As your editorial states, Johnson`s "record in office is one of carelessness", not only with public money and the fate of British subjects, but also "about the truth" (The public won`t choose the next prime minister. But scrutiny is still vital, 24.06/19). In the list of his "horrible rhetoric", Matthew D`Ancona should not have omitted this particular "potential" prime minister`s description of the £250,000 paid for his weekly Telegraph column as "chicken feed", as it clearly is indicative of his total lack of empathy; if there exists a Labour propaganda machine, Johnson`s mouth has to be a godsend (Boris Johnson has turned the Tory party into a cult, 24/06/19)!
d`Ancona correctly concludes that "we have a right to know everything" about this would-be PM, and that must, therefore, include whether he is as careless with his own finances as he appears to be with the public`s. Scrutiny is, indeed, "necessary", and pressure needs to be exerted to persuade the two remaining candidates to make public their recent tax records. It seems ridiculous that voters know more about the tax paid by the likes of Amazon than about the amount paid by our prime minister!
