I think it’s now fair to ask — is Rishi Sunak a Labour asset? Deciding to announce an election in a monsoon. Heading to the Titanic Quarter when he was 20 points behind the iceberg. Posing underneath an Exit sign, leaving our fallen heroes on the beaches to do a pre-rec with ITV that wasn’t even going out until last night.
It has become a parlour game to guess what he will delight us with next ahead of his July 4 end-date. Insult Dame Judi Dench? Canonise Jimmy Savile? Do a “family shop” at Asda without a pound coin for the trolley?
