Rishi Sunak has wasted his first 100 days as Prime Minister

Rishi Sunak has been Prime Minister for nearly 100 days – but what has Sunak done with his victory since moving into No. 10? Sadly, the answer is very little. Despite enjoying a healthy Commons majority inherited from Boris Johnson’s landslide election victory, no new legislation has been passed and dubious measures from the old regime, like the Online Safety Bill, have been retained. There has been plenty of talk – not least in the five-point plan unveiled in the PM’s first speech of the new year – but not much action.

Back in October when he became PM, Sunak pledged to lead a government with ‘integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level’. This implied a welcome change from the chaos and half-truths of the Boris Johnson regime. But simply being squeaky clean isn’t enough: Sunak needs to have an answer to the question of how he has used his time in office to do something.
