India TV News  

UK PM race gets bloody with anti-Sunak briefings, memo The memo also attempts to tarnish the former Chancellor with Johnson’s dubious partygate legacy of Covid law-breaking parties in Downing Street. The race to succeed Boris Johnson as British Prime Minister got bloody for the governing Conservative Party on Sunday, with reports of damaging briefings against frontrunner Rishi Sunak and even a so-called “mucky memo” or “dirty dossier” doing the Tory WhatsApp group rounds. Headlined “Get Ready for Rishi”, after Sunak’s Ready4Rishi campaign launch, the memo reportedly brands the 42-year-old MP as having a “Big Tax and Big Spend” agenda. The memo also attempts to tarnish the former Chancellor with Johnson’s dubious partygate legacy of COVID law-breaking parties in Downing Street, saying: “Like Boris, landed a 'partygate' fine from the police for breaking lockdown rules”.
