Taken this bloke a week to realise there was a conflict of interest lol

Meanwhile, Sunak has just dug himself a trap. He said today ""As soon as I knew about the situation (Zahawi's tax), I appointed somebody independent, looked at it,"

But we know that isn't true. He was aware of it back in October when he appointed Zahawi to the Cabinet. Or if he wasn't aware, he is guilty of monumental incompetence because the papers were full of it.

As independent as I am when watching Rovers.

Undoubtedly they were going to just carry on regardless. Johnson gets his loan of 800,000 and rewards the bloke who brokered it top job at the BBC

The s**t hits the fan and they appoint a bloke who knows the broker now Head of BBC but fails to mention it

Ethics becomes the name of the game as Sunak promises Integrity etc so the "Independent" adjudicator suddenly remembers he has met the object of his enquiry "a couple of times"

Probably live together

You couldn't make this stuff up

BST, first you say “but we know that isn’t true, he was aware of it back in October.
That sounds like a statement of fact.
But then you cast a doubt by saying “or if he wasn’t aware” which sounds as though you are not sure of the fact that you quoted.
I’m not trying to pick an argument here but it does seem to be a contradictory post you made.

Cheers rr

Yes I meant to add that between "they probably live together " and " you couldn't make this stuff up" lol

Sunak has made Tory donor Stephen Massey temp chairman of party after sacking Zahawi over tax dodging scandal. Massey works for a firm that helps rich avoid taxes & in 2007 was himself found by HMRC to have tried to avoid tax on £5m he got in bonuses.
