It’s not hard to count the things that are out of Rishi Sunak’s control. He can’t really help being less popular than everyone in the Tory party except for Liz Truss. It’s not really his fault that the economy is barely out of recession. Covid, Brexit and Radon Liz (her again) have seen to that.
Nor is he wholly to blame for the NHS being on its knees. Though blocking attempts to end the doctors’ strike haven’t helped. And it’s not on him that, almost to a man and a woman, his Tory MPs are inadequate. It’s a wretched time for the Conservative gene pool.
