Description

As Sunak squirms in the Commons and the COVID Inquiry, we wonder what will sink him first. His defence of Eat Out To Help Out The Virus? Or his own impossible-to-please backbenchers? Plus, how would the Tory Right’s feverish fan-fiction plan for a Boris Johnson-Nigel Farage Dream Ticket play out? 

• “The last Tory leader who said ‘Unite or die’ was Ian Duncan Smith, two weeks before they ousted him.” – Seth Thévoz
• “We’re treating the COVID Inquiry like it’s going to provide catharsis – and that’s not what it’s for.” – Ros Taylor 
• “Hands up who had ‘Rwanda will be our human rights conscience’ on their bingo card.” – Alex Andreou
