 Guardian commenters are discussing the best lines in Marina Hyde's latest article on Rishi Sunak.  Proposals include...

"The long-planned, hugely expensive London-to-Manchester HS2 line will go to neither London nor Manchester – a genuine feat of infrastructural dadaism that should receive some kind of global recognition."

"The net zero U-turn in particular suggests our spurned hero is at the stage of buying sulphuric acid and going to the country with the slogan “If I can’t have you, no one can.”"

And depressingly...

"It’s palliative politics, giving the tacit impression that the best the UK can be offered is a sort of end-of-country care."
