    Sunak is pretty much inactive. He is playing the quiet game to try and deflect a lot of the damage done by Johnson and Truss. He isn’t really getting any grief atm. He took flak from some worried Mps over the latest bi-elections and how much they lost ground. But tbf to Sunak, any Tory MP who thought they were going to do anything but that was kidding themself. Sunak will be around until the next election, mainly because they have no credible alternative. Sunak best option is to go to the polls in Autumn, but he is showing no signs of doing that. The money is on an election next Spring or Autumn. Spring is a bad time, what with coming out of NHS crisis that are inevitable over the winter period. Inflation will still be around and not many are getting pay rises to match it. The only positive on the horizon would be if Russia collapsed economically and had to pull out of Ukraine. Russia is burning its wealth fund in large amounts, but I still think they will be floating as ok till mid next year.

        :) A grammar policeman with style.

        It wasn’t autocorrected. I just not very bright at checking how I type. I won’t correct it, as it can now be someone’s smile for the day.

          It made me smile. Just to think they she’d be offended by it.
