Rishi Sunak, Former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer - and now UK PM

[JaDed]

This is nothing to do with race and how the evil white man is holding the innocent brown guy down, the British Empire is over bro. This is simply a typical case of the super rich and powerful being greedy and sponging off the people beneath them.

When it comes to the Tories it’s not about colour, the lot of them are wet dogs and the filth always comes out eventually the higher you climb, these Indians felt they were no different, Boris has been ostracised in public to for his antics, it makes sense for him to give Rishi the low blow to eliminate one of the popular candidates to replace him if there was an internal leadership vote.

Rishi is guilty by default due to the power of disposition, his wife’s antics are a reflection of his behaviour to and in this case there was a massive conflict of interest, if she were innocent she wouldn’t agree to pay the tax, hopefully the back dated payments come through to

I already said he should resign and move to States, he has a green card as well, his services will be well served here, can open a financial firm.

Boris is the PM .. inspite of all his doings so we know whites can do as they wish in UK, and will remain so, but here a she is being targeted just for being his wife, she already is rich enough to not effin care about his political career and he is educated enough than to be a second fiddle to Boris.

If it’s illegal then they should already fire him and deport her, but i don’t see anywhere it being said it’s illegal.

It's definitely unethical but that's vogue nowadays

He has achieved very little for the British public in his career especially working people and his voting history has always been dubious, the guy is currently in a very thankless job and I find it hilarious how foreign people feel he is innocent and our our knight in shining armour who is better served elsewhere because he was doing such an amazing job already starving the population - this might be popular in India but not over here, Sunak has always been a bit of a rat and that wont ever change no matter he does.

Boris came to power due to his simple message to get Brexit done and extremely weak opposition. He has been under fire lately but Rishi wouldn’t be where he is if there was a conspiracy against this poor Indian fellow, he comes from the elite and the lot of them are greedy spongers who look at working people beneath them. More dirt ought to come out, this is just the beginning.

Because you have already passed judgement.

Also Indian origin, he wasn’t born in India, his wife though is the only point of concern , and this should be a lesson to all Indians immigrating to UK as that if this witch-hunt can happen to British Indians who aren’t even born in India what could had happen to them.

He is not a poor bloke I already said he is well accomplished and his wife is rich as well, there is no point being in that job.

But how is Rishi coming from Elite,being son of immigrant parents ? In that logic IK is actually from the elite.

I still want to know what is illegal and if there is something illegal land of law should had taken course, but judgement is already passed by everyone.

Why shouldn’t we, it is petty and ignorant to keep going on about his race when it isn’t popular to raise taxes overly at a time of record highs when it comes to the cost of living. It could be anyone in his shoes but why are foreign Indians defending him when they don’t know the impact of his actions to the British public? it is naive to assume he is not guilty by association with his wife who has already admitted to be a tax fraud by agreeing to pay what she stole - she is an Indian citizen who plans to return ‘home’ what a joke.

He has benefited from his wife’s wealth by association with her which makes him elite, just being an immigrant doesn’t mean you come from humble beginnings.

Indians will crawl on coal to come to the UK, that wont stop but I find it laughable if you think each one of them would have political ambitions most are used as offload for IT support or other jobs which they will be utilised for underpaid labour. And yeah, it should be a lesson that you can’t sponge of public money.

You guys look at it as a cricket match or something it’s not England v India nor is the empire period now, not any tool should get away with botching the country’s finances while their mrs pays 30k in tax for living here effectively for the foreseeable future while she sponges off the government, it’s not ethical. You feel sorry for this bloke but the guy already enjoys way too much support and you’re right in a place where Boris is leading us, Sunak is of the same moral Tory fibre which is why he has done well to reach this point.

 

[Rana]

Wow so she will pay the tax

These tories keep getting exposed for some kind of scam/fraud every month!

Where do you get your facts from? Faux news? Sunak relinquished his green card, he was batting for both sides.

Sunaks are snakes and have infested Downing street!

 

[Technics 1210]

These tories keep getting exposed for some kind of scam/fraud every month!

Do not be fooled by the serpentines!

