Reaching net zero by 2050 was a target enshrined into law in 2019 under the Theresa May government. While Rishi Sunak said he was committed to the goal last week, Ms Badenoch hinted she would be willing to defer reaching it.
Last week: Net zero roll back is 'not a cynical ploy'
Ms Braverman argued for a change in the way the global asylum system worked, as it has led to too many people arriving in the West. She said the 1951 Refugee Convention needs to be changed, or the UK should withdraw from it. Following suit, Ms Badenoch said:"People present this argument as being something that's very extreme, but… even in legal circles, a point that they make is that this convention needs updating, it needs reviewing, and we should certainly make sure that we're able to have an honest conversation [about it].
"That debate has not properly happened yet and I think it's right that the home secretary is trying to start one." She added:"It's certainly not racist to talk about reviewing conventions we joined 100 years ago. I think that's a ridiculous argument."Watch live each week on Sunday at 8:30am on Sky channel 501, Freeview 233, Virgin 602, the Sky News website and app or YouTube.
