Downing Street have said they don't comment on security matters.
Rishi Sunak’s personal mobile number was revealed after social media pranksters published audio of the phone ringing and the Prime Minister’s answerphone message responding, The Sun reported.The number is the one Sunak has used for many years – including while chancellor and during last year’s leadership election, the newspaper said.But the online video that emerged on Sunday appears to show the personal number has continued to be in operation.
Earlier this month it emerged that Mr Sunak told the UK Covid-19 Inquiry he was unable to provide WhatsApp messages sent from the number because he failed to back them up and had changed phones several times so “does not have access” to them.Boris Johnson was advised to stop using his personal phone and not access it again on security grounds while serving as prime minister in May 2021 after it emerged his number had been freely available online for 15 years.
That led to a protracted process to extract his messages for the Covid-19 inquiry, reportedly made more complicated because he forgot his passcode.t a quick and expert briefing on the biggest news stories? Listen to our latest podcasts to find out What You Need To Know...
