Yet more Tory sleaze….

One of those fights where any outcome is going to be a good one.

I don’t agree. As much as I dislike Hancock I would hate to see a vaccine denier win.
Bridgen is a grade A prick.

Zahawi gone ...sacked by Sunak.Serious breach of ministerial code.

Braverman, a leading rightwinger, was sacked by the prime minister because she sent an official document from her personal email to a fellow MP, in a serious breach of ministerial rules.

Will Zahawi beat Braverman's six days in the wilderness, and be back in post in fewer? Nailbiting stuff.

Will Johnson replace Zahawi in the job. Riveting stuff, especially for frogs.

Not sacked for tax dodging though. Sacked for not telling he was under investigation for tax dodging. Big difference.

Does it matter....who's really bothered.He hasn't stood down as a MP.Sunak knew all this weeks ago.Seems like every one of them is bent.

It matters because of the implications for other members of the cabinet who may or may not be fiddling their taxes. So yeah, maybe every one of them is bent but as long as nobody's officially under investigation that's fine.

Basically it means Sunak is free to fiddle his own taxes.

The letter to the PM from the Ethics Adviser has been published:

Damning doesn't really cover it.

You actually think any of them don't bend the rules on their taxes ? Nobody is that bothered,just the same as Johnson.It will be yesterday's news by the end of the week.They only get sacked when the sleaze becomes too public and embarrassing.

Yeah that's kind of my point.

I generally think there's so much corruption and sleaze that it becomes a non story within a week or so.Who can even remember half of it ! They have been and still are taking the p1ss right in front of us.

God I've just read his reply and it's horrendous. For many reasons actually but the entitlement is next level stuff.

Oh this is a bit awkward ...
