X : Did you see this about Sunak and the conflict of interests? - theguardian.com/politics/2020/…
Me : I have now. Ho hum. We did vote in a party which is built on almost no integrity whatsover. Wake me up when a minister gets caught with a briefcase stuffed with cash and diamonds.

X : You don't seem very fussed?
Me : Ignoring law, one rule for them, special contract procedures, bullying, pressure on judges, non disclosure ... there are no standards in public life with this lot. But we've got many more years of this. Just catalogue it in the list.

X : What do you think will happen?
Me : Sunak? Nothing. They'll argue it was a clerical error or something like that, the fault of someone else. My only interest is if they find the source ... is this preparation for some sort of leadership challenge or defense against it?

X : Nothing?
Me : If you worked in finance for a company and you didn't disclose your partner had commercial interests in a supplier - you'd be fired unless you had dirt on others. This is politics with a party which clearly no longer values any form of integrity except loyalty.

Me : I wouldn't stress about this, just chalk it up as another example. I'm sure over the next few years there will be many many more of an even more serious nature.
X : You don't think it's serious?
Me : Of course I do. I just don't think we've scrapped the bottom of the barrel yet ... they can do worse, I'm confident they will.
