But a poor proposition. Either way

One is less awful than the other, and it’s a choice of one or the other. On that basis alone, Sunak is the one.
There simply isn’t going to be a general election unless the parliamentary conservatives become unmanageable. The polls guarantee a wipeout. The only sensible course of action if you’re a Tory is to choose the most stabilising leader on offer and hope that something comes up by 2024 that makes that wipeout less likely. That more than 70 Tory MPs don’t seem able to see that is sobering but there are encouraging signs this evening that Sunak and BoJo are going to sew it up so no contest is required.
If Sunak has any sense he’ll offer Boris the foreign office and encourage him to spend as much time as possible in Kyiv.
