Rishi Sunak is getting a publicly-funded enquiry into who grassed up his non-dom wife

A Whitehall enquiry no less. Which means the taxpayer is footing the bill. So essentially we are paying to find out how we found out. The appropriate punchline. https://t.co/tRcJtBbc0v

I think we now accept that our politicians are unscrupulous. The fact that he’s deciding to drag this out raises the more worrying matter that the person in charge of our country’s finances is an idiot. https://t.co/pgy1P5sbA1

Thinking your tax affairs are private is a little bit Trumpy, isn't it? https://t.co/FCrbFJhSic

Remember, you should never, ever reflect on your own actions. You should always demand an inquiry into the dirty rat who leaked the incriminating information about you. Because the mafia moral compass is, after all, an inspiration to us all.

Please someone tell him that there may or may not have been a leak but it’s impossible to say until the conclusion of any report that won’t actually be revealed. https://t.co/weR9s5El65

I demand an inquiry into who grassed me up for nicking all the choccie biccies, as they are actually at fault even though I ate them all https://t.co/iGTSbz6h0C

how exactly was "this is a Labour smear" meant to work as a line of defence anyway? Rishi Sunak is basically going round accusing the opposition of competence

Rishi Sunak wants an enquiry into who leaked details of his wife’s tax status. I want an enquiry into why he has put up taxes 15 times for ordinary people while his family was allowed to get away with not paying taxes.

Of course, Sunak’s anger at the public knowing about his wife’s status raised another question –

It's either absolutely fine and above board or it's something you wanted hidden, Rishi. Pick one.
