Just Stop Oil causing bother at Wimbledon. Maybe they should pass a law saying whatever they throw about can only be cleaned up using fossil fuel powered devices fire up the petrol leaf blower!
The tories think their voters are thick as pigshit. Sunak is woefully out of depth as an electable and serious politician. Basically self serving for the rest of the term of office he can cling onto imo.
Pension for life, police bodyguard and all his mates given OBEs ... ... he knows he can't be worse than Boris and Truss so it's a win win.
You missed off the bit about influence over taxation policy - close to home for him that one and clearly a priority. Also his US options conveniently open to him.

Resulting in him being successfully sued by Eurotunnel for £33m because the contracts were secretive and not put out to tender.
