Rishi Sunak has chaired a meeting of Cobra today after the head of the Sudanese army said the UK would evacuate diplomats and nationals currently trapped in Sudan by the outbreak of fighting. Listening to Simon McDonald’s assessment of Boris Johnson, it is remarkable to think how easily he could have become prime minister a second time, meaning he would be running the country again right now.Georgia Toffolo cringes at how many PDA photos she has posted with new Brewdog CEO boyfriend James Watt since announcing romance Over nearly four decades in Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service, McDonald worked for four permanent under-secretaries and a dozen senior ambassadors before becoming a permanent under-secretary himself and leading the Service—which has over 14,000 staff members in 270 countries—for five years.

On this point, perhaps surprisingly, McDonald does have a degree of sympathy for Johnson, placing more blame on his press team. Munira Wilson, MP for the Liberal Democrats, had said Raab is “unfit to be a minister” and has called for him to stand down as an MP. The party’s education spokesperson added that a byelection should take place so that constituents in Raab’s current seat of Esher and Walton can elect someone “who treats people with respect”.

Following the resignation of Deputy Chief Whip ( Chris Pincher / Chris Pincher scandal) over an incident of sexual groping, McDonald wrote in July 2022 to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards on previous official complaints made against Pincher, [20] stating that the claim there had been no previous official complaints against Pincher was untrue.
