Two VERY senior Tories in trouble – reactions as more scandals rock party

It's the cover up that gets you...

Over the weekend another two senior Tories in trouble, the two in question are Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and Home Secretary Suella Braverman.

Suella Braverman

Let’s start with Suella, what has she been up to?

It seems she asked a civil servants (the ones they always moan about!) to help her dodge a speeding fine.

The Home Secretary, who is in charge of law enforcement, asked for a private speed awareness course so no one would recognise her, then tried to get the course organisers to agree. They refused. So she took 3 points instead. Not for the first time, she needs to quit or be fired. pic.twitter.com/1nrrwF2oCZ

It has happened before…

🚨 | NEW: The Home Office, which sets speeding laws, now has all three of its main ministers caught for it

Also in 2013 Liberal Democrat Chris Huhne and his ex-wife, Vicky Pryce, were each been jailed for eight months for perverting the course of justice over an arrangement 10 years ago in which Pryce took speeding points for the former Liberal Democrat MP.

Anyway, just a little (over the limit) trip down memory lane for you there..

The PM was asked about the incident, during a press conference at the Hiroshima G7 summit.

Sunak’s inexperience poking through here. Can’t hide his anger at all the Braverman related questions overshadowing his supposedly glorious, prime ministerial moment. He appointed her – it’s Sunak’s fault and he needs to get a grip.pic.twitter.com/L1fhFrvqSx

As ever, it’s rarely the rule break that gets you…it’s the cover up.

Reactions to tories in trouble

1.

A points based immigration system, but it's points for speeding.

— HENRY MORRIS (@mrhenrymorris) May 21, 2023

2.

I can't understand why the untrustworthy, entitled numbskulls that I choose as Cabinet Ministers keep behaving like untrustworthy, entitled numbskulls.https://t.co/BXU9qatB3k

— Parody Rishi Sunak (@Parody_PM) May 21, 2023

3.

Oh I see, so now Suella Braverman doesn’t want a points based system. https://t.co/4zGxNgVtUT

— Tiernan Douieb (@TiernanDouieb) May 21, 2023

4.

Suella Braverman wanted a one to one bespoke driving awareness course because:
1.She knew a more personalised instruction would make her an even better driver.
2.If she attended a course with others her presence there would be distracting to them.

It’s almost as if by every moral, personal and political metric this woman is comprehensively unfit for public office https://t.co/gRBjfTnVSi

6.

She should do a self awareness course

Rishi Sunak has confirmed he has full confidence in Suella Braverman to be a nodding halfwit

Jeremy Hunt

So what has Jeremy Hunt been up to?

Well, he was reprimanded over wrongly implying UK public debt forecast to fall

The official statistics watchdog has reprimanded the chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, after he claimed public debt levels would fall in the coming years, when in fact they are simply forecast to rise less steeply than previously expected, reports The Guardian.

Labour MP Dame Angela Eagle told the Guardian: “As the statistics authority has confirmed, this government has a persistently troubled relationship with the truth – one that is becoming increasingly obvious if you read the fine print.

“It is incredibly disappointing to see the chancellor resorting to using such misleading statistics in a tweet of all places – a new low for the fourth chancellor in a year.”
