How you lose in politics can be as important as how you win
October 27, 2023 9:00 amWhen Rishi Sunak stood on the steps of Downing Street just over a year ago, gleaming in his quiet luxury suit, there was a sense of relief –.
Sunak has been struggling since the start. He tried to seize the agenda by setting out his five priorities, but these have become a millstone round his neck. You could argue it was perhaps admirable and brave to do this. It was also spectacularly naïve to promise specifics like “passing new laws to stop small boats” – not reduce them, stop them. It’s this kind of inexperience from Sunak and his team which is really starting to shine.
The Government won’t fall just because of crumbling schools or just because of sewage in rivers or corrupt, sex-pest MPs, inflation, or the fact you you can’t see your GP or get on a train. It will be the enormous, overwhelming weight of all these factors. And most Tories accept this – particularly after the by-elections.
That’s not a fun place to be. Knowing that you are on your way out. But that’s where Sunak could still make a difference – if he has the guts. How he conducts himself in this final period could make a huge difference to what happens next.If he decides to go down the unhinged, US-style culture war path which the likes of Suella Braverman and Lee Anderson would advise, the Tories are finished for the foreseeable future, and he will go down as one of the worst Tory leaders in history.
