    The former Labour leader joked it's 'just like the old days' as he was greeted by an extended clamour from the Commons. Miliband challenged Johnson over UK’s efforts to cut global emissions and asked if the prime minister realised ‘how far away we are’ from the action needed this decade, with Cop26 just around the corner
