Crew Rishi Demand Investigations into Inconvenient Leaks
Crew Rishi aren’t completely happy about all of the destructive press they’ve been getting over the couple of weeks. They’ve simply put out a brand new press launch attacking the “continued and deliberate leaking” of official paperwork which have made Rishi’s life troublesome on the marketing campaign… by utilizing his personal file towards him. Now he’s asking Simon Case to get entangled:
“The Rishi Marketing campaign condemns the continued and deliberate leaking of presidency paperwork. We’ll proceed to report all such leaks to the Cupboard Secretary who we anticipate to hold out full and correct investigations.”

Final time Guido checked, that wasn’t fairly inside 100 days. Brexit Alternatives Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg even responded by claiming it was “a shocking promise because the Treasury underneath his management was insisting that taxation was exempt from the elimination of EU regulation.” What was it Rishi mentioned about “fairytale guarantees”?
UPDATE: Now a spokesperson for Liz Truss says:
“We condemn the leaking of Authorities paperwork and papers. Neither marketing campaign condones leaks of fabric and won’t use paperwork it receives. Moreover, each campaigns will report any such leaks to the Cupboard Secretary who might take motion immediately, or by way of the Police, towards the people concerned in perpetrating such leaks or receiving and never reporting materials. We perceive leak investigations might be carried out with out concern or favour.”
