Government insiders believe Dominic Raab is fighting for his political survival, with one describing him as “toast”

, the Liberal Democrats say Rishi Sunak should reveal what he was told about Raab’s behaviour before he appointed him to cabinet.It’s time for the prime minister to come out of hiding and face the music. The public deserves to know the truth about what he knew and when, including the full disclosure of any advice given to him by the Cabinet Office.

TalkTV has released more extracts from the interview that Nadine Dorries, the former culture secretary, has recorded withfor the launch of her new show on the channel this Friday. The interview was recorded last week, and so it won’t be up to date, and, given that Dorries is probably Johnson’s number one fan in parliament, it won’t be Jeremy Paxman-style. But given some Tories want him back as leader, there is some interest in what he says.

In the extracts released today, he says people must be “out of their mind” if they think he knowingly covered up parties in No 10 that were breaking lockdown rules. He says: I’ll just repeat what I’ve said before, and I hope it’s obvious to everybody, that anybody who thinks I was knowingly going to parties that were breaking lockdown rules in No 10, or then knowingly covering up parties that were illicit that other people were going to, that’s all strictly for the birds.about Brexit allowing the UK to roll out Covid vaccines more quickly than would otherwise have been possible, claiming “it is literally true that Brexit helped save lives”.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet says he supports the Voice ‘in principle’NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet says he supports the Voice “in principle” because being able to consult First Nations people “in respect of matters that affect them” is incredibly important. “I think this is a time where we should be united as a country, but we should also have a respectful debate,” Mr Perrottet told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “And as Peter Dutton has raised concerns, he is completely right to do that.” Why do you need a “Voice” to consult your constituents? Isn’t that what local members are for? Don't need to write it into the constitution to be able to do that. Does he believe he should consult “constituents” in respect of all matters that affect them also? Or is that privilege reserved for Aboriginals only?

Perrottet slams ClubsNSW boss after explosive faith claimsDominic Perrottet has found support from some of his fiercest political rivals as he blasted ClubsNSW boss Josh Landis who claimed the Premier's gambling reforms were informed by his 'catholic gut' rather than evidence. Even as a Labor supporter I say Josh Landis's position ClubsNSW is untenable. He must step down immediately. LOL, the clubs boss is worried they will be losing the revenue from criminals laundering money in his clubs. Most Aussies want that to stop it has nothing to do with religion. Here in WA if you want to gamble, you go to the casino. We don't have pokie machines in our pubs and clubs.
