My Take
Rishi Sunak reads to me like a case study in accelerated ambition: Southampton roots, Stanford, high finance, then a near-vertical climb to become Britain's first prime minister of Asian heritage. What I respect is the timing—he took the job in 2022 when the country was in turmoil and the position looked like a poisoned chalice. His premiership was short and ended in electoral defeat, but I suspect history will be kinder to the technocrats who steadied the ship than to those who rocked it. A numbers man in a profession of storytellers, he fascinates me precisely because he never quite learned to perform. His second act is not written yet.
Overview
