Sunak u-turns: he’s going to the COP 27 climate change summit after all
Rishi Sunak: he’s attending COP 27 for “political management” reasons, not because he wants to be there.
Rishi Sunak has u-turned on his decision not to attend the COP 27 climate change summit.
After saying he was too busy preparing for the November 17 budget to attend the event that starts in Egypt on Sunday, he has caved in to criticism by climate campaigners, opposition parties and his own climate adviser, Alok Sharma.
It is also possible that he’s going after learning that former prime minister Boris Johnson said he would be attending the summit, yesterday (November 1).
So he’s being dragged to the table when he should have leapt at the opportunity. This is not leadership. This is, as Keir Starmer (of all people) pointed out: “political management”.
