Sunak attends climate summit but UK's climate leadership questioned
- Rishi Sunak attended Cop28 climate summit, but was relegated to the back row in the 'family' photo of world leaders
- Sunak insisted Britain remains a 'leader' on climate change and has an 'incredible track record' in emissions reductions
- However, others have warned the UK's standing has 'diminished', with allies seeing it as an 'unreliable' partner
- Sunak swiped at 'ideological zealots' who don't consider costs to families of reaching net zero
- Downing Street warned China it must increase climate efforts, calling it 'vitally important' as a major global economy
