Rishi Sunak

[bluethrunthru]

The blokes already sorted his escape route to America ......why does anyone think he'll be acting in the interests of the population of the UK?

By handing back his Green Card? I am pretty sure he will act in the interests of his Party, its donors, its voters in that order which is the job of any Tory PM. If he quits/leaves I am pretty sure he, his wife and family have enough cash, business interests and opportunities to flit to wherever he would want to.

I'd say so considering Penny can't even add up to 100

56.5% and 44.5% would give those figures but someone should have checked it didn’t then look silly

It’s funny how the bar has been set so low that “not certifiably insane and likely to completely nose dive our economy into the third world” is all we now ask of our prime minister.

Having said that I thought Sunak did his best during covid, which can’t be said for a lot of them - Johnson, Hancock and the like.

He’s the only one that gives me any hope that the good ship U.K. can be steered away from the iceberg Boris and Liz were desperate to ram at full speed.

The markets like him as well so that’s usually a decent barometer of how business believes he may do.

All PM's have skeletons in the closet and all will be hammered by the opposition and press

at present Sunak is really what we need

already forecast interest rates have dropped massively

if he can restore some leadership and sensible policy's then it would be a welcome break not to have the circus that we've had these last few years

Of course, I want him and the Torys to lose the next election but think it's only fair to give the benefit of doubt and give him a chance which he should have had a few months ago

Why? The Tories have been in power for 12 years. He's been Chancellor for the majority of Boris Johnson's time in office, and only turned on Johnson because he thought he'd be able to take over.

Giving a new Tory leader the benefit of the doubt is the reason why we're now onto our fifth PM in under four years.

Also worth mentioning:



For a party that is so often described as being run by racist old white men, having 3 female PM’s and an Asian heritage PM before Labour has ever managed a non middle aged white male leader is some going.

Not a fan of him or Hint by any means but we do appear to have grown ups in charge at last. I suspect that Sunak might be better at reading the mood of the nation than Truss and Johnson although it would be hard to be worse

He was a good chancellor and made the most sweeping moves to ensure people didn’t go without during covid of any western leader with the furlough programme. He wasn’t exactly dealt an easy hand.

I’m just enormously glad the Tories seem to be going for someone that isn’t mental to take the reins. (Low bar as someone said)

A lot of people seem to say this because he was the one paying out furlough money?

Yet we now hear that he wanted to pay less for less time, but that the rest of the cabinet overruled him.

Agreed, Sunak is best for now but we still want a GE because I'm sure some MPs in that party will try to fuck it all up with the infighting
