Is Rishi Sunak off already?

It’s less than a week since he formally handed over the reins of power – but Rishi Sunak is wasting no time. On Wednesday, just five days after he formally resigned the leadership of the Conservative party, Sunak and his wife Akshata registered their latest venture on Companies House. The newly-incorporated ‘Office of Akshata Murty and Rishi Sunak Limited’ follows similar vehicles being set up by Sunak’s four Tory predecessors. David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss all established their own eponymous outlets shortly after leaving office.

Clearly Sunak, the Peloton-loving premier, is in something of a hurry. Cameron waited a month after quitting as an MP to set up an office while May, Johnson and Truss all took a month or more after handing over the leadership. But what is more curious about Sunak’s company is that under occupation he has registered ‘none’ – even though he very much remains the Right Honourable Member of Parliament for Richmond and Northallerton.
