rishi sunak be the successor. and where the for rishi sunak will be, he isn't universally popular in the party anyway and he was out before to to his tax affairs. they'll be seen by some mps is arrogant and aloof. so it won't help his position in relation to them. it is not happier news, especially not for people who are trying to get away for an easter weekend because this report says the travel chaos could continue for as long as 12 months and no one wants to see that, jazmine. months and no one wants to see that, jazmine. �* , _ , months and no one wants to see that, jazmine. �* , ., ,, ., jazmine. and this says appeared in this particular _ jazmine. and this says appeared in this particular newspaper- jazmine. and this says appeared in this particular newspaper but - jazmine. and this says appeared in this particular newspaper but it - jazmine. and this says appeared in this particular newspaper but it is i this particular newspaper but it is one of— this particular newspaper but it is one of the — this particular newspaper but it is one of the reasons why we know that the post—brexit system has been chaotic— the post—brexit system has been chaotic and almost nonfunctioning
