Rishi’s task
RISHI Sunak is decent, competent, hard-working and fiercely bright.
But our new PM’s task is mountainous.
Even uniting his party could be tough, with a few angry MPs demanding a suicidal snap election and some Tory members accusing him of “betraying” Boris.
His biggest challenge is to shepherd us through this dire economic crisis as millions are hammered by soaring bills.
Labour, led by multi-millionaire Sir Keir Starmer, will claim Rishi is out of touch.
They will say he has no mandate, either, though it didn’t bother them when Gordon Brown was gifted power.

But Rishi truly understands the economy. That should prove crucial.
He must promote the very best talent and begin persuading voters his party is back under stable, sound management.
We don’t know if that can prevent election defeat to a Labour Party currently 30 points ahead after months of Tory chaos.
But Labour is still wedded to woke idiocy and militant unionism. It is full of Remainers itching to rejoin the EU — plus a legion of Marxist cranks.

Sun readers crave a competent, unified Government not driven by fashionable ideology and focussed on core issues like living costs and immigration.
Take that to heart, Rishi. And good luck.
Glee BC
SO many at BBC news either cannot grasp “impartiality” or simply disagree with it.
When presenter Martine Croxall asked, on camera, if she was “allowed to be this gleeful” about Boris ending his leadership bid she should have known the answer was no. But on she went.
It felt safe. All at the Beeb share her view. Millions, forced to fund it, don’t.
The BBC rightly took Croxall off air.
But correcting all that ingrained bias looks harder than holding back the tide.
Morons’ cult
AS if to prove their stupidity, Just Stop Oil’s morons deface a waxwork King Charles.
Yes, perhaps the world’s foremost green champion.
A man warning of eco disaster decades before they were born.
This group’s bone-headed stunts are now so counter-productive we can only conclude they are even less interested in changing minds than they are in facts.
They are a fashion statement-cum-doomsday cult for the tragically gullible.
Watson shame
KEIR Starmer’s excuses for making Tom Watson a peer are transparent rubbish.
He hails the disgraced Labour veteran’s “lifetime of contribution” to Britain.

In fact he is chiefly notable for promoting the “sex abuse” lies of a convicted paedophile which destroyed innocent men who just happened to be Tories.
Watson was ruled unfit for the Lords two years ago. Nothing has changed.
