Rishi Sunak is stuck with a dreadful political narrative

week after the summer holidays can be tricky. Everyone is overexcited; they get noisy; they shout. Much to the distress of the speaker of the House of Commons. “Calm down,” shouted Sir Lindsay Hoyle during prime minister’s questions on September 6th. “I understand that people are excited to be back at school. But I expect better behaviour.” The class ignored him; Sir Lindsay got crosser.

The new political term has begun over-excitably because in many schools the new educational term has hardly begun at all., that might make them unsafe. Most of these are closed, at least partially. This is bad for pupils and for parents . Above all, it is bad for Rishi Sunak, who had hoped to get voters feeling more upbeat.s unscathed. But he knows that is not enough: for he needs a change of narrative.

The language of the concrete debate has frequently been of the sort that would see you sent to the head. Earlier, the education secretary, Gillian Keegan, had been caught saying “fucking” and “arse” on camera. She later apologised. Her classmates, however, clearly spotted a fun game and—with the sort of oracy that Sir Keir admires—started to demonstrate their skill with synonyms.
