Boris Johnson will attend the climate conference in Egypt next week after being invited by the event's organizers.

His successor at No 10 was under pressure to attend after he initially said he was too busy preparing for the budget.

It now seems like Mr Sunak will go after it.

Significant progress is being made on the financial statement.

If Mr Sunak's plans change, No 10 will give an update.

The 27th meeting of the Conference of the Parties is scheduled to begin on Sunday.

A gathering of world leaders, including US President Joe Biden, is scheduled for Monday.

Scotland's First Minister will also be at the event, as Liz Truss was the PM when she was.

Mr Johnson said he was interested in going to the UN conference to get an agreement on reducing carbon emissions.

The previous COP conference was held in Glasgow last year.

He said that the UK hosted the COP was a great success and was doing a lot for the planet.

Mr Johnson wants to talk about how he sees things in the UK and how he sees things in Egypt.

The UK held the summit in Glasgow last year.

The president of the UK's COP26 says the prime minister should leave.

Mr Johnson said in an interview that Putin would be crazy to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Mr Johnson said that if Mr Putin used a nuclear weapon, Russia would leave the club of civilized nations.

It would be a total disaster for Russia, according to the former UK leader. Mr Johnson said that Mr Putin would lose the middle ground of global tacit acquiescence.
