains why he has no idea of what climate change means. He like most politicians has no experience of any subject other than furthering their careers! Don’t expect this greedy banker to know anything about social justice or taking action to limit greed for money which is primary reason for climate change!
The aide whispered: “Fishi! Leave now! You’ve got the s***s! Yes! They are all in your government. The country is drowning in s**t.”
