For better or worse the EU gets down to working out something that all members can agree and why much change can be vetoes by a single member.

That all said we are hosting COP26 climate summit - though like many - the Queen sums up what we all think: - https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/britains-queen-irritated-by...

From your Queen's article :

On a trip to a school in Bristol, southwest England, Johnson told baffled schoolchildren: "I promise to get world leaders to cut greenhouse gases and save the planet."

He later held up a signed, leaf-shaped piece of paper on which he had written his pledge.

Whatever the outcome, I'll be very happy to hear about Johnson's pledge after the COP...

Probably my age, but what a politician says and does, do differ.

It's the actions I'll measure upon, not the promissory notes of intent.

I'm pretty sure parent is being sarcastic. Boris Johnson is the guy who literally goes 'uh, I think' when asked how many children he has[0]. He's not big on commitments of any kind.

[0]: for the record, it's supposed to be six, but some people say seven.

I was definitely sarcastic. But it saddens me.
this is for me is a net plus. children of politicians (even how many) should not be a thing, and i’m actually very impressed that when faced with so many questions regarding his children, over so many years, this politician chose the high road. very few choose this route (see basically the whole US establishment).
Yet he is happy to spout lies about single mothers for his followers:

He has never taken the high road in his life.

i think this is called clickbait journalism.
