Paul Waugh at the Indy has a great piece pondering why Sunak would be careful not to scrutinize what he’s doing when he’s locked up. The fact that this is all going to court could indicate that there is something they don’t want to make public.
This is from Waugh’s piece:
What the Prime Minister should be worried about is the way his own reputation has been openly mocked by the Question Time crowd, with many suggesting his trademark promises of “integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level” are bogus… So, exactly why is Sunak so determined to take political risks as if to nobble the Government’s own inquiry set in the first place? To paraphrase Den Haag (his predecessor in the Yorkshire constituency and one of his biggest fans), if he has nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear. Or already? ..Of course, some of this just stems from Sunak’s own Establishment-style conservatism about what the public needs to know, combined with a genuine belief that good government works better when civil servants and ministers can openly discuss policy options with confidence… But there are also suspicions that he is concerned with his personal messages about Boris Johnson, other ministers, aides and medical and scientific experts.
Maybe everything will become clearer in the Sunday papers we have to look at tonight.
What happened in the past three months will be remembered by people for years and a sign that the political leaders who implemented the regime did not follow through on their own could be very damaging. If you look at Johnson’s ratings as PM, you will see a marked drop when the first suggestion of the key breach became known.
Sunak has led the party with a double poll deficit – this could get worse.
