The final days of Boris Johnson’s leadership have brought a distrust and sleaze that has trashed the Tory brand (AP)

So, yet again, we see more evidence of Boris Johnson trying to get around the system by requesting help from Rishi Sunak over the former prime minister’s resignation honours list.

While I commend Rishi Sunak for snubbing Johnson’s latest attempted fast one, this will do absolutely nothing to clear up the distrust and sleaze that has trashed the Tory brand and that dominated the final days of Johnson’s leadership.

If the Tories want a reasonable chance to stay in government after the next election, then the bitter civil war ignited by Johnson’s allies must stop and Conservative MPs must unite behind Sunak.
