Sunak didn't even want Cameron
He wanted William Hague, but he declined
Cameron was next choice
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,700
The PM preferred a leader that never won an election to one that did ? They're so competitive.
Just checked, and Cameron is much taller than Sunak, Hague isn't 🤣
Cameron is also a leader that couldn't even muster an overall majority against Gordon Brown - one of the most unpopular prime ministers in British history
It's like one of those Doctor Who episodes where an old Doctor comes back to help the new Doctor.
... and the opinion polls say we're starting to prefer his assistant. I read Katherine Tate is going to reprise her roll as Dr Who's "side kick". She initially wasn't bothered.

How do you know? Are you secretly in the inner sanctum?
However, according to reports, the role of foreign secretary was originally planned to be given to someone else. William Hague, Rishi Sunak's close ally and a previous foreign secretary, is rumoured to have been offered the position by the prime minister first.
But, Lord Hague is said to have turned down Sunak's offer, instead suggesting the former prime minister take his place.
F**king hell 😳😳😳

Polls mean nothing until the actual election day. The Government is always in the minority.

The Blair government was often ahead in the polls...and got re-elected (twice).
A 30% poll deficit cannot be easily dismissed.

Ah that was a popular Tory government.

The Good Friday Agreement. An improving NHS. Falling levels of homelessness. Low unemployment. Equality legislation.
A shame the current Tory government isn't more like that one was!
