Tim Bale, Professor of Politics, is quoted in the Big Issue on the political impact of Rishi Sunak’s U-turns:
“He’s been moderating or mitigating some of the policies that previous prime ministers have gone with. I don’t think you could say that he is necessarily turning on anything that he himself has said,” Bale told the Big Issue.
“All prime ministers are accused by their opponents of U-turning, because politics is a messy, uncertain business and sometimes you do have to change your mind, embarrassing as it is.”
