It appears to me one of the most worrying things here is we have a Home Secretary who said she intervened when she obviously didn't have the full facts, but didn't actually intervene so is both incompetent and lying.

We should stick with Sunak because at last he isn't a hypocrite?

That if you believe lying is fine in politics, it applies to all sides.
