COP27: Sunak says he'll miss climate summit to focus on UK's 'depressing' economy

The prime minister has defended his decision to miss the climate summit COP27, saying he needs to focus on "fixing" the economy.

Rishi Sunak has insisted he is "committed" to the climate but he has to concentrate on the "depressing domestic challenges" of the UK economy.

He also said he has no regrets over reappointing Suella Braverman as home secretary and was "confident" she had "learnt from her mistake".
