Right narrative
The country is now in safe hands. Sunak has proved his capacity as Chancellor and will bring to the office of Prime Minister exactly what the UK needs: a moderate, competent, and cogent government. Tory MPs have made a wise decision by selecting a leader with political maturity, and the ability to learn and change. Sunak is the person to mend the economy and the reputation of the Conservative Party.
Left narrative
Generations of Conservative MPs have set the UK economy up for failure and brought the British political system to its knees. Since the Brexit referendum divided the nation in 2016, a succession of incompetent leaders plunged Westminster into chaos to the cost of the British people. Yet again, the Tories have elected a leader behind closed doors and, if Sunak fails to fulfill his pledges, there will be no way of holding him accountable.
