It only took a few hours.

Rish! likes to present himself as a new breed of politician. The Goldman Sachs multi-millionaire who can be trusted to tell the truth. However uncomfortable that may be. The man with the golden voice. A saviour rising from the mean streets. But the reality is he's not so different from any other Tory leader. Party before country. Self before party. Always open to any grubby backroom deal if it works to his advantage.
