Not too Tory, a little bit Blair and a whole lot of brown: how Sunak's formula failed | Nesrine Malik
Briefly

Lowlights include multiple moments in which Sunak attempted to be a man of the people: failing to pay for fuel, failing to name a real McDonald's breakfast item, joking about his "tan", and a campaign video (with a Ray Winstone-meets-Danny Dyer voiceoverhailing Sunak as the underdog of some kind of action film) so removed from the grave moment the country finds itself in that it verges on sociopathic.
...
And that is exactly what Sunak has really been all along - not a competent technocrat doing his best in a chaotic Johnson government, but a man both propelled by, and then in the final hour utterly exposed by, his willingness to say whatever the deal team needs to say to fend off the competition.
