🌏 Boris Johnson's green dilemma.

In the latest episode of Westminster Source, @LOS_Fisher explores how climate change will define the PM's legacy

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/…
It was David Cameron who originally said "vote blue, go green", but it has fallen to Boris Johnson to be the Conservative Prime Minister having to put green measures into action
As #COP26 gets underway, Mr Johnson has stressed the importance of coming away from the summit with serious commitments from world leaders.

"His reputation for leadership on the world stage could be at stake," says @LOS_Fisher
🌏Boris Johnson has admitted his nerves around the conference, conceding in recent days that it's touch and go whether COP26 will achieve its key goals
Mr Johnson is also facing significant pressure from his own party.

Around 40 Conservative MPs have formed the Net Zero Scrutiny Group to warn of the high costs of implement the measures necessary for achieving the 2050 goal
♻️"Boris Johnson has a grave task ahead of him to get the country, his party and the voters behind him"
