Current Affairs Rishi Sunak

[Walken]

I think quite a few people care that very rich people can circumnavigate tax laws, generally through well paid financial advisors in order to remain extremely rich, whilst poorer people have to pay their way.
I used to work in debt management, and the amount of folk I would speak to who tried being a bit sneaky from HMRC but then ended up with huge tax bills further down the line is unreal. HMRC collect very aggressively with little room for manoeuvre and can and do force bankruptcy.

You are talking tories, profits matter not morals

Fingers crossed the membership sees sense this time and Sunak gets the job that should NEVER have gone to Truss.

I keep coming back to the leadership hustings. Every time they spoke about the economy, Truss outlined her plans (which she then set in motion via Kwarteng's appalling budget)... Sunak patiently explained why her plans would not work and what would happen as a consequence. Time has proven he was as near to 100% accurate as I've ever seen anyone be about the economy.

The economy is in urgent need of immediate attention, and Sunak appears competent in that aspect. As for the tax exile status? Who cares. Anyone with hundreds of millions in cash assets would do exactly the same. Sorry, but to me that demonstrates fiscal aptitude.

Shame you weren't defending Jimmy Carr.

Since the war North Korea has had fewer unelected leaders than the UK - good times.

Rishi it is then.

That’ll get the Tory faithful back onside. Not even joking.

At the time I felt he knew exactly what he was doing.

I see 'globalism' and the 'wef' are the new boogeymen....

Very, very small man

….interesting to see if the Boris backers like Foreign Secretary James Cleverley will get a place in the new Cabinet. Many of them forced Johnson out & then backed the wrong horse when he flew home from the Caribbean,

I suppose George Soros is too obvious these days.

Even without the obvious dogwhistling, I'd love to see how you run an economy that isn't globalist in some nature lol

 

[summerisle]

No doubt, the first of many, many more scandals to land on his desk.

What do you mean, unelected?

Not Kim Jong-Un's fault 100% of the population vote for him lol

Be a good start for him if he ditched Rees-Mogg.
