Oops another bad decision by Sunak

Of course the economy is crucial and Rishi Sunak wants to devote his time to getting it right. But sometimes a leader of a country has to drop everything and be in the right place at the right time. The next climate-change summit for world leaders is on November 8 at Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. But Sunak says he won't go because he will be too busy working on the economy. Perhaps he has forgotten that he is no longer the chancellor but is the prime minister. The prime minister should be at the climate-change summit even if it falls at a bad time for him, schedule-wise. It's just too important. Joe Biden will be there, Emmanuel Macron will be there, all the world's leaders will be there. But the UK will be represented by someone who isn't even in Sunak's cabinet. What will Biden think when he has to deal with some underling? It should be a time for all leaders to get together and discuss how to save the planet but the UK will not be suitably represented. It's another case of poor judgment oh dear. Something makes me think he will have to change his mind. Perhaps his first u-turn. Unless a u-turn over his choice of Suella Braverman as Home Secretary is to be his first one.
