Rich Rishi Sunak's luck final running out?

[Yossarian]

Sunak:

* Becomes Chancellor by dafault when Sajid Javid, having been in the job only a few months, resigned because he refused to have his staff report to Dominic Cummings (a mere advisor to Johnson) instead of him.

* Becomes popular by dishing out £hundreds of billions of free money during the pandemic. A lot of it to friends of the Tory MP's who had set up fake companies to win big govt contracts which never delivered.

* Loses the Tory Party election to Liz Truss, who has a mental breakdown with a disastrous mini budget.

* But then is handed the Premiership by the Tory MP's cause they didn't fully trust the wider Tory Party members who had failed to elect Sunak only a few months previously. (Being the richest person in Parliament, (House of Commons and House of Lords) may have had something to do with it).

* It turns out Boris had enough backers to force a vote by the wider Tory Party members (who would have reelected Boris since they wer unhappy he had been kicked out by the Tory MP's in the first place). But for some reasons, at the last minute he decided not to stand. So Sunak becomes PM having never won an election.

BUT

All those £billions of freebies handed out are coming back to bite him in the backside, along with the effects of Brexit starting to show add further downward pressures on the economy.

The economy is a MESS.


Here's a list of strikes planned for the busy festive period.

Time has run out on the UK cheap credit fuelled economic model, a domino set off by Gordon Brown in 08-09, and then religiously perpetrated by following Tory governments. Irrespective of who the PM is there's no running away from this mess!

The foundations of this economy isn't based on industry, trade, service sectors etc... but an echelon of London centric financial institutions who reap the rewards of money printing, near zero interest rates, credit addicted populace, cheap labour and inflating asset prices.

Real inflation has been hidden by skewed stats for years while people's lives keep getting poorer in real terms. Until they can't hide it anymore and people can't take it anymore.

Resurrect churchill back from his grave, even he won't be able to save this collective of self centered Tory backstabbers!

The UK desperately needs an election and an economic reset!

Well it's approaching the time when the UK is due a new Prime Minister anyway?

Who's next in line?

Probably Boris again. The thinking is that reason he didn't in the end put his hat in the ring at the final minute (he had the backing of enough MP's as well as the wider Tory Party membership) was so that he knew the mess was coming, so decided 'let Rishi take the s**t ".

After all he's partly responsible for the freebie £hundreds of billions give aways. And then the Tories will be begging Boris to come back. Call him what you like, a liar, cheat, ....etc, but for the Tories he's a vote winner.

Boris still has the know how to fool the redneck 'Red Wall' Brexit backing morons to vote for him. The Tory backing pensioners in the Shires never deserted him in the first place.

So don't bet against Boris coming back - the Tories can't go into an election with Sunak and his "non Dom" billionaire wife still in no.10

Boris withdrew because he didn't have the backing, this was mentioned on multiple news sources as well. How did you come up with the theory that he had the backing, any evidence?

Agree. Boris is an astute Politician, he did the same just after Brexit. He was on the verge of becoming PM, then decided it was best for May to take the s**t. The rest is history.

Behind the dumbo act he is an exceptionally shrewd man.

I think he had enough support but it wasn't the right type of support ( i.e the big names in the party).

He would have won if it went to the members but I reckon he was politely told to step aside for the sake of the party as if he won the big names would have had the carpet pulled from under them.

The man has pretty much done it all politically and has also lived a life of 'pleasure' with a number of kids from different women - I dont think he is suited to living quietly and accepting a role in the shadows, nor is he suited to changing nappies with Carrie. He will need something to motivate him in life and I think will make another run for the top seat again.

If a poll was conducted I think the public will view him more favourably than they do Sunak, Truss and even Starmer.

The PM or party in power is now irrelevant in British politics.

The nation has so much debt, along with the foolishness of policies towards Russia, its headed for a huge economic crash in the years to come.

Take your money out of your bank and invest in hard assets, or one day you will wake up with nothing.

I agree with the Boris analysis about him being a shrewd operator.

I also think give credit to Sunak. He realises he will never win a general election, for many reasons like his ethnicity, his wealth etc. So he's thought to himself sure the economy is in toruble but I might as well enjoy the ride and be an MP-selected PM for two years - have the experience of a lifetime, and he'll always have this on his resume.

