The Brits are having another Oxbridge-style debate about keeping nicotine away from children, with Sunak on the one side arguing that there’s nothing ‘unconservative’ about protecting children, while “former Prime Minister” (the title needs those quotes) Liz Truss on the other saying it’s Nanny State nonsense. This idea of ‘being conservative’ has morphed over time, but there are certain things that it retains, not least a belief in personal freedom. It’s laden with hypocrisy of course – not least that the current and “former” Prime Ministers, both Oxford graduates, are arguing about how the hoi polloi should behave.
