OPINION - Rishi Sunak has been in last-ditch campaign mode for so long — a General Election is logical

Rishi Sunak’s very first move as Prime Minister was to baffle. Why had this sensible technocrat appointed a loon like Suella Braverman? Many baffling moments followed — Rwanda, the war on woke, tax cuts that ran in the face of everything he had stood for as chancellor. So a snap decision to call a summer election — hauling Lord Cameron back from Albania, catching most of his party on the hop, getting caught in the rain — fits the pattern. It has baffled us all.
