Risky is their best bet because he's a smart operator and from all accounts takes note of the detail - that which Bozo never did. Having said that he's going to prescribe some terrible cuts, especially local government because that makes it look like HM government is not as blameworthy.
His immense wealth is his achilles heel. Whilst he heats up a swimming pool within his gardens, the community pool within his constituency cannot afford the heating so thousands of people are denied swimming. He is said to be richer than the king and whilst that's not a crime, it doesn't sit well with the man responsible for determining cuts, cuts and more cuts. Like Truss, he's all for trimming the size of the state.
I agree it will be an issue, but I hope it doesn't get in the way. If he does a good job and gets us through the next couple of years then it doesn't matter if he is the richest or poorest man in the country to me.

I guess that many of the MP's of all parties are pretty well-off. Those who have worked with Sunak seem to speak very highly of him regarding his work ethics etc. I hope he will be judged on his time in office, not his bank balance.
