Rishi Sunak's Time is Up

I fear we have all underestimated Sunak. He might actually be Jesus...

On Wednesday afternoon the inquiry will have the chance to ask Angela McLean why she referred to Sunak as Dr Death the Chancellor. Given she is now government chief scientist, the answer may be awkward and toned down, or perhaps not.

Even if her answer doesnt reveal much, theres plenty else to guide as us to what a virus-enabler Sunak was in the pandemic.

Lets see if the media give proper prominence to Sunaks revealing remarks about handling the scientists not the virus.
 
From the BBC live updates page:

The headline-grabbing comments from Sir Patrick Vallance's diaries involved Boris Johnson and claims he was "completely bamboozled" by some of the science.

Although he did suggest the then-prime minister wasn't alone among world leaders in that.

But today's evidence also hints towards the questions the current PM is likely to face.

Vallance said it was Rishi Sunak - who was then the chancellor - who had not looked "terribly pleased" when he suggested locking down London.

A later diary entry noted Sunak suggesting it was about "handling the scientists" rather than handling the virus.

Then there's Eat Out to Help Out.

For the first time, we saw a (very brief) extract from Sunak's written evidence, in which he said he "didn't recall" any concerns being raised about his flagship scheme.

In the very last words spoken before the inquiry broke for lunch though, Vallance said he'd be "very surprised if any minister didn't understand that these openings carried risk".

 
Twat clearly wasn't listening if he "didn't recall", probably checking his bank accounts on his phone under the table.
 
More BBC live update page reporting on Sunak and the London Lockdown suggestion, this time from their helath bloke Hugh Pym:

Rumours that there would be a London lockdown were circulating in the middle of March 2020. They were dismissed by Downing Street.

Today, we learned for the first time that Sir Patrick Vallance himself had proposed such a measure - ahead of the government decision on 16 March - to ask people to stay at home if possible but not go for a full legal lockdown.

He told the inquiry that London was so far advanced with the spread of the virus that stricter measures were necessary. He said he had been reprimanded by a senior civil servant for raising it at a meeting without prior warning.

And Vallance told the inquiry that when he did suggest shutting down the capital, the then-Chancellor Rishi Sunak did not look pleased.

The final decision to introduce a full lockdown was left till 23 March 2020.

 
Theres a broader picture emerging where the treasury never shared their workings out, were happy to use economic arguments to weaken pandemic measures but not to strengthen them, resisted the idea of having a peroper economic equivalent to SAGE, and stuff like that. And here in some Vallance notes we see Sunak (Cx) arguing to keep shops open and then having the nerve to criticise Gove for making an economic argument in favour of taking action as the second wave grew in the autumn of 2020:

BBC live updates page:

Eat Out to Help Out scheme likely increased deaths - Vallance​

The inquiry considers the Eat Out to Help Out scheme and Weatherby repeats the statement from earlier today, that Vallance did not know about the decision to introduce the sceme until it had already been actioned.
Asked whether the scheme increased the number of deaths, Vallance replies: "It's highly likely to have done".
In reference to Vallance's written statement, Weatherby reads a note from Vallance that suggests that although he wasn't consulted on the policy, ministers were aware of the guidance at the time - which indicated that there would be a surge in infections with the policy change.

 
Sunak: vile, sociopathic cunt quite happy to let people die horribly so his pals in business can make money. So compellingly inhuman that even Dominic Cummings seems to have blanched a bit.

How is this utter piece of shit not yet in jail? That's where he belongs, prefereably after all wealth / property nationalised and sequestered.

Bastard.
 

There was a Global Food Security Summit yesterday, buried in the other news. And Rishi the sociopath thought it a good place to reaffirm his commitment to the Rwanda plan.
 
Oh. Apparently he was instructed to use it sideways. Still, if anyone deserves to be unfairly pilloried as an incompetent, it’s the man who brought us Eat Out To Spread The Virus.

find that difficult to believe - the woman who was with him gave it a somewhat dismissive "come on"
