β€œPeace of mind” is Rishi Sunak’s new pitch to voters. β€œStick with the plan”. Slightly different tone to his Tory conference pitch about β€œchange” and ripping up the status quo

A true visionary, even if you didn’t like his vision, and great company. He also loved sparring with Boris Johnson in the Brussels press room.
