I know it's a council election but this is one heck of a swing.

I remember when Rishi first broke onto the scene and was proving popular. Boris didn't like it and after a couple of weeks the Chancellor was removed from interviews and general appearances. Plus Boris then started to announce financial measures etc. This plays even more dangerously in an environment where you may be replaced as leader. Boris happy to remove a potebtial rival from the scene and Labour happy to join in. Their concern was that if Boris went then so would a lot of the negative polling the Tories were getting.
Labour need Boris at the election, Boris happy to work with them on this.

Not sure Labour actually need Johnson at the helm as long as his replacement is one of the current cabinet, eg Raab, Truss, Shapps etc even would include Sunak in that lot now he veneer has been removed and people can see him for what he is.

On the basis that the Sunaks will be moving to India when required to look after her ageing family, potentially at short notice, does that rule out him becoming PM until such time they would remain in the UK indefinitely?
It seems as this has kyboshed any short term ambitions he may have had on being PM.
TBH if his wife will potentially be off to live in India tommorow will he stick around long enough after to be an effective MP?

The plot thickens. Chancellor puts your taxes up while he dodges his

Really odd because the Tories were telling us she’d done nothing wrong? Why has she had to change her tax payment arrangements now?

In Storrington? The Smurfs are less blue than their usual voting intentions.
Well, I suspect she had a short delay whilst her financial advisers worked out how they could effectively reduce her 'income' to nil, by putting it into trusts or something like that.....

She'd been smeared, no less. Despicable these journalists, digging around finding facts about those that write the rules and tax structures that they impose upon us.

Sunak demands an enquiry over his wife's taxes.

He created? You can dislike the man ( I am not a fan) but to claim he is to blame for the mess of public finances is a bit of a stretch given the past two years.
All leaks lead back to Boris the Liar and Sunak knows it!

Writing off £4.2billion worth of furlough fraud whilst allowing energy price rises of 54%, and giving Dido Harding £37billion for track & trace makes quite a mess, especially when working people have tax rises.

Btw Sajid Javid was non dom for six years until he decided to pay his ‘fair share’.
If the rest of Europe can protect the poorest from rising bills, why can’t Britain?

This year, the German government has provided a €200 boost for people on benefits, as well as a €100 topping up of child support and at least €270 for people on housing assistance, next to a €300 lump sum payment (pre-tax) to all employees. A low-income family with two children could receive at least €657, plus a possible heating subsidy of €490. With other measures this could fill more than two-thirds of the cash shortfall caused by increased energy prices. By comparison, the average low-earning UK family would receive less than half of that amount (£270, or about €325) plus bills support that will have to be paid back.