Basically by agreeing to pay UK tax she has not agreed to renounce her non dom status. She's just voluntarily paying the tax, but importantly she will avoid paying inheritance tax of over £200 million if she is no longer a non dom and makes UK her home!

 

[in_cutter]

He's been very impressive as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Spoken well, with clarity and what a fine example he is as a British Asian.

Some are even speaking of him as a future Prime Minister.

Still impressed?

 

[cricketjoshila]

This was leaked by his own party, Boris is most likely behind it, Labour are in the opposition - they will not sit on their hands on something with like this. Nothing to do with race, Indians are treated a bit too well over here this is a class problem, if we don’t do anything now, more upper middle class Indians will bend the law to sponge off the government and think they can come over here and get away with it. His mrs isn’t planning to return home anytime soon especially with Sunak’s political ambitions who is guilty by the power of disposition for being associated with a tax cheat, Indians are defo near the top of the ladder in that regard you can say a big portion of their earnings are driven by scrounging, they have insulted the Brit Indians who work hard for their dough especially the working class.

Tax cheat? Bend rules? This is as per law. Laws and agreements that were there long before Sunak came.

His Father in law is worth $4.4bn. so his wife will be a very very rich person, right near the elite top any country she moves to, Sunsk's ambitions not withstanding m


Indians are top of the ladder in economic terms because they are that good, they are not sponging of the benefits from the UK taxpayers.

 

[cricketjoshila]

It's definitely unethical but that's vogue nowadays

Why its unethical? The India UK DTAT provides for this?

Indians are one of the highest FDI investors in UK and Indian companies are one of the largest employers in UK.Not to forget that Indian origin people are economically near the top. This separates them from the rest of the sub continental migrants. So don't worry about Indians and how much they get paid. Worry about those who are near the bottom and lick off the benefits.

lol Sunak doesn’t describe himself as Indian . Like most Indians in the Uk , they want be known ax British only , for some reason many are ashamed . His wife can do what she likes , she is Indian . But he can’t cry everyone should pay taxes more blah blah when his mrs hasn’t , when she could have chose to .

She’s ruined his chance of being PM , good news for the UK , the man Is nothing but a lapdog of big companies.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I don't think he should have to resign but it was awfully bad judgement and shows the lack of care the ruling class have for us plebs.

It has done his prime ministerial aspirations a lot of damage though, perhaps tainted him forever.

There's no free benefits in the UK because UK taxes you and has many stealth taxes , they also have vat on products

People assume everything is free including the NHS and some universal credit payments but they recoup much more from the person through taxes by hook or crook.

If pakistan had a similar tax system we wouldn't be running to the imf with a begging bowl.

VAT GST is on in most countries. UK is no exception.

But benefits are things you get because you cannot afford them and the taxpayers fund thise things for you.

My relatives in UK get taxed at 40 per cent plus i believe. So they pay those "stealth taxes" plus income taxes.

I am not concerned with Sunak or his chances to become a PM. I don't think i will take the opinion of a Pakistani on what people of Indian origin think about themselves.

His wife is an Indian and UK agreements with India provides for no double taxation. Right now the UK labour party is asking that those agreements be violated, because the husband of a Indian national is holding a political post.

Can you tell me which law has Akshata Murthy broken? If Labour party wants that UK withdraw from the India UK DTAT then they must say it. Indian government then can start taxing UK companies in India.

 

[oatmeal]

Its racist. Nothing else.

First they attacked her, saying infosys has offices in Russia.

Now she must pay taxes on her Indian income in UK, which she shouldn't have to as per the India UK DTAT.

Hope Indian government now starts taxing UK citizens and companies in India on their UK income, irrespective of the DTAT.

lol at racist. This is not the subcontinent where the ruling class gets a blank cheque from the media

Those in positions of power are mercilessly questioned , even unfairly so at times for minor indiscretions. Carrie Symonds has a number of damaging leaks about her every month. Boris got in trouble for a peerage to a russian oligarch.

Prince Andrew had to settle a case and was stripped of royal duties which involved him having sex with a 17 year old (The age of consent is 16 in the UK).

