Former Conservative Minister Rory Stewart claims Boris Johnson is leaking negative stories about Rishi Sunak – because he feels threatened by him.

Stewart, 49, a former Tory leadership contender, says the PM is ”probably quite enjoying” the criticism aimed at the Chancellor and his wife.

Stewart says Sunak is aware the recent ”smear campaign” is not just from journalists – and ”No.10 is feeding quite a lot of this”.

He says ”it’s perfectly possible that people inside No.10 are quite enjoying dripping this stuff through”.

Rest Is Politics

Stewart was speaking on Alastair Campbell’s ‘The Rest Is Politics’ podcast.

He said: “My guess is Boris Johnson is probably quite enjoying this.
I think he feels threatened by Rishi Sunak.

“Rishi was the big challenger to him, and I think when Rishi Sunak is saying it’s a bit of a smear campaign, he’s not just talking about journalists going after him.

Green card

“Drawing people’s attentions to questions they might ask about his tax, asking about the green card etc.

“Because I think apart from Rishi Sunak it’s difficult to see who really is in a position to challenge Boris Johnson.”

Sunak’s wife has been slammed for her ‘non-domicile’ status in the UK.

Both Sunak and Murty have also been criticized for holding US green cards.

Sunak studied at University in California but is a British citizen and was born in the UK.

“Not particularly fond of”

Stewart added: “Rishi Sunak, I’m not particularly fond of. He’s not a guy I particularly got on with while I was in Parliament.

“But I do feel there is something very very disturbing about this sort of political life and what it means psychologically.

“He now in an instant has found his wife under attack, he’s basically being accused of being a liar and a criminal when from his point of view he hasn’t broken any law at all.

“I was saying to a friend that I felt sorry for him, and my friend just laughed and said that they were enjoying this enormously.

“But obviously as a former politician, I don’t enjoy watching this happen to anyone, Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem.

“It’s one of the reasons we don’t end up with good politicians.”

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.
