I'm going to leave the politics to others. The tax part of the Zahawi story, and therefore my role, feels over. But I wanted to sign off by correcting three takes which we’re going to hear a lot of, and I think are wrong.

So while Johnson has been touring the US instead of Uxbridge earning close to a million it still is the taxpayer who will have to pay the legal fees for him re Partygate. This might all be perfectly legal, but how can this be politically possible?

Downing Street denies the appointment of Richard Sharp as BBC chairman was an example of “cronyism”.

Children here seeking asylum are being kidnapped by trafficking gangs and the Government is doing nothing about it. Imagine getting yourself to a place where you were OK with that. Braverman’s got a bit missing.

Just a former health secretary openly calling for £20 charges per GP visit & £66 per trip to A&E.
This has always, always been the government’s NHS agenda. Outsource, privatise, make you pay (again).
Anyone seriously believe Sunak doesn’t want the same?

"now unsalvageable". Cowardice. It allows the Telegraph to go on pretending that the thing was *ever* achievable in the way they and Leave described it, and therefore that they weren't monumentally and catastrophically wrong and one of the organs responsible for where we now are.
Quote Tweet
The Brexit-backing Telegraph’s editorial admitted “almost nothing has been achieved”, and added “it’s time for the Leave camp to start saying the unsayable: the Tories have made such a hash of Brexit that the project is probably now unsalvageable”. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi

The mad irony of Sunak supposedly legislating to ensure strikes cannot affect “minimum staffing levels” in the NHS.
We’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years for minimum numbers of doctors & nurses on wards.
And for 12 years the government hasn’t given a damn.
