EHRC undermined by pressure to support No 10 agenda, says ex-chair

I think we know the answer to that one.

Ah but will it though?Addressing the EHRC’s decision to halt an investigation into Conservative party Islamophobia, Isaac said it was only a pause, while the Tories carried out their own inquiry.
“It [the party inquiry] was due to report by the end of the year [2020] so I’m interested to know whether or not it has reported or whether it’s slipped,” he said.
“My view is that the commission needs to look at the recommendations of that review and if it is unhappy with the approach that it’s taken and whether or not it is sufficiently independent and robust, if it’s not satisfied about those things, then it should investigate Islamophobia in the Tory party in the way that it investigated antisemitism in the Labour party.”

Again, this can just be dismissed as "teething problems". How long will that one fly, though?

According to Johnson, the fish exporters have been filling in the wrong forms.
I suppose he works on the assumption that they all vote SNP anyway.

Time for the government to sort out the fishing issues. The industry expects a better deal. There's plenty the government can do to improve things.

Rishi Sunak does not want UC uplift becoming permanent.
“It would cost £6bn — that’s the equivalent of putting 1p on income tax and adding 5p a litre on fuel duty. Hopefully this will help focus minds among Conservative colleagues on what we value most.”

The fish exporters should have read the fin print then their problems wouldn't have been on this scale.
Anyway - what forms? I thought there weren't going to be any.
