“One may be tempted to think that David Cameron’s appointment as foreign secretary and elevation to the House of Lords is symbolic of a prime minister and government that is running out of ideas,” says Simon, 60, a retired IT professional from Chichester, historically a safe Tory seat. “However, that implies that [Rishi] Sunak had any ideas to start with.”
