Much more of this and I might begin to feel sorry for Rishi Sunak. One week in and there’s no sign of anyone from the cabinet. While Keir Starmer has been touring the country with guest appearances from Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting, poor Rish! has been forced to go it alone. Maybe he thinks it’s safer that way.
Jeremy Hunt has been left to post leaflets through letterboxes in an uphill struggle to save his own seat. He’s not trusted to do anything else. The health secretary, Victoria Atkins, doesn’t appear to have noticed the junior doctors have voted to go back on strike. Kemi Badenoch is blissfully unaware a Czech billionaire wants to buy Royal Mail. Lord Big Dave is far too grand to do anything that might involve meeting the little people.
