Rumour fresh off the mill, sunak has cut a deal with cadburys, schools to be retro fit with wispa bar structuring... On an unrelated note it seems his wife holds shares in the confectioner.
I wouldn't trust a Tory with anything to do with children's welfare, @petewhat are your thoughts on the victims of pedophilia and the Tory governments of the past turning a blind eye to it
 

Rishi Sunak criticised over $3m donation to US college​

June 5, 2023 Joe Willis News 2


The Prime Minister’s local political opponents have criticised his decision to donate $3m to a college in the US.
Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty paid for a computing lab at Claremont McKenna in California where his wife studied economics and French as an undergraduate, it emerged in the national press at the weekend.

Fees are $86,500 a year for tuition and board at the college.
The facility, which reportedly has hi-tech chairs that cost £650 each, is named the Murty Sunak Quantitative and Computing Lab in the couple’s honour.

The donation in 2018 came three years after Mr Sunak became MP for Richmond.
Last night, The MP’s political opponents in Richmondshire lined up to criticise the donation.
Daniel Callaghan, Liberal Democrat prospective parliamentary candidate, will go head to head with Rishi Sunak in next year’s general election.

He said: “While every single school across his own constituency struggles to make ends meet because of years of Tory underfunding, Rishi Sunak is handing millions of pounds to a private school in California.
“You couldn’t make it up. This man is out of touch and needs to go. We deserve better.”
Green Party county councillor Kevin Foster, who represents Hipswell and Colburn on North Yorkshire Council, said: “It’s clear that wherever Rishi Sunak’s loyalties lie they are not with the people and families here in his North Yorkshire constituency.

“This is why people should vote for a local candidate to be their MP, who they know will always put their interests first.”

Maybe Sunak's wife's pocket money, will bail him, and Keegan out, of crumbling, unsafe buildings and finance the rebuild..
 
If true, how can these spivs be trusted with any executive powers?


I was saying this to someone else yesterday.
You can imagine they wanted to get through 1 more year, then smash Labour over the head with it. Look the schools are falling down on your watch.
If Labour did do anything. Look at them borrowing money, and spending £bn's. If that money was always available, why not give it to (insert thingy here) or above inflation payrise.

I think they got caught here, and are scrambling, but not getting their stories straight. Sunak is gonna have a hell of a time in prime ministers questions.

The problem for them is that there are parts of the Tory Party are using this against Sunak, irrespective of their own rather larger responsibility.

Take this editorial in the Mail for example (which I hope you will forgive me for linking to):


Government inaction has caused this, and many other disasters and impending disasters. We’ve got to at first realise that a problem exists and then get to deal with it.

Any political activity that isn’t directed to dealing with it is stupid. A lot of what has been reported so far meets that criteria.
