After Sir Ed Davey and Sir Keir Starmer called for the suspension of Laura Saunders because of the betting scandal, the prime minister Rishi Sunak has surprised political commentators by enthusiastically agreeing.
"I suppose that's why they're knighted and I'm not.", said Mr Sunak, "I'd have never have thought of that - my first instinct was to promote them. But to effectively sack incompetent people - that's mind-blowing, if only someone had suggested that last year it would have saved a lot of problems."
When asked if had any more plans to announce, Mr Sunak replied that he was waiting to see what the forecasts were in the papers to "see if they've got any bright ideas."
