No Sue Gray report, no windfall tax: Question Time audience member hits out at ‘transparent’ Sunak move

“A blind man on a galloping horse would see this for what it is. Essentially what we have here is the government wanting to deflect from a bad news day."

A Question Time audience member has hit out at the convenient timing of Rishi Sunak’s new energy bill relief support.

The Chancellor bowed to demands for the UK Government to step in and help households to deal with ballooning energy bills and rising shop prices, which are being fuelled by 40-year-high inflation, by revealing an emergency package of extra cash for millions of people.

He has insisted he did not time handing out £21 billion worth of cost-of-living support to deflect from the controversy over Downing Street lockdown parties.

But not everyone is convinced.

During last night’s BBC Question Time, one audience member said:

“If the Sue Gray hadn’t come out, we wouldn’t be getting this windfall tax.”

“A blind man on a galloping horse would see this for what it is. Essentially what we have here is the government wanting to deflect from a bad news day.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