Sunak is a PM aspirant, his every move is scrutinised closely. and his wife using non dom status to avoid taxation by declaring she is not a permanent resident of the UK may not be career ending but it likely puts an end to his PM ambitions

 

[DeadlyVenom]

To be frank, you are a robot mate.

Politics isn't just about whats written in black and white. We have already seen you defend genocide trying to use your flawed interpretation of laws.

Those that hold public office must always act in the public interest and in a manner that can be digested by the general public.

Apart from you, nobody thinks this is an Indian issue, nor is it deliberate targetting of Indians.

It is a slap on the face for ordinary members of the public when the man responsible for one of our biggest cost of living crises is shacked up with someone deliberately dodging tax. He is a compromised individual who cannot practice what he preaches.

If can understand that to a robot its difficult to understand how this looks and feels, so dont try to hard or your circuits will get fried.

Sunak is ashamed of being Indian, but married into money because his father-in-law wanted a hook into British politics. Well, not only did he get hooked, but line and sinker too. To the extent, Sunak has refused to settle in India with his wife.

 

[Technics 1210]

Hats off to Boris, love him or loathe him he is a genius. Spring budget was an opportunity for the Tories to regain public confidence and instead Sunak the snake plunged Tories into further lows, while knowing his wife was evading tax and breaking domicile laws.

Priti Patel should deport Akshata!

Indians are used for cheap labour and dumped when there is little use of them, all you lot die to come over here for a reason, not because you are clever but due to being weasels wanting to sponge of the UK government. You’re not hard working people and your workers get paid like dogs at home, that’s why you want handouts from us and especially these rich elites who are low born filth in reality, think they are above the law - the devil is in the detail, as you say she is an Indian citizen, go back to where you come from or we will force you out, thanks to Brexit it wont be so easier to get here on the banana boat. There will be more dirt to come out.

I never liked Boris but am a big fan now

Akshata Murthy is not in any position of power in UK. She is not even a brit. Only third class politicians drag in family of their rivals who are not even connected to politics and in this case not even a citizen.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

A lesson for educated Indians trying to immigrate to UK on this forum - check the messages on this thread what British citizens think about you.

There is a lot of mindless point scoring on the forum.

Educated Indians ( and people of any nationality) are valued citizens of any country.

Don't let forum posts put you off.

What genocide?

1. Which office does Murthy hold in UK?

2. In UK, is the wife the husband's chattel and she must act according to her husband?

Sunak can be questioned grilled whatever, he is the chancellor, his wife is neither holding any public office, nor she is a brit, her income isnt in UK either.

Whatever tax benefits she took are as per law and as per agreements between India and UK.

Why was Sunak criticized for Infosys having business in Russia? Is Sunak running Infosys? Is infosys a uk company? Should Indian companies in India follow what UK says?

 

[Technics 1210]

Sunak ratings plunge below Kieth Starmer! Ouch!

 

[oatmeal]

Akshata Murthy is not in any position of power in UK. She is not even a brit. Only third class politicians drag in family of their rivals who are not even connected to politics and in this case not even a citizen.

She claimed non domicile status stating she is not a permanent resident in the UK. This is perhaps ok for a spouse of a MP, but its politically damaging to a PM aspirant.

That's why she end up paying the taxes because its not a large amount to her anyway.

 

[shaz619]

A lesson for educated Indians trying to immigrate to UK on this forum - check the messages on this thread what British citizens think about you.

They will try to do all they can to come here regardless, majority I have met / lived with don’t like the dire straits at home. These people are treated well, I’ve treated them well.

Those who try to be a bit funny like that far right extremist Indian will receive the appropriate responses, thinks he is more aware about ground realities in the UK then us, am shocked how this has turned into a race issue. The Sunaks or any one in his place would be treated accordingly, he is in a role where PR is a big thing and there is a small margin for error.

He is compromised and is acting in a manner that is not in the best interest of the British state.

He has acknowledged his mistake and his wife is now rightfully paying tax. You cant rant and rave all you like but they have accepted their error.

