I do not know whether the story of Rishi Sunak's schoolboy support for Gordon Brown has strictly been in the public domain before now, but it is not news to many of us. Not that such advice would have had much impact at Winchester, of course.
Sunak is starting to look like the only one who could even staff a full Government. His cohort is by far the single largest, and after the most recent debate, then none of them could credibly serve under any of the other candidates, or even be likely to be asked.
The ever-increasing showing for Sunak shows that they think that he is going to win, and that they think it in enough numbers to be self-fulfilling. I carry no candle for him. But this is the obvious reality. Any other Leader's tenure would be made a misery. The Labour lot did that to Jeremy Corbyn, and that was in Opposition. Imagine it in office.
He was praising the Blair Government, as you have pointed out Cameron was the next in line after Blair and Sunak is the next in line after Cameron, stopgaps are just that.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. And he must have written it right when they decided to put him on television.
