I wonder if Sunak has remembered - Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

'Sacked' for 'breaking the ministerial code', sure.

Should be done under oath with stiff hail penalties for any wrong answers and even stiffer for not answering (evading) etc.

Also most Home Secretaries fail at the job so never become PM. Mrs May didn't because she was mostly silent.

Yep - we have the same chancellor.

I don't think Keir and Rishi will be putting on the silly fireworks in PMQs for instance, party leaders who actually have some basic respect for each other is not something we've had for a while.

I (would like to) think we'll have a bit of a calmer time and this will mark an end to the total nonsense that's been around since BJ was forced out. Rishi seems a bit less of a performer than BJ/Truss and arguably we're now where we 'should' have been after the first leadership contest. So I'm slightly cautiously optimistic he can do reasonable job of getting us to the GE for a reasonably contested election instead of a walk-over.

Change of rules, they don't need general elections any more, each Tory PM will get 5 years, or as long as they want.
