Who’s the real Sunak? Matthew Parris tells us

The Conservative psychodrama has given us a new PM, a new cabinet and a whole lot more restive MPs. So what should we expect from the party’s latest iteration? Commentator and former Tory MP Matthew Parris talks to Ros Taylor about the “pleasant” Prime Minister Sunak, “appalling” Suella Braverman and what we can expect from his premiership.

• “The Conservative Party has a sense of burnout.”
• “Beyond the commentariat, people don’t want a general election.”
• “Without Sunak’s patronage, Suella would be more or less finished.”
• “The Home Office destroys everybody. Let’s hope it destroys Suella in a few months.”
• “I wouldn’t be surprised if Sunak doesn’t surprise us at all, but plods on in a sensible way.”
