I would make Sunak one of the favourites with party members but don't know if he will survive the MP's ballots to make it to the last two. Depends how they view his resignation that brought about the beginning of the end for Boris.
Of course, he's just another in a long line of entitled, power hungry ar$eholes who wants to carry on the Tory tradition of telling the poor they have to keep tightening their belts, while they live in the lap of luxury. He is on another planet financially, which is apt because he looks like Spock. He also attended the illegal parties but didn't resign over that, the fooking hypocrite.
The people will keep voting for them, believing that they actually care about us. I am, and always have been, totally baffled why working people think that voting for these sorts of people will enrich their lives somehow.
He's an oily sh1t, like the rest of them.
I don't know if your saw the televised debate tonight but I was struck by how Sunak spoke about how one of his family members generated so much wealth. Started with little money but through hard work became successful in business. Take your Tory prejudices aside for one minute and surely you must admire that success story. |

I don't admire obscene wealth, or those that are deified for it. Lot's of people work hard, but don't get rewarded for it. |

I have no problem with people working hard to make money, that’s fine so long as you pay your taxes. If you game the system to pay little or no tax and then use your political influence to continue this further then you’re the lowest of the low and can fùck right off. |

Do you know anybody local who got a grant and then didn't pay all his dues and demands? |

Yes I agree. I do feel without knowing all the inns and outs of politics on either side labour or conservative that Sunak came across as very polished and creditable last night and out of yesterdays candidates in the televised debate came across as the best. Iam still moved though by his family members story of starting with hardly having any money and then through sheer effort making it wealthy. In fairness to Sunak did state yesterday he wanted to hear of other success stories like his family in the wider British public. I remember Alan Sugar who is a Tory also comes from a similar rags to riches story. Started initially selling car aerials for one. |

Apparently exposure is damaging them. Very strange to want less publicity after all this will be for our next PM. They should want to be scrutinised and show exactly what they are about |

There's no such thing as bad publicity... unless you're a bunch of talentless no marks bidding to be Prime Minister.
My prediction remains that whichever white candidate makes it through to the final two will be selected by the Tory Party members. So Truss is certainly a possibility at the end of the day.

Is correct! Imagine these people being the best the Conservative party has to offer, to run our government and country. I have found the debates both cringeworthy and excruciatingly awkward. I felt the candidates themselves were disingenuous and so removed from reality. Depressing! |

Alan Sugar is a Labour Lord and the bulk of his wealth comes from real estate and commercial property lettings. Which is why he’s regularly on the telly crying about people being allowed to work from home. Show me a billionaire and I’ll show you an exploitative parasite. |
