The worst thing you can do with a Rishi Sunak speech is think about it too hard. The words won’t make any more sense and they’ll just come down over your regular thoughts like a thick fog. Nevertheless, there was something strange about last Friday’s apparently impromptu thoughts, and I can’t leave it alone.
Sunak is worried that extremists are tearing this country apart. Fair enough, good point, except he wasn’t talking about Suella Braverman or Lee Anderson: he was talking about the Gaza protests.
