Rishi Sunak routinely uses pens with erasable ink to make hand-written notes on official documents and in government meetings, prompting concerns over Downing Street secrecy, the Guardian has learned.
The prime minister has regularly been pictured using the disposable Pilot V fountain pens during his time as chancellor and prime minister, most recently while taking notes during the Cabinet meeting two weeks ago.
He has also been photographed with the pen while working on government papers and signing official letters in Downing Street, and at international summits including a meeting of the European political community in Moldova earlier this month...

Sunak’s use of the pens has raised concerns that his hand-written notes could be erased from official papers handed over to the government archives or to independent investigations, such as the official Covid inquiry.In use across Whitehall eh? Funny how those of us at the bottom of the heap weren't allowed to order these from the stationary catalogue.
Downing Street said that the pens were provided by the civil service and were widely used across Whitehall, including by the permanent secretaries of departments.
In recent years, the written notes of previous British prime ministers have been an essential resource for historians detailing the inner workings of government at key periods in history.
No 10 insiders claim the prime minister keeps all of his notes, while Sunak’s press secretary said: “This is a pen provided by and used widely by the civil service. The prime minister has never used the erase function and nor would he.”Well, yes. "No 10 insiders" would say that, wouldn't they.

Laura Kuenssberg calls him out* and he lies about lying. It's on tape you festering dickwad!‘You’re not fit to lick Boris’s shoes’ is what is spurring Kuenssberg to do some probing.
*Another nail in the biased BBC's coffin.

A pen so widely used by the civil service that 95% of civil servants can't get hold of them.
I had one when they first came out. It was the only pen in the catalogue that I could write neatly with. Then they became unavailable on the grounds that the ink is erasable and government departments must keep records of everything. But obviously not the government itself, or very senior civil servants.
I wonder when these pens became available again, if only to the select few?

Despite being told time and time again that it is not legal he wants to try again.
Isn't that one of the definitions of insanity, performing the same action over and over and expecting a different result each time?
