Sunak was much the smarter and more worldly politician.
I bet though that it was closer than many thought it might be.

As a public speaker, Truss is a wooden puppet and couldn't inspire a class of 5 year olds.
She's possibly still running on a clockwork wind up mechanism. Let's hope that no-one overwinds her as I fear they did with BoJo.

I don't think I've ever been so fearful for the future of UK politics. It's not been good for decades ( I wonder when we can last say it was good - regardless of persuasion?) and it's hard to see it getting better in the foreseeable future. Though I'm naturally right of centre it is a massive shame that we never saw what John Smith might have achieved.
