BORIS Johnson gave a rousing speech to world leaders at the Glasgow COP26 – as he skirted over sleaze allegations by saying rules breakers “must be punished”.

The Prime Minister apparently caught a train to Glasgow this afternoon to speak at the climate change event – where it is thought he intends to shake up world leaders with a rousing speech at the climate conference.
