You have to be able to trust the Government with your money.

Here's how the Government, with Rishi Sunak as Chancellor and in charge of the Treasury, was spending huge sums of your money during the pandemic.

On last nights #ITVDebate Rishi Sunak told everyone to judge him by his actions.

"You saw what I did during the pandemic" he said.

Well, here's what we know he got up to during the biggest crisis our country has faced since the second world war.

Whilst the focus was mainly on Boris Johnson, it's always worth remembering that Rishi Sunak was fined for breaking the rules that we all had to follow. Image

The first Conservative Election Broadcast is utterly terrible.

None of it makes sense, the voice over doesn't work, unpopular policies (just look at the polling) are pushed to the forefront and Sunak (who just looks weak) is portrayed as a strongman.

All talent has left them. And it's sad, but I'm already looking forward to seeing what @benedictpringle has to say on it.

That says more about me mind!

Here's a running thread of all the things the current Prime Minister cannot recall whilst under oath at the Covid Inquiry.

Some more understandable than others I'd humbly suggest.

🧵 Image He cannot recall any conversations between officials or between officials and himself about safeguarding WhatsApp messages post the announcement of an inquiry to be set up in May 2021.

So yesterday was just an extraordinary day at the Covid Inquiry that's been quite widely reported on.

Here's 10 things you may have missed amongst the huge amount that came out.

🧵 Image 1) Answering a @The_TUC question, Cummings said that providing financial support for the lowest paid to self isolate was "neglected in the chaos" and agreed it was "appallingly neglected"

It's two years today since then Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the setting up of a statutory public inquiry under the 2005 act into Covid-19 and his governments handling of the crisis.

What's happened since then?

🧵 It would be a further 217 days before Johnson would announce the chair into the inquiry, Barroness Hallett, on 15 December 2021 following pressure from @CovidJusticeUK and others.

Three months later on 13 March 2022 the draft terms of reference would be passed to the chair.
