As Sunak squirms in the Commons and the COVID Inquiry, we wonder what will sink him first. His defence of Eat Out To Help Out The Virus? Or his own impossible-to-please backbenchers? Plus, how would the Tory Right’s feverish fan-fiction plan for a Boris Johnson-Nigel Farage Dream Ticket play out? 

• “The last Tory leader who said ‘Unite or die’ was Ian Duncan Smith, two weeks before they ousted him.” – Seth Thévoz

• “We’re treating the COVID Inquiry like it’s going to provide catharsis – and that’s not what it’s for.” – Ros Taylor 

• “Hands up who had ‘Rwanda will be our human rights conscience’ on their bingo card.” – Alex Andreou
