Boris Johnson aims to push for more climate action during trip

Boris Johnson bounced from behind the grey curtain on the plane, clearly delighted to be travelling out of the UK, press pack and uniformed RAF stewards in tow, not the pilot perhaps, but acting as the host of the government plane he has had repainted with the Union Jack on the tail, urging journalists to approve of the new paint job.

He put the problem down to the world waking up from pandemic shutdowns, like the moment when the nation rushes to "put the kettle on at the end of a TV programme". Whatever metaphor Mr Johnson chooses, shortages on the shelves and rising bills are an uncomfortable combination for families and firms and not a situation any government would choose.

Ministers are still trying to thrash out the government's own final plans for Net Zero, cutting carbon emissions. Over the next few weeks you'll start to hear more and more about what the government hopes to do as the massive climate conference, COP26, in Glasgow, approaches fast.So the prime minister's main task on this trip to New York is to push other countries to make more meaningful promises on cash and climate.

The next few days of pressing the flesh, a round table with the UN secretary general and numerous bilateral meetings are critical chances for Mr Johnson to take strides towards getting other countries to make firmer promises - and COP being judged to be a political success, aside from the importance for the environment that the meeting is able to make meaningful progress.

Boris Johnson is blasted over 'casual' approach to national securityParliament's joint committee on the national security strategy cited the fall of Afghanistan as proof that the system of dealing with risks was already 'inadequate to the task'. The cunning Great Britain has always been able to play well on the contradictions of other states and has benefited from this for itself. City security is more concerning! Extra police for crime is required after all the cuts the last decade. Thankfully the border is not quite as chaotic & unpoliced as the US, but still a worry.
