Rishi Sunak surprises everybody - he is even capable of a surprise!
Cameron is back in, Braverman is back out.
Sunak wants to be the candidate for change?
Look at Cameron's track record and weep. But could his return be a really smart move by Sunak? Or will it merely invite the right-wing nut-jobs to try and defenestrate him?
Just when there was a chance for UK politics to become boringly predictable!

One point consistently overlooked by the wilder proponents of this idea- never mind the Windsor Agreement, the ECHR is baked into the GFA: https://eachother.org.uk/good-friday-agreement-echr/ and https://ukhumanrightsblog.com/2023/08/29/the-good-friday-agreement-and-the-european-convention-on-human-rights/; https://davidallengreen.com/2022/08/how-the-good-friday-agreement-restricts-what-the-united-kingdom-government-can-do-with-the-echr/
if the UK pulls out of the ECHR, they will find that this creates <under-stated remark> *difficulties* with the guarantors and brokers of the agreement. I don't see it happening, tbh.
Refusing to think about Ireland/Northern Ireland led to the backstop, and the Windsor agreement.
I am reminded of this piece: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46528952 - I may never stop laughing.
We are in an interdependent world, where no island is an island!
