Should Rishi Sunak have waved through Johnson’s departing honour’s list? “It shows we’ve got a Prime Minister who is more focusssed on appeasing his own party than putting public interest first,” he says. Sunak did not attend the vote in Parliament on the Privileges Committee report. “The complete absence by the Prime Minister,” says Beales, “feels like we have a Government who isn’t showing up for people in this country.

He talks about the problems facing voters on the doorsteps of Uxbridge and South Ruislip as he’s been out campaigning. .

Would Labour overrule the Bank of England’s decision to keep raising interest rates? Neither Beales nor his party support this.
