Finally (sorry 🥂) I’m sharing my Investigation of the Year award with @PaulBrandITV for #Partygate. We may have been first, but he also had many scoops on the story. (And we both got so much s*** for it). I’m going to cut it in half and give his to him when I next see him. ❤️

EXCL: Senior civil servants at Ministry of Justice were offered “respite or a route out” of department when Dominic Raab was reappointed last month amid concerns over his behaviour.
theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
MoJ insiders claim the permanent secretary spoke to Raab when he returned to department to warn him to treat staff professionally, with one source, who was not in room, claiming she had “read him the riot act”.
Multiple sources told @guardian that Raab had created “culture of fear” at MoJ, alleging his behaviour towards civil servants was “demeaning rather than demanding”, “very rude and aggressive” and that he “wasn’t just unprofessional, he was a bully”.

EXCL: A senior civil servant claims Gavin Williamson said they should “slit their throat” in what they felt was campaign of bullying while he was defence secretary.
theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
Gavin Williamson made the extraordinary remarks in front of other civil servants in a meeting, and on a separate occasion told the official to “jump out of the window”, they claim.
Whitehall aide reported behaviour to MoD’s head of HR and took contemporaneous notes of alleged incidents, but decided against making formal complaint at the time.

💰Budget update. Some serious expectation management from government tonight about Nov 17 fiscal event.

Warnings over how Hunt/ Sunak could fill £35bn/ £50bn black hole include 50% from public spending cuts & 50% from tax rises on all income groups.
Impact on public spending potentially huge - esp on NHS which is already on its knees going into winter - and on public sector pay which could be just 2% - yet another real terms cut for millions of nurses, police, teachers etc as inflation set to be 9% next year.
Suggestion is that public will be hit by “stealth” taxes with income tax & nat insurance thresholds frozen for two extra years (to 2028 from 2026). But no further hike in main income tax rates/ NI/ VAT as would breach manifesto commitment.

💥Boris Johnson confirms he *won’t* stand for leader.

He says there was “very good chance” he could’ve won.

“But in course of last days I have sadly come to conclusion that this would not be the right thing to do. You can’t govern effectively unless you have a united party”.
Boris Johnson claims he got 102 nominations (substantially more than those who declared publicly).

But adds that Rishi Sunak & Penny Mordaunt refused to work with him.

“I believe I have much to offer but I am afraid that this is simply not the right time.”
Source close to Rishi Sunak says: “We are not taking anything for granted. Rishi will be continuing to talk to colleagues tomorrow morning before nomination papers go in, and discussing how best to unite the party and take the country forward."

Monday’s @guardian front page: Truss fights for survival as Tory rebel MPs warn that ‘game is up’.
theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
Truss will gather her cabinet ministers on Monday evening to try to shore up support - and then embark on series of meetings with mutinous Tory MPs while Jeremy Hunt holds round tables on economy.
Ministers waiting anxiously for markets to open - first test of whether decision to sack Kwarteng & tear up mini-budget will be enough – w/ fears sterling could head towards parity w/ dollar & rising bond yields put upward pressure on mortgage rates.

🚨 Liz Truss confirms she will stick with Rishi Sunak's plan to increase corporation tax from 19% to 25%, raising £18bn per year, as she tries to calm markets.
👀 Liz Truss: "People across the country really want stability"
Truss says her "mission remains" to pursue a low tax, high wage and high growth economy.

Not necessarily what Tory MPs need to hear right now.
