THE Tory government is keen to use the upcoming UN climate summit as an opportunity to rebrand itself – and wants to use plenty of Union flags in the process. Whitehall sources say the COP26 conference, due to be held in Glasgow this autumn, will be “bigger than the Olympics”. The Government sees the major global event as an opportunity to put Covid-19 behind it, forget the challenges of Brexit and promote the Union. Although the event is behind held in Scotland’s biggest city, Boris Johnson has previously made his views on the nation’s involvement in it clear. Last year it was reported that he refused to give Nicola Sturgeon a role in event planning. After he became Tory leader, he told his party conference that the First Minister shouldn’t be “anywhere near” the climate summit.
