Boris has not told me whether this had any bearing on the choice of such a wonderful spot for the G7 summit, but I must say I am chuffed it is taking place in Cornwall.

But they said he needs to set the world an example in the run-up to the G7 summit of industrialised nations in Cornwall in June and the delayed Cop 26 climate summit in Glasgow in November.
Their State of Nature campaign called on him to insert a clause in the Environment Bill to give legal backing to his commitments to protect nature.
Warning that previous high-profile commitments by world leaders to protect the environment have failed, they urged the public to sign their petition.
