Rishi Sunak was claiming to be resident in the US while Chancellor of the Exchequer, while his wife was claiming non dom status to avoid paying tax. He was also hated by the supporters of the previous PM because he wielded the knife.

Also, the most popular candidate with the Conservative membership was Kemi Badenoch, who is black, but far more radical than Rishi Sunak, who was forced to defend Treasury orthodoxy.

I’m not convinced it has much to do with race.
