Many of us have been there – arriving home from a trip abroad only to discover our luggage inexplicably missing.

It even happens to Cabinet ministers.

Kingston and Surbiton MP Edward Davey tweeted this afternoon: “Wishing @britishairways customer service was as good as Lima climate deal. Despite losing my bag there & back they've not done a thing!”

 


 

Mr Davey spent time in Peru at an international climate change conference where more than 190 countries agreed a tentative deal to cut greenhouse emissions.

But the deal was attacked by environmental activists at the weekend as "weak" and "ineffectual".
