Sunak offering a good feast to the dissident luminaries in his Party this morningGullis , Francois , 30p Anderson and the rest filing out of No 10 and trotting along in single file it looked like the only Tory MP I've ever had to endure Fletcher MP
I really don't understand Sunak. Doesn't he see the obvious? The more he feeds the Tory far right tiger, the more it wants to eat. They don't WANT to be satisfied. They want to keep pulling the party further to the batshit right.Sunak is gone in 12 months. A political career ended. He could do the Tory party the service it needs by calling out these MPs for what they are, and let the process begin of re-establishing the Tories as a mature, intelligent, evidence-led party. He'd go down in history for that. But he hasn't got the balls or the vision to do it. So he's going to feed the tiger even more.
So Rishi Sunak, who promised to always take "long term decisions for a brighter future" has managed to stake the future of the country on the outcome of a bacon sandwich meeting with Jonathan GullisRobbed off twitter but thought it summed things up nicely
This is how utterly anchorless this Government is.There are vital climate change negotiations going on in UAE.Our Energy minister is there, as he should be.Except...no he isn't. He's currently on a plane flying back so he can be lobby fodder tonight.Sunak needs his vote in a debate over a policy that will never work, and even if it did, would not solve the problem it is supposed to address.Our minister is leaving globally vital talks, to try to help Sunak not lose face by losing this pointless vote.

I saw bits of what he said in parliament today. He has a point in some ways even if we don't all want to admit it.
