Sunak was cornered briefly on Monday by a BBC journalist who somehow slipped the sphincter of steel that usually protects the prime minister from questions and allows him to pretend that he is a great politician, his confidence untested by collision with anyone able to dissipate the sickening cheddar-thick smog of inane soundbite farts that perpetually surrounds him. Inevitably, Sunak tried to sunak his way out of an inquiry into whether he had personally flown to Scotland in his private jet by answering a question that hadn’t been asked, with some typical sunakery about people going on holiday. “If you or others think that the answer to climate change is getting people to ban everything that they’re doing,” Sunak sunaked, “to stop people flying, to stop people going on holiday, I mean, I think that’s absolutely the wrong approach.”
