Will the curse of the cabinet awayday spark doom for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak? Analysis from JonCraig 👇
This time, around the table at the latest cabinet awayday were two senior figures facing official investigations: a Tory chairman engulfed in a tax scandal and a deputy prime minister reportedly facing no fewer than 24 bullying allegations.
Awaydays like this have been compared to the Tory"Thought Camp" in the TV satire The Thick Of It, held in a country hotel and attended by hapless cabinet minister Peter Mannion. Mr Powell's memos also reveal the tension and rivalry between Mr Blair and Gordon Brown, even in 1998. He wrote to Mr Blair suggesting Mr Brown should lead off with a discussion on the economy.
In September 2008, Gordon Brown held what he claimed was the first cabinet meeting outside either Downing Street or Chequers. It was in the West Midlands, a key election battleground.
