![Radioactive Rishi Unstable PM loses energy by the hour](https://cdn.magzter.com/1588175106/1718841099/articles/uabJ9aIJ31718845634782/RADIOACTIVE-RISHI-UNSTABLE-PM-LOSES-ENERGY-BY-THE-HOUR.jpg)
Politically, however, you have to concede he is doing quite well for himself. Rishi Sunak is the opposite. He's a successful businessman who is now a drag on his political fortunes. He would have done better in this election had he simply stood in the rain that afternoon and announced: "I'm calling it - and it's tomorrow!" Alas, he didn't, and now his position depletes further with each passing day. Sunak is like an extremely unstable isotope, losing energy by the hour. The only way he'd poll high is with a Geiger counter.
Anyway, please don your fallout suits and proceed straight to the site of his LBC phone-in yesterday morning, guided by Nick Ferrari. You'll see a lot about Sunak promising to cut taxes now inflation has fallen to 2% and a caller telling him he was "a pound shop Nigel Farage". But it's largely just noise. Probably the most telling bit was when a chap rang up to talk to Sunak about his imminent resignation honours, and instead of remembering to say that he wasn't going to be doing any resignation honours for a while, the prime minister engaged thoughtfully with the "very interesting question" in a way that suggested he completely accepted its central premise.
