Rishi on top

This afternoon, Penny Mordaunt pulled out of the race to become leader of the Conservative Party, meaning there was no other challenger to Sunak.

Sunak won, despite not making a speech either in public, to the party of Tory MPs, made just one social media post and that was it.

Had there have been a vote, then it would have been digital, and done to anyone, no matter where they lived, could vote. No questions asks. And then at the same time, the same party insists that Trade Unions do things by post, more than 50% have to vote in favour.

One rule for them and one for the rest of us.

And remember Johnson nor Truss published the report on Russian interfearance in our elections and the Brexit referendum.

The enhanced policing bill continues to go through Parliament.

So far, nothing really has changed.

Sunak did make a speech after his election was confirmed. And his public speaking is barely btter than Truss's Once upon a time you had to be a good communicator to be elected a party leader.

How can he lead if he can't explain why he, worth nearly £1billion is entitled to tell the poorest why they have to pay more taxes, have less services. All this comeing from someone who possibly avoided paying quite a lot of tax.

Not a good look.

We might have a calm week or four, but once winter bites and people run out of money for food and energy, what then?

We shall see.

This is a slight improvement on Truss, but not much.
