Sunak's character may be less confrontational than Johnson or Truss, but on these two contentious issues, he's decided to get stuck in - even if that means risking a fight with his own side 🖋️ wallaceme
No doubt every prime minister would prefer not to have to tackle problems created by others, but that’s part of their fate. If you’d like the top job, then you have to accept it. Wishing it were otherwise doesn’t get you very far.
What’s interesting is that on each topic, the Prime Minister seems to have chosen to embrace that risk early, in the hope of clearing the decks to allow subsequent progress. On Northern Ireland, too, they are chancing their arm with a portion of their vote – and Parliamentary Party – that might easily be infuriated by the slightest hint of a betrayal. The Prime Minister has worked hard to hug close longstanding Brexiteers like Steve Baker, the former ERG chairman, but this deal is still a risk among Eurosceptics and Unionists.
