Matt Hancock as Chancellor anyone?

Is he still an MP? I thought he resigned outright when that scandal broke, but maybe I was mistaken.

Sounding like Zahawi is either going to get the Chancellor gig or resign…

Chancellor is a tricky one judging by the last bit of Rishi's message, I wonder how many either align with Boris economically or  are happy to be yes men/women.

 

Quote

Our country is facing immense challenges. We both want a low-tax, high-growth economy, and world class public services, but this can only be responsibly delivered if we are prepared to work hard, make sacrifices and take difficult decisions.

I firmly believe the public are ready to hear that truth. Our people know that if something is too good to be true then it’s not true. They need to know that whilst there is a path to a better future, it is not an easy one.

In preparation for our proposed joint speech on the economy next week, it has become clear to me that our approaches are fundamentally too different.

Zahawi will be loving all this speculation about himself, he will drag it out as long as he can.

Could also be the one to quit on a prime time interview?

Nope, sadly he is MP in my friends' constituency, always posting videos of himself walking around talking to people.

Top news story about him before this was him earning £1.3 million from an oil company while working as a MP

I am hugely surprised Zahawi has wedded himself to this situation...  I just don't get his calculation...  He must still think Boris has the majority of the party.

Or he believes he needs one of the top jobs to make his leadership bid realistic, if the stories above are true for the same reasons as Truss, make a few appealing announcements knowing you never need to manage the consequences.

As long as he's definitely changed his stance on lockdowns. I remember he was reportedly well up for it before Christmas 

you need to move on.

That's our MP. This does not make him an honourable man. An honourable man would have resigned months ago. Actually, an honourable man wouldn't be a Tory c**t in the first place!

That makes no sense at all. How's he free? Because Zahawi will just do what he says and Sunak wouldn't?
