Sunak has a tactic for helping the Conservatives win
20 Apr 2023
In the race to win the 2024 election, the gloves are off. The only slight problem is that, having taken his gloves off, Rishi Sunak is now punching himself in the face. Both parties have now made it very clear indeed that they are going to fight as dirty as they possibly can, and on the evidence of Prime Minister’s Questions, it seems Sunak doesn’t especially care if fighting dirty is going to require extreme acts of self-mutilation. He clearly knew what was coming – that Keir Starmer would be continuing his current campaign, which is to try to get it to stick that the Conservative Party is soft on crime. It’s a commendable tactic.
