Cop off

Ed and Boris clash in PMQs over climate change and COP26, which is taking place in Glasgow next week.

The PM hopes to rally world leaders to make huge promises to slash their emissions.

But Ed is a bit more pessimistic about the whole thing, and is gloomy about whether these big goals can be reached.

He said:  “In these final days before COP26, we need more than warm words, and above all, Glasgow has got to be a summit of climate delivery, not climate delay.”

Johnson insists cutting CO2 in half is “virtually what this government has done”.

He says the “sensible, pragmatic, Conservative” vision he is pursuing cut carbon emissions by 40% since 1990.

And he claims the government’s net zero plan – to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 – will deliver 440,000 jobs.

“That what the country wants to see,” he concludes.
