Boris Johnson’s attempt to use Dominic Cummings as a dead cat distraction from the Tory sleaze scandal has spectacularly backfired.

Mr Cummings has now raised further serious questions over the PM’s conduct, including his “unethical, foolish, possibly illegal” dodgy donor plans.
There must be a full independent public inquiry into the Tory sleaze scandal and the accusations of privileged access, impropriety and possible illegality.

That is the only way to ensure full transparency, root out Tory cronyism, and ensure those responsible are held to account.
The public have a right to know why Tory donors and friends have been handed contracts, special access, tax breaks and peerages, at a cost to the public purse of many millions of pounds. It absolutely stinks and it is eroding public trust in the UK government.
