Sunak insists he ‘did not let Braverman off the hook’

The PM seems to assert that the ministerial code makes no reference to asking civil servants for special treatment over speeding penalties.

Rishi Sunak insisted he did not let Suella Braverman “off the hook” after clearing her without an investigation of breaching the ministerial code.

The Prime Minister refused calls to launch an official investigation into the Home Secretary for asking officials if she could have a private speed awareness course after being caught driving too fast.

Opposition critics accused Mr Sunak of being “too weak” to act over Mrs Braverman, who is an influential figure on the right of the Tory party.

But, speaking to ITV’s This Morning, he said: “I didn’t let her off the hook.”

It came during a monolog about earning trust as prime minister, which is assumingly something he would like to do, unlike his two predecessors.

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.
