Rishi Sunak’s honeymoon period has become a shipwreck

It’s becoming increasingly hard to see the point of Rishi Sunak. Or if indeed he ever had one. Other than back in the summer when it was clear he wanted to be prime minister. He was Ready 4 Rish! But since getting the top job he’s lacked direction. Lacked purpose. His only mission being to survive another day in office. All he can offer is a sense of managed decline. Party before country. Trying to stumble on to the next election and hoping to minimise the inevitable losses.

What’s more, he doesn’t much seem to care about anything very much. He just doesn’t have the human touch. Maybe it’s the £730m that cocoons him from the realities of the country. Maybe he just can’t help it. It’s just the way he is.
