Sunak and the Tory Conference: Why has Rishi Sunak failed to learn the art of leadership?

The pre-election Conservative Party conference manages to be both noisy and subdued. The autumnal gloom has set in, there's a pervasive sense that defeat looms and that sense makes defeat more likely. It is true that Sunak inherited a nightmare, but why has he failed to rise to the challenge? All this from Steve Richards, plus more brilliant questions and notices for the Rock N Roll Politics co-operative.
