Did his video breach rules?

RISHI Sunak may have breached parliamentary guidelines by filming a leadership campaign video in a meeting room on the estate.

The ex-chancellor filmed a celebratory speech in the Thatcher Room after making the final two in Wednesday’s ballot. Mr Sunak can be seen speaking in front of a ‘Ready for Rishi’ poster in a room full of supporters.

But a parliamentary handbook for members says committee and meeting rooms can be booked only for ‘purposes connected to [their] parliamentary duties’.

A contravention may breach the Members’ Code of Conduct, which could lead to sanctions, including a suspension.
