issues facing the country so this united front, particularly on economic policy, in particular with perhaps the most important minister after the prime minister in the cabinet, and potential leadership rival at some point, i think is quite telling and also shows great confidence in the prime minister now has, is he on safer territory? has he bought himself more time with the police are now investigating? he perhaps does not need to offer the concessions to backbench mps that he thought at one point he would. this will be controversial because a lot of people are struggling at the moment and mps feel strongly about it and that is why i think you will see the prime minister and chancellor making the case it is about tackling the covid backlog and getting people into the nhs because they know this is also going to be an on the doorstep issue at the next election, people don't want to see waiting list of millions and
