    Sunak’s behaviour has been cringe inducing. He might as well have said, “Just because it’s corruption, doesn’t mean it’s illegal. And I’m fine with corruption unless it breaks the law.” He acts like he needs the grownups to explain to him what, “morality,” is.

    If a company director had placed a bet on their company being taken over, following a board meeting where a takeover had been agreed upon, they would be charged by the police. If a senior manager had been informed by his director and placed a bet on the sale of the company, they would be sacked and charged by the police. The Tories by contrast do nothing in the knowledge that they can get away with whatever scandal engulfs them at the time.

    It is a rare event, in the UK as well as internationally, for Conservative leaders to take action against their own when corruption is exposed. Sunak is typical in this regard. Corrupt behaviours are endemic within the Tories and Sunak’s feigned anger is just an act to fool the public. He, as is common amongst the Tories, perceives there’s nothing unusual in self-serving greed. Sunak is, and always was, inadequate, but his lack of action against corrupt behaviours is just a normal state of affairs within the Tories. Corrupt Tory behaviours are usually better concealed than in the current scenario. A major political skill most politicians develop is an ability to conceal the facts, and the capacity to maintain straight faced deceitful fabrications to turn lies into truth in the perception of the public.

    All the people so far named either knew the date of the election as part of their roles or lived with people who knew and where reported to the Gambling Commission because they placed bets, a matter or record by definition. There are no ifs or buts about this, there is no "suspicion" involved here, they manifestly did place these bets on the basis of privileged information unless there is an issue with mistaken identity involved on the part of the bookmakers who reported them.
    The police officer in question was suspended immediately, as is obviously right. That Sunak has not done the same with the relevant MPs and HQ employees is extraordinary. We already suspected that Sunak is unable to do politics. This election campaign has proved that with D-Day etc. And now we see he can't do leadership either. Inability to do both politics and leadership effectively disqualifies him from the position of Prime Minister I would say.
