This is almost as bad a situation after the May general election, when we had a Brexit mandate but no one wanted to do it.

Sunak can do nothing, he’s the PM no one wanted, he helped cause the current economic crisis, he has no connection with the electorate.

In the words of David Steele. Starmer, go back to your constituencies, and prepare for government.
I'm no fan of Sunak and agree he has little connection with most of the electorate and the next election is Starmer's to lose.

But the current crisis was caused by Truss and her former Chancellor Kwarteng. Sunak, like many, warned that Truss's over-borrowing would spook the markets. He wasn't wrong.
