Huge blow for Sunak as Supreme Court flings out his Rwanda plan
In my view this was almost inevitable and Sunak showed his naivety by pushing it so far. Now how will LAB respond? Mike Smithson
What are Ministers for?
A key issue in the Post Office (“PO”) scandal is what the government, was doing – or not – while it happened. It is not within the inquiry’s scope, that being written by politicians and civil servants whose behaviour, or that of their predecessors, would otherwise be uncomfortably scrutinised.
