Boris Johnson won’t say whether he will keep ignoring Rishi Sunak’s calls

The Independent  

Boris Johnson has refused to say whether he will continue to ignore calls from his former chancellor Rishi Sunak. The Tory leadership contender – who resignation last month help spark the cabinet revolt which ended Mr Johnson’s premiership – revealed the PM was no longer returning his calls and messages. Grilled about the fall-out and whether he had spoken to Johnson since he quit, Sunak told a hustings event: “I haven’t – I’ve messaged and called but, unsurprisingly, he hasn’t returned my calls.” Johnson, asked if he would stop ignoring Sunak, told reporters during a visit to North Wales: “That’s one of those Westminster questions that doesn’t change the price of fish.” He added: “There are plenty of things that do change the price of fish, not least the price of energy, but that’s not one of them.” The prime minister appeared to rule out talking to Sunak or Truss to agree more support with the cost of living, with annual energy bills forecast to hit as much £5,000 next year. The caretaker PM went on to say: “What the government will be doing, whoever is the prime minister, is making sure there is extra cash to help people … There will be more announcements in September and those will address the key pinch points in October and January.” Earlier on Friday, chancellor Nadhim Zahawi said that he believed the next prime minister can “hit the ground running” to help hard-pressed families. In a scathing resignation letter at the start of July, Sunak told Johnson that government should be conducted “properly, competently and seriously” – claiming their approaches “are fundamentally too different”.
