So, in the far off days of summer Sunak lost the initial battle but now appears to have won the ‘war’.
The prize? Picking up the possibly poisoned chalice of running our beleaguered nation.

For those with any interest in the politics which will define all our lives in the forthcoming months and years, what chance does he have?
Maybe not the brightest of starts with the re-appointment of a Home Secretary widely perceived as a security risk and the ‘U’ turn over COP27.

Moving forward though. How will he manage the expectations and fears associated with Brexit, Putin and the deepening divisiveness amongst our allies across the ‘Pond’...and what of our own ‘eye watering’ other economic issues?

Who to tax and how to tax? Is there anything left to cut? Is the ‘triple lock’ promise likely to survive? How will we support those in increasingly real and desperate need thanks, amongst other things, to Putin, short sighted fuel policies and the profiteering of oil companies?
What can we expect from the upcoming Autumn Statement or is it all now Mission Impossible?

Thoughts on how this will impact upon us all?
