The biggest test of integrity for Squeaky-Clean Sunak is yet to come ✒️ KateMaltby for ipaperviews
It would be easy for the rest of us to dismiss this reset as another set of empty promises. But sometimes, a politician deserves to be given a chance. Sunak still faces a number of basic integrity tests, including the continuing investigations into accusations of bullying against Raab, and into the process which appointed Sharp.
Let’s remind ourselves of how events unfolded last Sunday. The Independent Adviser on Ministers’ Interests, Sir Laurie Magnus, reported on Zahawi’s handling of allegations about his tax affairs. The results were damning.
Sometimes, a PM with an ally in trouble will try to force an inquiry to conclude before sufficient evidence of wrongdoing has been collected – and it takes a brave independent investigator, or civil servant, to dig in their heels and insist on sufficient time to do the job. But more often, prime ministers with a sloppy approach to ethics like long inquiries. In the case of bullying or sexual harassment, this has particularly painful consequences for the complainants.