Once again, you are acting as if this is something to do with all Indian companies. This is an argument you have falsely constructed, so its best to leave you to argue with yourself on this matter.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Sunak ratings plunge below Kieth Starmer! Ouch!

Went from being potential PM to being the laughing stock of the nation.

I'll tell you what, Boris despite his oafish demeanour is a ruthless politician. Others will think twice about trying to stab the PM.

 

[shaz619]

Do you own RR? You dont abuse or use anyone. You are a small miniscule minority in UK who lag behind their Indian origin counterparts in education and finances and try to big themselves up on PP.

Thanks to God am doing more then well alhamdullilah, I know a thing or two about that place actually and this is the gods honest truth, Indians were the first to go you are used and abused. Btw Indian immigrants work for me, so much for them having surpassed all the other minorities, you should be careful bro or I will deal with them accordingly

 

[Technics 1210]

We’ve had the Moscow link, tax avoidance, breaking non-domicile laws - come on Boris and Gove we want more! Expose these snakes! These snakes plunged millions into suffering, now humiliate them and destroy their political aspirations!

 

[cricketjoshila]

Dont rules and agreements between UK and India allow her to do, what she did? If yes then why attack her?

Secondly, why attack Infosys for its business in The Russia? Infosys is under no obligation to obey UK laws?

The way UK media keeps referring to Murthy's father as billionaire father repeatedly, it seems they are trying to draw a comparison between him and Russian oligarchs.

Sunak is answerable for his actions to uk public. Murthy, Infosys are not.

I am alright, if British government doesn't whine if we tax UK companies and individuals in India in violation of our tax treaties.

I personally think Boris is some kind of evil genius. While the public mock him for his public facing ineptness; the real work is behind the scenes. I still remember when Gove stabbed him in the back for Tory leadership, and Gove’s career was all but destroyed - this before Boris was PM.

1. Fire him. Why drag his family and in laws who are not British.

2. His wife is paying tax under duress. Laws allow her to not pay taxes. Its good that Narayana Murthy is a simple man with no overt political affiliations, else violation of the DTAT by UK would have meant reciprocal taxes on UK entities in India.

Did i question Sunak regards to her in laws company? Or were it the British parties

Again you are saying things that cannot be verified. Just like KKWC and his big dialogues.

How you behave with your colleagues are governed by rules and laws of UK.

 

[oatmeal]

Dont rules and agreements between UK and India allow her to do, what she did? If yes then why attack her?

This has been explained to you multiple times in this thread but you keep repeating the same thing expecting a different answer.

A PM aspirant's wife claiming non Dom status will be politically damaging to him because she is both saving tax and claiming to not be a permanent resident in the UK. This week taxes and energy bills are going up and the optics are horrible for Sunak.

A lot of expenses claimed during the MP expenses scandal were legal as per the letter of the law but it was a very damaging scandal because people saw the huge amounts of tax payer money that was claimed. BoJo almost lost his PM post for cutting a cake at work with 30 people around him because it was at a time when covid restrictions were at place and that qualified as a party rather than a workplace gathering. This is how british politics has always been.

So she is legally right, but she should still pay money because he husband is a politician. Am i reading this right?

I have just one thing to say, its poor to drag a foreign national into the UK politics, when she has done nothing wrong legally.

Yes there are a lot of tax avoidance tactics that are legal as per the letter of the law but many politicians don't use them because the optics are bad and it opens them to attack from opponents. The standards become higher as you go up the power chain.

Both of you do realise that there is double tax avoidance treaty between India and UK so that entities and individuals are not taxed twice.

But Akshata will now have to pay taxes twice on her income, because her husband is a politician. Is it fair on her?

But Akshata will now have to pay taxes twice on her income, because her husband is a politician. Is it fair on her?

She is doing it not out of the goodness of her heart but to save the political career of her husband.

And it shouldn't have come to that. She shouldn't have been dragged into this politics. Its down right poor.

I'll tell you what, Boris despite his oafish demeanour is a ruthless politician. Others will think twice about trying to stab the PM.

He is a proven political survivor. Been at the top level of British politics and (later) international politics with extremely high visibility for nigh on two decades, and still going strong. Sometimes it seems that he is “better lucky than good” but when the door is ajar for him he has a knack of bursting through it.

