To have shat the bed once in a week, Mr Sunak may be regarded as a misfortune; to do it twice looks like carelessness.

He’s going to be a car crash in an election campaign. Genuinely don’t think he’d pass the Turing test. Can’t think on his feet, makes constant blunders when faced with dealing with voters on the street. They were going to get blatted anyway but once he has to speak regularly and gets challenged when more people are paying attention he is screwed.
Don't think he's arsed mate.
I think he is. He’s already got generational wealth thanks to his wife so milking it after that fact doesn’t matter to him. This is his thing and he’s terrible at it.

Or find it amusing. Bit like The Lisbon 'jokes' that, of course, aren't meant to offend real people.
Tories shining a light on their faces. Horrid sight.
He's in the history books, he wanted the India trade deal - that's not gonna happen but even an MoU is likely to sky rocket the shares he has in Infosys.
He'll make fortunes and more importantly connections on the right wing circuit in the US from where he'll be watching the country he's shafted at least 3 times continue to struggle without the slightest twinge of emotion.
Guys a 'kin sociopath. None of them want to be Prime Minister, they want to have been Prime Minister.
It’s all intentional. You think Tory failings on housing, healthcare and the economy are going to be in the papers and on the news for the next few weeks?
They're barely covered anyway

Don't tag me in this! I don't recall ever showing any support for Sunak, whatsoever. Indeed, I have criticized him for being a back-stabbing snake!
That said, it's a subject that will never enjoy 100% support one way or another. So, for a politician, best to play the odds...
He didn't actually say anything wrong though, and I'm sure Brianna's mother understands it's a difficult topic.
Sunak shouldn't be emotionally guilt tripped into saying something that he, and the majority of society doesn't agree with.
That only works if he'd committed to it, he's spent the remainder of the day debating about if he should apologise or not and making excuses about 'not hearing what Starmer said' about her mother being at Parliament.
He didn't need to say anything. Part of the furore is because of how unnecessary and asanine the 'joke' was, coupled with the insensitivity it's shown.
Apologising for the insensitivity shouldnt be a divisive issue either.
Her Father is rightly appalled at him, her Mother met with Starmer. I doubt they are very understanding of sunaks culture war jibes after what their daughter endured.
On a politican playing the odds, thats a terrible sentiment that is entirely in play with the populist era the right wing is pushing further and further. A good politican should do what is morally correct, to the benefit of society and that which protects the vulnerable. The civil rights movement was statistically unpopular in America at one stage, thankfully enough folk didn't 'play the odds'.
