Sunak a political coward I'd say who knew but I think we all did

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Rishi Sunak was warned that he faced exclusion from key discussions on the climate among world leaders at the UN before he decided to snub a global summit later this month.

It was announced last month that Sunak would be the first prime minister in a decade to avoid attending the annual UN general assembly gathering of world leaders.

The UN secretary-general, António Guterres, has called on world leaders to attend his climate ambition summit, on the sidelines of this year’s UN general assembly meeting.

Sunak’s decision over the summer to “max out” the North Sea by licensing new oil and gas fields raised eyebrows among many countries and climate diplomats.

The foreign secretary, James Cleverly, and deputy prime minister, Oliver Dowden, are expected to attend the UN general assembly in place of Sunak.

He and other ministers will continue to use all their engagements with their international counterparts to drive forward the government’s priorities, including on growing the economy, stopping illegal migration, fighting climate change and supporting Ukraine.”


The original article contains 654 words, the summary contains 169 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

This whole Zombie Tory business has me feeling good about the US' biennial Congressional elections - a party that's lost its mandate shouldn't get to carry on running things for years and years.

All fart and no shit is Sunak!

Can't wait for the next elections so we can vote a different liar in, maybe 1 with a spine.

If you’re willing to do in agony from nuclear fallout, you should be more than willing to take direct action today.

Cool fatalist propaganda comrade, Winnie the Pooh is pleased with your efforts to destabilize democratic countries.
