I just heard him talking on the radio.

Am I the only one who thinks he sounds quite like Keir Starmer?

Loving the Boris failure. Having him progress would have been absurd.

Glad Rishi is in, whatever the politics, it is a very significant moment for a community who - let's be honest - contribute a huge amount to this country.

The fact he is about to be appointed makes a very large, and very clear, positive statement about our society which the wider world will notice.

Also, the fact the gammons are discovering previously unexplored depths of the colour red is an added bonus.
If he had won a GE then i'd agree, but he didn't. He couldn't even get the support from his own party members.
I think that's because - like Lewis Hamilton - there are unspoken extra tests which the nutters apply to him. Tests which he can never pass.

His first address was absolutely superb, an absolute masterclass in reading off a teleprompter in a robotic manner
Perhaps it was due to the news outlet I watched it on, but he didn't appear to be looking at the camera?. that was a bit strange but again could just be because I saw the brief clip on youtube.
Compared to bumbling burbling Johnson's speeches, his speech was a model of clarity.
At least his family background shows what can be achieved, with some intelligence and hard work, Marrying a billionaire's daughter can't have dented his progress in life, but to being in the right place, at the right time, can only have come from his, and his families intelligence and hard work.

The only racism I've seen is from those on the left who don't consider him to be a "real" Asian.

I am intrigued to know how live news presentations (ITV) manage to fill hours of airtime with absolute fking drivel.

Starmer will have a field day reminding all & sundry about the out of touch, millionaire, ex banker PM on a weekly basis.
Starmer is also a millionaire; it would be a bit hypocritical.
A knighted millionaire living in a wealthy enclave of North London at that.

I think he's an awful choice

At school he was videoed saying he knows no working class folk. Recently as a few months back he's saying he's going to take money from deprived inner cities and give it to Tunbridge Wells

He has got no idea what it feels like to be thoroughly skint and just cannot relate. He gives me very little to zero confidence he will help those who need help most
Why do you have to have experienced something (like poverty) to be able to understand peoples’ problems?

Do you need to chop a leg off to understand the challenges of disabled people?

Do you need to offer up to be assaulted?

Do you need to have had time working in the NHS?

What about being in the forces too?

See how ridiculous that argument is?

Really? Seriously? Jerry from Lowestoft?

Alastair Campbell said he had joined some of the pro-Boris whatsapp groups over the weekend and raised concern about racism on those also. I am not sure deflecting this issue to the left is entire fair.

That's a bit subjective. Do you really think that somebody like JRM understands the life of a typical blue collar worker? Almost certainly not. It is completely fair criticism regarding Sunak that he hasn't got any blue collar life experience and therefore just like I cannot really understand what it is like to be a billionaire, he probably has limited understanding of a care worker's life in Teesside.

I like AC and the podcast but I'm sceptical of some of the things he says, he's (understandably) using the podcast to promote labour and negative on the Torries, he's very biased.

Quite how he joined (or was invited to join) such groups I'm very doubtful.

However I'm not doubting the potential for such content.

He's just back in Downing St after seeing the king.

This speech is probably the most important one of his whole career so far....

Sunak - "I'm here to fix the economic disaster."

I also would question it from him, but I expect it to be true even if he has not witnessed it. I can't believe that Jerry from Lowestoft is a one off.
