He is supposed to be Prime Minister.
But he “doesn’t want to influence anybody.”
He’s in the wrong job. https://t.co/N4q3ibZogo

'A matter for the House' – I thought Sunak was a member of that House, or has he forgotten? Unfortunately, we don't have separation of executive & legislature in our donkey constitution, so he can't hide behind the pretence of one. https://t.co/RySH0X3lVd

Rishi won't be voting tonight, as he has a prearranged appointment to hide in his fridge. https://t.co/KBo8bC3co2

Why wouldn't you want to influence anyone @RishiSunak? You're the bloody Prime Minister. If *you* can't influence your backbenchers who can? Or should? https://t.co/mxY5ko6sz1

Sunak doing a four week election campaign is going to be quite a thing. He could well be worse than May. https://t.co/gaYsxkyKcr

This is a matter for all parliamentarians in the house.
The spineless little whelk is running away from endorsing the committee sanctions – from upholding standards.
Because he can't risk supporting them, it sets a precedent for when it is a vote on him. https://t.co/JQSTrbfSG6

It's sweet of him to think he has any influence whatsoever over the rest of his party. https://t.co/Xsuvfsm3eY

To conclude …
Sunak cannot even say whether he’ll be voting on the partygate inquiry today. Weak as water and twice as wet. pic.twitter.com/48bOhVFQhZ https://t.co/AqS0dJVg1h
