“If I may offer some words of advice to members opposite. On the government benches, life comes at you fast. Soon you might be fortunate enough to be tapped on the shoulder and offered a junior ministerial role. Then you’ll find yourself attending Cabinet. Then in the Cabinet. And then when the prime minister’s position becomes untenable, you might end up being called to the highest office,” Rishi Sunak says.
He continues, “And before you know it, you have a bright future behind you. And you are left wondering whether you can credibly be an elder statesman at the age of 44.”
