(Picture: Daniel Hambury)No one was prepared for the sheer unbridled drama that unfolded yesterday afternoon in Westminster. Just before it all kicked off, I took a call from a prominent Tory who sounded utterly dejected. But what’s going to happen, I pressed them? Probably nothing they said. Cabinet members are too scared about making any moves. Just look at what they did to Rishi.
Within an hour, both Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak had walked. The first two ethnic minority Chancellors this country has ever had had finally had enough. Their Asian mums probably had a word.
