PM accused over Cop26 agreement

The Cop26 president is being undermined at every turn by Boris Johnson, Glasgow’s council leader has said.

Addressing the SNP conference, Susan Aitken claimed that the Prime Minister is only interested in environmental projects to use for “a wacky photo op”.

Aitken said she believed the Tory minister responsible for Cop26, Alok

Sharma, was working hard to secure a climate change agreement.

Ms Aitken said Sharma was “doing his level best to secure a Glasgow agreement worthy of the name, but he’s undermined at every turn by his party leader who’s only really interested in green infrastructure as something to stick a union flag on and pose beside for a wacky photo op”.
