UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Faces Backlash Over Secret Meetings with Dominic Cummings

Cummings Claims Sunak Sought 'Secret Deal' for Election Help, Prompting Calls for Inquiry into Potential Breach of Ministerial Code

Rishi Sunak, the UK Prime Minister, has faced backlash from Tory MPs over secret meetings with Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson's former chief adviser.
Cummings claims Sunak sought a 'secret deal' with him to help the Tories win the next election, but he declined the offer.
The Liberal Democrats have called for an inquiry into whether Sunak breached the ministerial code by holding these secret meetings.
Sunak's political opponents, including Labour and the Liberal Democrats, have criticized him for these meetings, claiming it shows he is 'out of ideas' and 'too weak to come up with his own'.
Cummings, a controversial figure, left Johnson's No 10 in 2020 after a power struggle and has since become a prominent critic of the former Prime Minister.
