Today provided some insight into what a Rishi Sunak premiership would entail.
The man who had just taken over at No. 10 appeared confident, relaxed, and ready for the challenges that lay ahead.
Labour clearly think his vast personal wealth will put off voters, but the criticism couldn’t wipe the smiles from most Conservative faces.
Desperate to put the past few weeks behind them, a majority of Tory MPs clearly feel they’ve got the unity candidate they need to begin the recovery.
But there was also a hint of some of the obstacles he will face.
Firstly, his newly appointed home secretary is already giving him a bit of a headache, with Labour calling for an inquiry into Suella Braverman’s recent security breach.
Other issues will be his lack of mandate, the party’s tricky fracking policy, and, of course, the partygate inquiry which the opposition will try to drag him into.
But so far he hasn’t stumbled.
And although it was a low bar, he’s delivering on his promise to bring the party together and provide competent and professional leadership.
Labour will be a little worried.