Again you are saying things that cannot be verified. Just like KKWC and his big dialogues.

How you behave with your colleagues are governed by rules and laws of UK.

It’s all over local media outlets a simple google search will verify this information, the Indian employees were among the first to go, expendable really, they are utilised as and when we need and discarded when we like really

Off course they will be treated in line with the law, just like how mrs sunak has been so law abiding

This is nothing, Sunak delayed IR35 so that his father-in-law’s low skilled and low paid workers could benefit. Now IR35 is in full flow, there is a mass exodus of Indian workers who were effectively paid by Infosys in India as contractors, but were avoiding taxes in the UK. IR35 put a stop to this hence Indian IT workers bailing the UK. Truth is Indian workers from abroad were not only evading tax, but were living in houses up to 20 at a time to save even more money, this is a documented fact.

Couple this with a limit on Indian skilled worker immigration by the home office, it’s been a bumpy ride for Indian foreign workers. This is precisely why Modi was begging the UK to lift immigration limits on Indians.

A Whitehall inquiry has been launched into the leak of Rishi Sunak's wife's tax status after a week in which the chancellor's approval ratings have taken a significant hit.

Akshata Murty dramatically announced on Friday that she would pay UK taxes on her global income, adding in a statement that she didn't want the issue "to be a distraction for my husband".

The revelation that she was "non-domiciled" in the UK for tax purposes had seen the chancellor face allegations of hypocrisy given recent tax rises imposed by the Treasury.

Labour said his family had potentially saved tens of millions of pounds as a result of Ms Murty's arrangement.

Experts have estimated that Ms Murty, who remains an Indian citizen, has saved £20m as a result of not having to pay taxes on her shares in Infosys, an Indian IT company founded by her father.

Mr Sunak has seen his approval ratings fall in light of the reports, which came hot on the heels of a Spring Statement which saw critics accuse him of not doing enough to help families with the cost of living.

This morning, a new poll by Opinium shows his approval rating dropped by three points to 28% since late March. His disapproval rating has risen by eight points to 43% for a net approval rating of -15.

I think he has presented very well as the Chancellor, and has generally come across well and instilled confidence in the British public. That said, there is zero chance of him ever being PM in my opinion. It is one thing for the public to warm to him as a no 2, but would they feel the same way about him leading?

I said this in a previous thread, but he is more of a Robin to Bojo's Batman. A good sidekick, not a leader.

I said this even before I knew of his wife's background. I'm sure his boss will have been well aware of it.

 

[Technics 1210]

Sunak moves his family out of #11!

Rightly so; enemies of the state mustn't be anywhere near the heart of the government.

 

[Rana]

I could care less what nationality his wife is. What I do care about is the cheek she had to avoid paying the tax considering her net worth is in the billions without having to move an inch to earn it.

That too with the average household bill for gas and electricity raising up to 40% for everyone. The timing of this is so so bad for Sunak.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is the only big fish in Parliament getting away with nonsense like this.

Boris’s wife using party funds/taxpayer money to decorate 10 Downing Street!!

 

[irfan]

ha ha now we find that Sajid Javid also declared himself to be a non-dom for a good few years when he was a banker and before becoming a MP, again not good optics for a former Chancellor.

He was involved in dodgy schemes when he was with Deutsche Bank which resulted in him becoming a multi-millionaire, the bank was based in UK, he was born in UK etc yet he became a non-dom to avoid tax, HMRC should open an investigation into him to make sure he complied with all rules ie days residing in UK etc. Another Tory spiv!

Is Boris systematically taking down all his brown Ministers? Can't wait for the downfall of thick as mince, odious, Priti Patel!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It's really funny to read the papers today where they are actually producing architectural breakdowns of his home property in Kirkby Sigston, a grade II listed manor house in North Yorkshire. Swimming pool, tennis courts, private gym...all of it must be really suspicious for a national newspaper to be commenting.

