Dunt is way too invested in Westminster drama. He's presumably in a very comfortable position, so the ability for him to wave away real problems like ecological decline or economic insecurity to instead waffle on about the nebulous moral character of the nation is deeply problematic.
Yes there's a moral vacuum, but Dunt is part of it too.
I think Chris Dillow said it best as the media being largely composed of 'poshcuntstalkshit' programming.

Have just read Ian Dunt’s thoughts on it
“We've spent a bit of time the last few days talking about Labour and the £28 billion pledge. Progressives feel disappointed by the party's lack of ambition. I share that disappointment. But at moments like this you realise that the election is about something larger than all that. It is about more than policies and public services and parties. It is at this stage, in a really rather unexpected way, about the moral character of the nation. Sunak seemed a fairly run-of-the-mill conservative when he came to power. It transpires that he is a moral vacuum. It is of the utmost importance that he be removed from power. His presence there stains us all.”