Come the next election, Rishi will ride off into the sunset knowing he has zero chance of being re-elected. Boris will return in 2024 and go toe to toe with Starmer.

Agree, albeit non UK related hard assets one might add. A price correction in the UK is just round the corner.

He knows he is unelectable when the elections come. He is making the best of his time now.

Richi Sunak whilst visiting a homeless centre, asks a homeless man if he works in finance

Rishi Sunak today went to a homeless centre (for homeless people who sleep on the streets, even now in the middle of winter, because they have nowhere else to go)

Sunak had a go at serving food to homeless people who come in for some free hot food.

As Sunak served food through a serving hatch to a man, Sunak asks him “Do you work in business?”,

The man, called Dean, replies: “No, I’m homeless. I’m actually a homeless person.”

Dean asked Sunak : “Are you sorting the economy out?”

Dean then said he was interested in business, prompting Mr Sunak to ask him what kind of business.

When Dean replied finance, the Prime Minister said: “I used to work in finance, actually.”

Mr Sunak then asked: “Is that something you’d like to get into?”

“Yeah I wouldn’t mind. But, I don’t know, I’d like to get through Christmas first,” the homeless man said.

Mr Sunak asked: “What’s your plan, what are you doing this weekend?”

Dean replied that he was hoping the homeless charity St Mungo’s could help him get into temporary accommodation “so I’m not on the street”.

Watch the video. See for yourself.

Dean: are you sorting the economy out

Sunak: well that's exactly what I'm trying to do, exactly what I'm trying to do. do you work in business.

I can't understand the next bit but Dean says something like he is studying and hopes to get his own business.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Was this a staged actor that Sunak went off piste?

 

[Sidilicious]

Well it's approaching the time when the UK is due a new Prime Minister anyway?

Who's next in line?

IF the Tories decide to change the PM, it will have to be an election now. The poll ratings are ridiculous now, and no way can they get away with another PM who was not directly elected by the people.

 

[Sidilicious]

Probably Boris again. The thinking is that reason he didn't in the end put his hat in the ring at the final minute (he had the backing of enough MP's as well as the wider Tory Party membership) was so that he knew the mess was coming, so decided 'let Rishi take the s**t ".

The tories are past it now. There is no way they are getting elected, with or without Boris. The only way Labour don't win a clear majority is if Starmer messes up big time.

Even if Boris comes back, there is enough ammunition against him, that further news and leaked reports will come out one after the other to put the Tories even further behind. This is why the senior Tory leaders have asked Boris to quietly step back rather than make a fool of himself and the party.

The Tories clearly have a plan now - Make the most of the next 2 years and give the economy to Starmer in tatters, so that Labour have a tough time rebuilding it and are not able to improve NHS and undo the damage of Brexit. Then Sun/Daily mail put all the failures on Labour, so that Tories can sail back into power in 2029 and finish the job of dismantling the NHS.

The only (or 2) fly in the ointment is whether they are capable of lasting two years and the impact of far right ie Reform party. If Reform party are to put candidates, no way are the ex-labour voters in the red wall voting for Tories. They only voted for Tories in 2019 because of Brexit and because Reform pulled out. Had reform candidates stood in those seats, a lot of Tory votes would have gone to reform and the Tories would not have gained a majority.

The way I look at it is that the UK is on the crossroads of either going further far right and be classified as a nut job nation, or becoming a sensible leader in Europe again. And this will be decided over a period of 7 years. Firstly, in the 2024 elections, and then again the result of 2029 elections. If Labour do not win the power back in 2029, then the country would have gone further right and there might be no coming back for another 2-3 decades.

Selective quoting 3 lines from the middle, and leaving the parts where Sunak thinks men who live on street and come looking for free food in a homeless centre, work in finance, in order to make Sunak look genuine.

Or did Sunak think he was at a business conference serving food to a scruffy looking banking executive?

I just watched the video you posted and noticed you changed what actually happened.

Personally I don't care what Sunak does or does not do.

I changed nothing. Other than putting the quoted parts in bold. They were taken from a respectable media website.I just forgot to add the link to it.
