Boris Johnson paraded his green credentials with a visit to a wind farm today ahead of the G7 conference - after flying to Cornwall.
The Prime Minister stopped off at Scottish Power s Carland Cross facility near Newquay this afternoon before the start of the world leaders summit in Carbis Bay, near St Ives.
Climate change, along with Covid and the growing power of China, is very much on the agenda for the two day meeting in the Cornish resort.
But Mr Johnson raised questions about how green he actually is after flying 250 miles from London to Newquay on a Government jet, rather than taking the six-hour train journey to St Ives.
