This may surprise you but, on a personal level, I have some sympathy for Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. Alongside David Miliband, Andrea Leadsom and David Davis, I am among 0.001 per cent of the British public who has come second in a leadership election.
I know something of how it feels to be them. Right now, everything they do and say, or have done or said, is subject to the most unforgiving commentary.
