Mr Sunak’s snap election announcement last month was steeped in pathetic fallacy as the heavens opened as soon as he reached the lectern Downing Street and a protester at the gates started blaring New Labour’s theme tune, Things Can Only Get Better, on a huge sound system.

By the end of a long speech, the audience was deafened by the music and the Prime Minister was soaked and his suit ruined.

One eldest Tory described the moment as ‘a catastrophe’, adding: ‘The speech was disjointed and unfocused – and the images… he looked like he was drowning. After that we are really in a position where things can only get better.’

Insiders revealed the Prime Minister had shunned suggestions he could make the announcement from inside the house. “He wanted to go out and talk to the country,” one said, adding: “I think people will appreciate the determination it showed.”
