Kay Burley’s takedown of this Tory minister over Rishi Sunak’s tax millions is magnificently done

Just how much – or how little – in tax Rishi Sunak and his family have been paying continues to dominate the headlines.

The chancellor’s approval ratings have just hit a new low and now he is getting a publicly-funded enquiry into who grassed up his non-dom wife, Akshata Murty.

Sky News presenter Kay Burley was keen today to ask environment secretary George Eustace if he understood why people were so outraged by it.

And it’s magnificent stuff.

And here are just a few of the things people said about it.

“The Prime Minister / Chancellor / Foreign Secretary etc etc, has been absolutely clear on that”. A term that when used you know the background and communications around it have been murkier than a cess pit.

They keep saying "difficult decisions", when the difficult thing would be to decide to help everybody and succeed at that.
