Anyone think these WhatsApp’s will be the end of the line for Sunak ? It’s not just Johnson trying to hide them. I suspect it could cause damage for a few including his next door neighbour, wife. Normal criminal suspects get theirs examined.

Sunak's behaviour is quite strange.

Johnson is using his column to undermine him.

This enquiry could be damaging for Johnson but Sunak is trying his best to frustrate it ...

... as you say it looks as if Mr Honesty Intergrity Openess has just as much to worry about.

Which would be fine if people weren't tying themselves in knots trying to insert him into every single political story, long after he stopped being relevant.

At this point it's like the Fast Show sketch where everything is a lot like our lord Jesus.
 
If this was through Booking.com I hope he got the free cancellation option <laugh>

"Rishi Sunak has claimed the number of small boats crossing the Channel is “really a much better result than anyone was expecting,” despite recording the highest daily number of migrants this year."

"The Home Office is spending £500,000 a day on 5,000 empty hotel beds as a “buffer” for higher than expected migrants crossing the Channel, a senior official has revealed."

That’s what I love about this government. It’s efficiency and financial prudence.

What's really amusing is that I can reply all day to people who have me on ignore while they've removed their own right to reply and challenge because they can't cope with hearing anything but their own opinions. On a politics thread.

As they say regularly on Chewin' The Fat - couple of fannies.

"Officials also disclosed that the number of asylum seekers being housed in hotels was still rising and had yet to peak amid official forecasts that more migrants were likely to cross the Channel this year than in 2022."

Sunak basically blaming the weather and season for his plan not working and saying it’ll work when the weather declines. Is he really going to take credit for the decline when winter kicks in? Surely not

Reminds me of Braverman blaming 14 hour Dover ferry delays on the weather ...

... while the dinghies were managing the crossing in three hours <doh>

“I don’t think that’s fair to say that this has been an adverse effect of Brexit,” later, on BBC One, she blamed “bad weather”.

The weather is a major factor in how successful or not successful the policy is.

As is finding out where the boats are being bought from and delivered to, which is incumbent upon the French really. They don't think it's their problem, so we have to make it their problem or we're going to end up with secure migrant camps in this country i.e. exactly what everyone wants to avoid, but because every deterrence measure is met with the usual screaming, we'll have no other option in the end.
 
Any news on the five promises Rishi?


Wed 12 Jul 2023

"The UK government’s cost of borrowing on the international debt market has risen to the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis in recent weeks – surpassing the level during the turmoil of Liz Truss’ premiership.

The independent Office for Budget Responsibility will warn that stubbornly high inflation and soaring borrowing costs are adding to the challenges facing Rishi Sunak, making it less likely that he will meet one of his five key pledges – tackling Britain’s public debt.

At the start of the year Sunak centred three of his five priorities on the economy: halving inflation, growing the economy and getting debt falling.

However, leading economists warned that failure on his top priority to reduce inflation was placing all three in danger, as the Bank of England’s rapid rate rises increase the prospect of a recession, and as higher inflation and borrowing costs add billions of pounds to the government’s debt interest bill."

January

Mr Sunak said: “I want to make five promises to you today. Five pledges to deliver peace of mind. Five foundations, on which to build a better future for our children and grandchildren.
