But I think there is a basic standard of competence and decency that is required of senior politicians. Teresa May had it, as much as I dislike him generally Cameron had it.
Sunak also got fined and in another political age maybe he would be out of the running for this job but that isn't this time. Thankfully for him, he is against Boris Johnson who didn't just get fined but lied time and time again about it, tried to change the rules to get his mate off a lobbying charge and then ignored allegations of sexual harassment even giving a job to the accused and once again lied about it when called on it.
Time and time again Johnson thinks rules don't apply to him and seems to like brazenly and repeatedly even about trivial things. Right now all the press is excitedly reporting about him returning home from his holiday but why was he on holiday? Parliament was in recess all summer and then again for party conference season. He still has a job.
There is a point when you have to say enough. Sunak is a Leaver who believes in a small state. I really hope he loses an election. But between him and Johnson I think it has to be Sunak because he clears the bar of being a better moral character than Johnson.

Sunak also lied.
