Rishi Sunak

[Oohvonkyvonky]

I'm not sure Rishi Sunak (valued at £629m apparently) or a party that many claim are too full of rich people are REALLY that arsed about 7 months of a £91k a year salary in London.

I think they would be arsed with losing the privileges, salary, favours and other benefits that come with being in the position though. So I think a fair point!

Sunak and his cabinet might not be arsed about the salary but I bet a lot of their back-benchers are. Particularly those likely to be on the dole after an election. It's a further 7 months to polish their CVs as well as to collect salary and favours.

They will quite happily keep taking their ministerial salaries for another 7 months. I mean, why wouldn't they squeeze every last drop out of being in office? A sense of honour, integrity, or maybe strategic guile, you say? Yeah... no, I don't think these are qualities that this lot possesses.

I think it’s more about the buzz and trappings of being in power rather than the money for the multimillionaires in charge.

Rishi Sunak says he's 'disappointed' by shock mayoral defeat

Labour claimed a shock victory in the West Midlands mayoral elections, beating the popular Tory mayor - in a move a jubilant Kier Starmer hailed as a 'phenomenal result'.

does anyone else think the Tory candidate for London mayor looks like that woman in red from the video from Sunderland where the guy with the porn movie tache says “they’ve scored?”

I think she looks like Starmer with a wig and slightly different glasses actually.

That's a challenging wank.

To clarify, I’m not saying they’ll continue to pick up their salaries because they need the money. Here I’m just using “picking up a salary” as another way of saying “staying in the job” - which they would want to do for the reasons west didsblue states.

he plainly manages it

Starmer should call his bluff and tell him labour will lose the general election because the Conservatives won the mayor vote so now would be a good time to call it.

Or a journalist could have suggested that to him...
