Will Rishi Sunak’s flying visit to Cop27 show us his real stance on climate?

PM has chance to set out exactly where he stands on green issues, but don't expect him to give too much away

Rishi Sunak's whistle-stop visit to the Cop27 climate summit in Egypt is the overseas debut for a prime minister still largely untested in diplomatic matters. But at the same time it is a trip primarily shaped by domestic concerns.

If it always seemed possible that Sunak would U-turn on his much-criticised initial decision to entirely skip the Sharm el-Sheikh gathering, news that Boris Johnson planned to go presumably sealed the decision.
