Julia Hartley-Brewer rips into policy researcher over climate change

Rishi Sunak could U-turn on his decision to skip a crunch climate summit if he feels sufficient progress has been made planning for his highly-anticipated autumn budget, No 10 has confirmed.

The Prime Minister last week insisted he must focus on the “depressing domestic challenges” rather than go to the Cop27 conference in Egypt, drawing widespread criticism, including from within the Tory ranks.

But following reports this could change, No 10 confirmed on Monday that the position was “under review”.

The PM’s official spokesman said Mr Sunak’s attendance in Sharm El-Sheikh was dependent on preparations for the autumn budget, due on November 17.

Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with IPPR’s Luke Murphy who says Rishi Sunak should attend the Cop27 climate conference.

“What’s going to be achieved at Cop27 that wasn’t achieved at Cop26, Cop25..?”
