Asked for his opinion on the interview, Elton described Sunak’s performance as an “extraordinary Orwellian, meaningless, evasive word salad”. He said: “I sort of wanted to believe maybe he’s kind of a bit more decent, but it turns out he’s as much of a mendacious, narcissistic, sociopath as his previous boss.
