PMQ’s and accountability

Rishi Sunak pledged that his government will have “accountability” in his first speech as prime minister yesterday.  After that, he reappointed Suella Braverman as Home Secretary.  Bernard Jenkin had quite rightly pointed out that The Dark Lord, Peter Mandelson was brought back into the government after having to resign, twice, but while his reappointment was morally indefensible, it was not the week after he was forced to resign. 

Also he did not resign talking about accountability, was not taken back the day after talking about being accountable and I am not aware of him hiding from Yvette Cooper asking an urgent question to hold them to account.  Sunak defended her appointment before then in PMQ’s when asked about her appointment. I was not able to watch it live due to my work, but my daughter watched it and said that Starmer did well.  I did watch it later and have to agree with her.
