The cabinet appeared to be in a glum mood today amid another scandal engulfing Boris Johnson's Premiership.
Secretaries of state sat glum-faced while the prime minister was accused of a "cover up" on what he knew and when about Chris Pincher, who resigned as deputy chief whip last week after being accused of groping two men at a private members' club for Tories in central London.
Boris Johnson tried to put a brave show on it, talking about a change to National Insurance that will give people more money in their pay packets.But the glum faces of the politicians he considers those closest to him show how much trouble he is really in. Sat next to her is Jacob Rees-Mogg, the government efficiencies minister and Suella Braverman, the attorney general, both of whom were struggling to manage a smile.
