Sunak not to be welcomed by applauding supporters as he enters Downing Street

It is traditional for the new prime minister to be greeted by a throng of applauding advisers and MPs as they walk along Downing Street for the first time as PM.

But one of Rishi Sunak’s close allies, Mel Stride, texted MPs to say this will not be happening today.

The new PM apparently wants to avoid a celebratory tone.

The fact Mel Stride has sent this email suggests he may be destined to be Mr Sunak’s chief whip, in charge of parliamentary discipline.
