I’ve just listened to Rishi’s interview this morning with Kuenssberg. Dear god, even by his recent standards he was ultra-tetchy, bad-tempered, irritable and condescending. Does he really believe that the tone he takes in this situations – just shouting the same pre-prepared soundbites over and over – makes him look like anything other than a petulant toddler?

Dim Dowden is not the right Tory frontman to energise flatlining campaign
So it was a rather breathless and even tetchier than normal Sunak that found himself talking to Kuenssberg at about 9.30am. If only the country would show more gratitude to him for the things he had done on its behalf. Laura could barely get a word in edgeways. I’m not sure who told Rish! that a feisty, entitled and condescending manner was the way to endear himself to the public. Maybe he just can’t help himself. Perhaps he’s just not a very nice man.
