As I arrived in Downing Street to interview the prime minister earlier this week, his aides were whispering about some mysterious last minute “artwork” that was yet to appear.
When Rishi Sunak walked into the room, a hitherto blank screen flashed with a multi-coloured line chart pointing downwards with the words “Inflation. Halved”.
Mr Sunak and his team are going to great effort to project a turnaround in the UK economy. In a wide-ranging interview on the economy, he spoke of turning points and bounceback, and insisted it’s “not just me” who saw green shoots of recovery up and down the country.

“2024 will prove to be a bounce back year for the UK economy.”
While his political position means the PM has no other choice than to say he expects a thumping economic recovery, I was somewhat taken aback by the extent of his sunny optimism.
This buoyancy comes against a backdrop of consistently dire opinion polls for both Mr Sunak and the Conservative party, and the rapidly approaching local elections in England on 2 May.
But the prime minister’s eyes are focused on three other dates that month.
