>>Sunak seems a highly intelligent, straightforward and able - a better bet than Boris with partygate etc baggage and a disastrously incompetent Truss. Time will tell whether my expectations are fulfilled.
Yes, wait and see. I hope he has good support.
He's not actually very experienced, entered parliament in 2015, Chief Secretary to the Treasury in 2019, Chancellor Feb 20 to July 22 in rather unusual times. There seems to be a perception that Johnson deliberately appointed him on the basis that he would be compliant. It subsequently looked as if he had a mind of his own. At least he can now pick his own advisers.
Of course they don't really have too many experienced big beasts, Brexit saw most of them off.
Zahawi's just gone in to number 10. Unfortunately, so has James Cleverley. Raab is back at Justice and Deputy PM. Limited choice I suppose.
