'Our next Prime Minister shouldn’t fool himself that sanity has broken out in the Conservative Party.'
And the former Prime Minister will do all he can to encourage them. His typically graceless, self-regarding statement on Sunday night withdrawing from the contest for the Conservative leadership was proof of that.
They amounted to a veiled threat to Mr Sunak from a politician who wants revenge and will bide his time until he sees the opportunity to exact it, knowing that a rump of the Parliamentary party – and grassroots membership – will back him. The country knows him to be dishonest and a charlatan. The opinion polls foretold that he had become electoral poison. The economy was already going haywire on his watch, and he faces the possibility of losing his seat as a result of allegedly lying to Parliament.Yet somehow, he retains a Svengali-like hold on otherwise sensible party members, who remain convinced that he is the best person to lead the country, despite the overwhelming weight of evidence to the contrary.
Yet the public should give Mr Sunak the benefit of the doubt, and the chance to repair the damage wrought not just by his immediate predecessor, but by Mr Johnson’s reckless attitude towards the public finances.
