The prime minister had the opportunity to make a stand against the lies and corruption that have dogged his party for so long, and he didn’t (PA Wire)

Am I sickened and dismayed that Rishi Sunak is likely to have no say in today’s vote on the integrity of Boris Johnson?

Or am I resigned to the fact that this government has no backbone and no sense of morality?

Both! The prime minister would have the opportunity today to back the parliamentary committee’s report and make a stand against the lies and corruption that have dogged the party for so long. Instead, it looks as if he will pander to the dinosaurs and fanatics on the right to try and hold a sinking ship together. Once more ignoring the more important job of restoring integrity and honesty.
