The remarkable thing about the election of Britain’s first non-white Prime Minister is how unremarkable, for most people, it has been, writes Nick Timothy.

American television hosts have invented public outrage that never occurred. Left-wing columnists have succumbed to racism themselves as they realise the party they revile as bigoted is in fact relaxed about being led by a British Indian.

Most voters, meanwhile, are keen only to know what Rishi Sunak can deliver.

The story tells us something we ought to understand, but often forget. Britain is not America, with its racialized culture wars, universities riven by critical race theory, and original sin of slavery and racism.

Neither, in this respect at least, are we like most other European countries, where it remains unimaginable that a non-white politician might become prime minister or president.