Lovely property tbf

The powers that be want to change governments to labour . Tories have done their work . Time to switch to Starmer , and back again in a few years. Pretence democracy

Sunak now under pressure to reveal details of his private investments or ditch them altogether, amid warnings of possible conflicts of interest with his role as Chancellor.

(TG)

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

He'd be better off throwing a rock satr party at Wembley stadium if he wants to win a meaningless popularity contest in a small enclosure of England. Get out of our politics you fraud.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

The absolute cheek of this fraud attempting to become PM of England while his wife refused to give up her Indian passport while refusing to pay British taxes. This must be what Indian posters refer to as successful integration.

That witch will bring herself down - there is enough on her anyway. Boris just needs to chose the time when he’s had enough of her. They need a non white face to pass through a lot of controversial and borderline racist immigration laws and then her job is done

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Has the fraud resigned yet? No true Brit will vote for such a conniving fraud. Get out Rishi, and take your non dom wife with you. But pay your taxes and penalty fines before you go, thanks.

Her income is in India, so she shouldn't pay taxes in India? You do realise that India UK has a agreement to avoid double taxation. So all these agreements should be junked.

 

[Technics 1210]

Sunak should be investigated for corruption and illegal funding through his personal investments.

So glad his family are out of #11; the laundry bills were high enough.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Maybe she should be in India as well so she can be rejoined with her income. She can take her husband with her, he's never getting into no 10.

) Nailed it.

Though it does beg the question why she fled incredible India in the first place, only to live in the motherland to sponge the system.

 

[wasim-fan]

If I understood the story correctly, his wife is Indian citizen with Income from legacy business not in UK. But she has agreed to pay double tax again in UK for financial year 21-22, to kill the controversy. But why is this controversial in first place unless the income was concealed.

The income wasn't concealed, her status was. As a non-dom she has to spend more than 6 months out of UK each year, instead it was revealed she was shacked up at #11. So now she has to pay tax, or face deportation.

In either case she has torpedoed Sunak's chance of becoming PM.

All hail Boris for exposing these snakes.

Fake Pakistan flag is back again pleading on behalf of India.

Brits only mate. We don't want someone who parks their cash in India and holds onto their Indian citizenship. On your bike Rishi, or on the next plane to Mumbai if you want to keep your money there.

 

[Markhor]

India should also review its relationship with UK in the light of these attacks on a Indian citizen who has broken any laws.

Indian origin UK citizens must also see how the labour party is against Indians and Indian origin people.

So now you are speaking for all British Indians and are representing their interests. Let British Indians decide where their interests lie.

The issue is nothing to do with Sunak's Indian connections but a clear conflict of interest - how can a Finance Minister be in charge of reviewing the non-domicile tax laws when his own family stands to benefit from them ?

Although I accept there's political motivations - I wouldn't be surprised if someone from Boris's camp leaked this given the antipathy between the PM and Sunak - it's a bad look when utility bills are skyrocketing, inflation is soaring and people are struggling to make ends meet.

 

[Markhor]

Its racist. Nothing else.

So much for the left being the only ones who cry racist and play identity politics !

Especially rich coming from someone who defends the Indian stance on no dual citizenship.

Double taxation laws doesnt work like that atleast for me in USA. Lets say you made Rs. 75000 ($1000).
Lets say, your tax, as per Indian tax code, is Rs. 7500 ($100)
Lets say, your tax, as per US tax code, is $300
Then you still owe the tax diifference ( $300 - $100 = $200) to IRS (USA).

Seems like in UK, you dont owe the difference if you are non-dom. This clearly is a big loop hole in the tax code and should be corrected.

On topic, she has not broken any law which has existed for decades. So not sure why the personal attacks on her/Sunak.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Maybe she should be in India as well so she can be rejoined with her income. She can take her husband with her, he's never getting into no 10.

Well ask the British government to deport her. She is not some illegal refugee in UK, neither is she asking for charity.

I have no interest in knowing which politician does what in UK. My concern is only about an Indian citizen and how UK political parties want to junk international agreements.

The Chancellor Rishi Sunak has written to the Prime Minister Boris Johnson asking him to refer him to the Independent Adviser on Ministers Interests to determine whether all his "interests were properly declared"
