Rishi Sunak

It really focuses the mind on the fact he rehired the home secretary a few days after she broke the ministerial code.


Also, the ministerial code applies to all MPs, so if Zahawi has breached it so badly,
He must resign and/or lose the whip.

Clearly he should resign or lose the whip. Actually he should be locked up like Lester Piggott was for an offence of similar magnitude.
To actually lose the whip though they need to be caught looking at tractor porn during a parliamentary debate.
 
It's an old cliché isn't it... Anyone who has the ambition to be prime minister is probably unfit for office.

A smarmy spineless waste of space who will achieve nothing of note besides being the 1st non-white PM.

Even Boris's clown circus and the roundabout under the Irish sea is more inspiring than the real life adult equivalent of a character who took a bag of his shitty clothes to the pub.

Two of the most important decisions he'll make will be, which lecturn he uses and what happens to it when he is gone.
 
Sunak takes a pop at Starmer during PMQs for not "standing up for the women in his Party"

He means Rosie Duffield.

Quoting her as saying that "being in his (Starmer's) Party had reminded her of being in an abusive relationship"

Sunak accused Starmer of sending out his lackeys to brief against her.

Duffield has been treated disgracefully. It's been reported a senior aide to Starmer said 'it would be nice' if Canterbury MP Rosie Duffield 'spent a bit more time' in her constituency, rather than 'hanging out with JK Rowling.

Duffield hit back by saying....

'One of the traits of being in an abusive relationship is "stonewalling". The abuser will go quiet for days on end. They will stew, not speak to you, turn their back on you.

'Trust me when I say I don't take this lightly: but what I feel now, after six years of being cold-shouldered by the Labour Party, conjures memories of how I felt in that abusive relationship. When I come home at night, I feel low-level trauma at my political isolation.'

Looks like misogyny is being spun by the Right just as anti-Semitism was, only this time the Tories have something to chew on because it's real.

Remember during the midst of deep Covid when a fair few were thinking Sunak was a potentially a decent political (I mean , those were rather strange days weren't they?).

I can't bear to look at him anymore. His refusals to answer questions and his obsession with Jeremy Corbyn in PM's Q's are trolling of a relatively high order.

His skirting of the issues, are of the grass type.

Who, Mr Potato Head? Reminds me of a spoilt little bastard who always got his own way, never being confronted for his views and has no understanding of ‘normal’ people.

Out in the real world he wouldn‘t have a chance, in his little world he is the King of all he surveys.
 
ha ha ha - not only Johnson but also Truss trying to make a comeback - if you are under threat from Bill and Ben you can only be weeeeeedddd

Whilst broadly agree. Do you think it’s possible nowadays for a PM to be liked ?
 
I don't read the 'newspapers' on a regular basis either, but that doesn't mean I'm not clued up about what is happening.

I have a peek now and then on the Daily Mail, but it's the comment section that amuses me the most, and I've tried in vain to rile them up for a few years now with what I've thought were provocative posts, but I have been quietly surprised by the responses. I'm not seeking likes, I post what I think about the state of the country today, but I have thousands more green arrows than red ones, not that I'm bothered about it.

Most of the UK press unashamedly support the far right opinions of the Tufton Street brigade, well presented articles that have an air of authority about them, but which are easily dismissed by informed individuals that anayse their findings and dismiss them in a calm and measured fashion as nothing more than hogwash.

I read an interesting report by some sort of society of historians recently, decrying the lack of factual information in most of the papers today, and the problems their editorial stance will present historians with in the future when trying to understand what is happening in the UK at the moment.

That is far into the future of course, but the only papers they regard as informed and realistic at the moment are the Financial Times and The Guardian.

The idea the Guardian is a balanced representation of the news will be anathema to many, but their assesment was those two papers were the only reliable sources of facts sadly lacking from the contrived rubbish printed in most of the media today.

'Newspapers' don't report the news these days, they try and influence opinion, and while that argument can be levelled at all the mainstream media, how many people last week read the report the government commisioned into the state of our school buildings that was presented to them , and is not being made public, which condemmened hundreds as being in a dangerous state likely to collapse?

The information is out there if you dig around, but the right wing media isn't interested in facts, and I have no problem with Sunak not bothering with reading the papers. There isn't any point, and his hands are full of trying, and failing, to appease all the factions of his party that are supported by, in the words of Michael Heseltine, nothing more than propoganda sheets for the extreme right wing.
