What will Rishi Sunak’s legacy be?29 Apr 2023 14:06
If he isn’t destined to spend long at No 10, Sunak may at least be able to say he began cleaning up the mess left by Boris Johnson. After his protocol deal success, the PM is eyeing a new agreement with the EU on travel to ease some of Britain’s border blues. The Tory leader is thought to be keen for Brussels to let British passengers use e-gates at airports. It wouldn’t be enough to stop the intermittent chaos at Dover, where passports inspections and looming biometric requirements would remain in place. Sunak has yet to charm business bosses, despite being an obvious upgrade on Boris “f*** business” Johnson. The PM endured a highly-awkward moment with industry leaders this week, when Burberry’s chief executive grilled him on Brexit “friction”. As for Boris, it emerged this week he didn’t have clue how Brexit was going to work. “Oh s***, we’ve got no plan,” he said after the result of the 2016 referendum, according to a new biography. Can’t say you’re surprised, can you?
