Facing grilling from Labour about David Cameron and Greensill, the chancellor was nowhere to be seen
Rishi Sunak is a busy man. Not so busy, mind, that he couldn’t find time to text David Cameron to apologise for being so slow to reply and that he would get back to him as soon as possible.
Nor so busy that he couldn’t later text the former prime minister to say he was really pushing his team to find a way to extend access to funds for the bank on whose behalf Dave was now lobbying. But far, far too busy to come to the House of Commons to answer an urgent question from the shadow chancellor, Anneliese Dodds, about the apparent backdoor croneyism between the Treasury and Greensill bank.
