Cometh the hour, cometh the man. At last, a deputy whom Rishi Sunak can trust. Trust to be thoroughly mediocre. The last thing an interim prime minister – there’s an unquestionable lightness of being to Rish!: even he doesn’t seem to know what he stands for – who is grooming his party for opposition really wants is a number two biting at his heels.
Certainly not a malign presence like Dominic Raab who would smile while killing you. And who you know believes he would do a far better job. Just biding his time. Though Dom has a lot of time on his hands these days.
