REASONS WHY THERE COULD BE AN EARLY GE

- The Covid Inquiry - the Module which will lead to questioning of Sunak and Johnson is due to start late October / Nov. This is the Module from which Sunak is trying to hide information
#ToriesOut342 #GeneralElectionNow #SunakOut233
2/
- The Johnson factor - the noise will not go away. Byelections to come - expectation they will be bad . Dorries delaying resignation to prolong that pain

- Tory MP response at weekend was a GE in May 2024 but indicating Sunak would be lucky to keep unity until then
3/
- sheer number of Tory MPs not standing at GE - currently 44 with at least 3 others having lost the Whip 2 of whom lost it over a year ago. Those leaving will have little interest in 'working for the future'

- the 5 pledges
Sunak already 6 months through his timescale
4/
He is aware there is little chance of meeting the pledges
Small boats still coming
NHS waiting lists increased
Economy flatlining
Inflation falling very slowly
Debt interest rising
5/
- Reality is that Sunak's best chance of avoiding a Tory wipeout is to act sooner rather than later.
Offer 'pretend tax cuts' from April 2024 (they will not reduce tax burden at a 70 year high)
Argue he has the pledges in place
Argue policy such as childcare is 'coming'
6/
- Currently the longer he leaves an election the more damage can be caused to the Tories by failing policy, the Covid Inquiry exposures and on-going Johnson noise - which will be loud and continual

So #PMQs

Starmer - Cost of Living issues and challenged why Tories spent last week arguing who gets a peerage
Sunak - Followed procedure

Starmer - PM signed the list and those who partied night before Queen buried husband get honoured
Sunak - I followed precedent and procedure
Starmer - Honour should be for public service not Tory cronies - Is message 'If you don't like it tough'

Sunak - Challenges on Tom Watson - rebuked by Speaker for criticising other member and not answering questions (also highlights no understanding of investigation process)
Starmer - Country paying the price of distraction - Mortgage payers will be paying more

Sunak - Just has a cheap crack about future Labour policy and chaos with Ed Miliband

Starmer - Tories never take responsibility - challenges Truss honours list rewarding failed policy

- they want you to blame Lefty Lawyers or the blob
- they want you to divide so they can rule
- they crave division

The proof Sunak is lying - Holac is an advisory Committee only - the final decision lies with the PM
#ToriesOut340 #SunakOut231 #GeneralElectionNow
#Sunackered Image
2/
The reports highlight Sunaks lying / interference
- Nov 2022 - Holac wrote asking for a meeting reference Johnson honours list.
- there were many briefings identifying Dorries, Sharma, Adams and Jack as being on the list from the very beginning
3/
- in February 2023 it was reported that CCHQ was working on dry runs for byelections due to #Partygate and possible Johnson sanction and the honours list
- in March Johnson was advised he needed to reduce the list
- Dorries and Sharma had stated they would stand down

🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨

The Johnson defence document in full
He essentially pleads ignorance
#Toriesout257 #SunakOut148 #GeneralElectionNow

committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…
"It is of course true that my statements to Parliament that the Rules and Guidance had been followed at all times did not turn out to be correct, and I take this
opportunity to apologise to the House for that.
That is clear from the findings in the Sue Gray report, and the result of the Metropolitan Police investigation, which I accept. "

(That is an admission that he did not correct the record when able in the House - as far as I read it)
