Can Rishi scare people into voting Tory?

The News Agents

If it had been a speech about defence, it might have made more sense. But Rishi Sunak had no new policy offerings in todays pronouncement - he warned of a scary future under Starmer - then started talking about football shirts, ozempic, civic duty, literacy, and optimism.

It was, in essence, an electioneering speech - criticising labour for blaming the Tories for the last 14 years.

Meanwhile his Common Sense Minister Esther McVey has gone to war on the office lanyard.

Later, will former lawyer and indeed felon Michael Cohen make or break Trump when he appears in court this week?
