Rishi Sunak is now pushing for consensus, negotiation and compromise on the world stage. He will get much love there and likely spend more time on it, but world leaders have no say in British elections and he has a fight on his hands.
For the last seven years and three prime ministers, Britain has pursued a diplomatic policy based on confrontation rather than cooperation.
This will be seen as a welcome gesture by the diplomatic community; and is not a sentence that Boris Johnson, Liz Truss or even Theresa May could have ever credibly said.Sunak is pitching his appeal as a rejection of those that came before him. Now compromise is the watchword, and the automatic question will be whether Britain is settling for too low a price.
For this and more promises of cooperation, Sunak is willing to pay almost £500m over the next three years, when the total cumulative bill over the last nine years was just over £250m.
