yeah i can see what’s happened here, rishi has been forced to say “fuck it” and align with one of the factions.

if you have a choice of a faction to align with, you should pick the one that is closer to the center of the overton window, to maximize future vote gain under FPTP.

if suella didn’t force her own sacking to then try and force a no-confidence vote to seize leadership (or otherwise secure cabinet control for the NatC faction), then… why did she write that opinion piece otherwise? she didn’t have to write it.
