In recent weeks, a rare bout of political concordance has broken out. Rishi Sunak has suddenly taken to agreeing that the Tories’ time in office has been a disaster. In his conference speech ruing the past decades of broken politics, he added John Major and David Cameron to the ever-expanding list of people he considers responsible for his failures. His ministers find themselves campaigning against decisions they have taken in government: just wait until they get their hands on whoever has been running the country these long 13 years.
Whether you consider this the latest cynical act of a Tory party with nowhere left to turn or just downright bizarre, it’s difficult to disagree with the prime minister when he says it’s “time for a change”.
