Andy Richardson Column: Rishi Sunak lacks aim as he hedges his bets on a general election
The UK will go to the polls in Autumn this year. Unless it goes to the polls in Spring. Or summer. Or, if it’s really, really unlucky, at the start of next year. And voters will have the chance to decide whether they want the same party that’s given us austerity, Brexit, and Liz Truss, or the party that’s got a technocratic leader with a personality bypass. Ah, decisions, decisions. Don’t we just love them. In truth, the choice between Sunak and Starmer isn’t as awful as the thorny dilemma that was Corbyn v/s Johnson. There are clear dividing lines between the two incumbent leaders. And it’s about policy, first and foremost, rather than personality, which neither possesses much of.
