Rishi Sunak - Prime Minister

[pingu393]

GB News are saying that Farage has kicked the guy out and he deplores the comments, yet all the videos show Farage claiming he was an actor and it was a set up.

£8k stake to win just over £1k doesn’t shout good judgement to me, even without the potential rule breaking.

If I told my investors they would get £1m for £8m invested with high risk they would be laughing for weeks.

Bit simplistic. Whether a 12.5% ROI within a few weeks is good or bad depends on the implied odds. The arbitrage opportunity dramatically increases with inside knowledge, of course, but it's often present to some extent for myriad reasons.

Well done to Sunak for angrily and honestly stating how he feels. Abhorrent behaviour. I do, however, wonder if the donations he has accepted from Hester go some way to ease the nagging feeling of hypocrisy that surely must accompany this rare glimpse of the real Rishi?

You do make a good point

I genuinely do mean well done to him. Sometimes it takes something as dreadful as this to happen to yourself to enable you to see things through the eyes of others who have similarly suffered. I wonder how he feels about Boris' many and varied comversational and written flirtations with racist language if not, arguably, intent?

I'd like to think so.

There's absolutely no excuse for that sort of filth but it does make me wonder whether it might cause him to reflect on his first instinct in how he responded to Hesters comments and his inability (and that of his supporters) to call out Johnson's own racist language.

Crocodile tears. His whole Rwanda policy is racist.

Both can be true...

[bitchstewie]

Dowden on LBC right now being made to look a right muppet about the difference in Hester and Farage's candidates language.

Nobody should be on the end of that filth but talk about how to make a hole for yourself in how you've handled your own parties issues.

A lot of people will see this and think err no
But they will be WRONG

Rishi Sunak: I’ll still be Prime Minister on Friday

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/prime-min...

Unlike others who post the most ridiculous stuff and spend half their screen time slagging off posters they hate I am a beacon of truth and honesty.
Rishi is being honest
There is NOTHING that will stop him being Prime Minister at 12.01 am Friday morning.
More than likely he will be Prime Minister until mid/late morning/ early afternoon.
In fact he will still be PM as his car goes into Buckingham Palace or wherever the King is seeing him

So you see you have to look for honesty in these things and what he is saying is actually true

If you hadn't posted the explanation, I would have.

Similar to lies, damn lies, and statistics .

It's about all that we expect from him these days - grasping at technicalities. Another key example from the campaign being the announcement that he's brought the inflation *rate* down. Yes, the rate is down, but we're still stuck with the inflated prices and they're still inflating.

It fits with my understanding of the situation.

It would be beyond anyone, not just him. There is no way he could sort it in two years, and there's no way that the public would give the Tories any more time. The analogy of the builders and the never-finished kitchen is spot on. It doesn't matter if the latest guy is Michaelangelo, too much damage had already been done.

Couple of polls this morning showing small deviations back towards the Conservatives. Probably not unexpected, definitely too little to change anything.

The BJ effect ? There are still quite a few buffoon lovers for some insane reason. Then there are some that swallow the fear mongering which the Tories have ramped up this week.
