Why Rishi Sunak is perhaps the most socially conservative PM of his generation

After being portrayed as a Cameron-ite liberal, Sunak is now showing his true colours from trans rights to refugees

It was one of the many strange quirks of the summer Tory leadership contest: that Liz Truss captured the mantle of the true blue Conservative while Rishi Sunak found himself painted as a wet, Cameron-ite liberal.

But in the last five months of his premiership, that portrayal of Sunak has started to become laughable. He is perhaps the most socially conservative prime minister of his generation, more so than Truss, Boris Johnson or even Theresa May.
