Summary
Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee argues that the new UK Prime Minister (taking office on July 20, the start of school summer holidays) faces a cascade of crises — from child poverty and hunger to sleaze in government — and that success or failure will hinge on the decisions made in the first 100 days. The piece warns that millions of children face a lonely, isolated summer with no support, while the new PM must also tackle corruption and restore trust in politics.
