Get the political cliché klaxon ready – Rishi Sunak has invoked the so-called “will of the people” as he boosts his Rwanda rhetoric. Does he have any idea what the public actually wants? And why is he so desperately upping his populist-but-not-very-popular messaging? Plus, as attacks on Starmer get increasingly desperate – should anyone care about mud-slinging from the tabloids? Ros Taylor is joined by Hannah Fearn and Times columnist Hugo Rifkind.
• “When he has seen the will of the people he’s chosen to ignore it. It’s a strange choice of words.” – Hannah Fearn
• “It’s easy to say he’s not very good at being Prime Minister, but it’s worse than that. He’s not very good at being Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. He’s literally someone who started a job and doesn’t know how to do it.” – Hugo Rifkind
• “Sunak sort of exudes weakness.” – Hugo Rifkind
• “Sunak is seen as useless and out of touch – both worse than boring.” – Hannah Fearn
