The Sunak Downing Street operation is one that persistently draws
complaints due to its culture of avoiding scrutiny via either
FOIs or elections.

, Labour’s Shadow
Paymaster General, said:
“Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party is in a state of chaos and his
Downing Street is unable to govern the county.
“From small boats to defence spending to waiting lists to
childcare reforms, Tory Britain is over-budget, behind schedule
and without answers.
“Rishi Sunak must answer to Britain. He should call a General
Election and allow the people to have their say.”
