#Conservative MPs & peers hoping for their Party's fortunes to be rescued by continuing to cling to #Sunak, or for personal favours from #Sunak, really need to reacquaint themselves with the tale of the frog & the scorpion. 1/ cont.
As we know, the frog offers the scorpion a lift over a raging river. The scorpion accepts, but half way across, stings the frog, dooming both in the process.
The scorpion cannot help but be himself.
2/ cont.
So it is with #Sunak. He is unable to behave any differently to that which is his inner nature: to sting (fatally) anyone who uncovers that truth by lifting the rock he hides under. We've had him all wrong: he's not a snake, he's a scorpion.
3/ cont.
Thus, #Sunak will always destroy anything he touches, even things or people that could ultimately save him. He cannot resist. That is why the #Conservative Party & its MPs are now doomed while he is still 'on top'.

We have cause to be grateful to #Sunak, yes grateful. For he has done what no one else, not #Boris' friends, allies or supporters, could.
He has finally woken the sleeping giant.

#Sunak has been a very silly boy. Even after everything #Sunak did to him, #Boris was content to sit quietly in the backbenches as a loyal #Conservative. But tonight, there was a turning point, the letter to the Privileges Committee. Finally #Boris had had enough.
2/cont
The trigger was the Honours List, what #Boris might well have seen as closure: recognition of those who had been loyal to him and good servants to the nation. But all #Sunak could do was see #Boris in the light of his own behaviour and personality.
Kwasi #Kwarteng would not have realised, when he first announced his intention to be a tax-cutting, pro-growth, fiscally-responsible #Chancellor that he had immediately set in motion the daggers that would be thrust in his back 38 days later.

The Bank of England, guardian of the nation’s wealth and cornerstone of its economic management originally started life as a private company, funded by subscription under Royal Charter in 1694, as a means to finance the public purse, depleted by various wars.

No, I & millions of others are not happy about paying for your mistakes #Sunak!
cont.
Not happy because #Sunak is choosing the worst possible route forward, increasing taxation on those who have the least income to spare - remembering the truly rich do not pay income tax... he would know that, wouldn't he!
cont.
#Sunak, Prime M0R0N is going to maintain size of public sector but cut their budget - some same useless resources for even less useless work.
CONT.
#Sunak, Prime M0R0N is going raise taxes, hindering growth, choking business, meaning less money in the economy & raising less revenue for government.
CONT.
#Sunak, Prime M0R0N has shortfall in taxation revenue to fill his black hole; so there will be further increases in taxation as the UK spirals into #recession, a vicious downward spiral heading ultimately to stagflation! CONT.
@GuidoFawkes 1. Why was the Minister of State for the Home Office, a department responsible for national security, not herself aware of the #cybersecurity risks which attend e-mails. 2. Why was #Braverman not #briefed accordingly upon taking up the role? Or if she was, why take the risk?
3. Why would she even think asking someone to delete an email was sensible? Any business person would know that:
a) they are virtually impossible to retrieve ad hoc: &
b) this violates the electronic record.
