The problem isn't whether or not these special tax arrangements are legal or illegal. The problem is that the ones who write the law are the ones benefiting from the loopholes. Of course all the juiciest loopholes are legal. They've been written that way.
I don't think that money brings happiness to someone who has never had any problems with money. The next best thing that makes one happy is power/control. Having power over a loophole means having power over people who use the loophole, which is more important than any money that the loophole can bring. So to your point, yes, they do benefit from loopholes, but not in a monetary way.

It’s not about being jealous or angry about someone’s wealth, it’s about recognising that someone in that lifestyle, who has always lived in that lifestyle, will never understand what life is like for the overwhelming majority of British people who don’t live anything remotely like that, the single mums, the disabled, people on council estates and those who will never be able to afford a property or have to choose whether they can afford to have children!

When he was talking about the people he met at the uni from different classes in society and then he said " maybe not working class", the way he said it is what shocked me.

"We believe in aspiration in the Conservative Party." No you don't. Social mobility is plummeting, meaning that, if you are born poor today, you are more likely to die poor than at any time since the 1920s. Achievement is still dominated by accident of birth: who your parents are and which community you were born into. Half of all prime ministers of Britain attended the same school! The British class system is stronger now than at any time since the second World War, which is because the country is becoming evermore unequal again.

I can’t help feeling like it’s Rishi’s PARENTS who are the meritocratic success story here, and Rishi’s trying to pass off himself as having the same humble beginnings they did. I don’t know many middle-income families that have an extra £22k per year for Winchester fees. That is some people’s annual salary after tax. The average middle income family would struggle to cover the fees of the private school Rishi was already attending, let alone Winchester. Of course It’s not a crime to be rich, it’s the pretences that irritate his fellow MPs and the public. Matthew Stuart writes about this ‘cosplaying poor’ mindset of sorts in _‘The 9.9 percent: the new aristocracy’._ He details how well-off professionals of the 9.9%, whose necks tire from looking up at those with even more, _“convince themselves that they don’t have any privilege at all [..] and conflate the stress of status competition with the stress of survival.”💬_ Did anybody here watch Gossip Girl? The Upper East Siders made the Humphrey’s feel so poor that they actually started believing it. Nevermind that their elite education was paid by their former rockstar dad who ran a successful art gallery, while they lived in a multi-million dollar loft in Brooklyn’s nouveau-riche hipster hangout, D.U.M.B.O, not to mention their Dad eventually marrying a billionaire - but they’re poor, remember? 😂 Dan Humphrey’s character was constantly called out for ‘cosplaying poor’ whilst living alongside billionaires and marrying into Manhattan’s most elite family. No offence but Rishi is definitely giving Dan Humphrey vibes! 😅
@SD I agree with you, but I wouldn't call Rishi's parents middle-class. They're closer to the upper classes in terms of wealth, so there's still an element of privilege.
Make no mistake: his mum and dad were all about gaining status. This speaks of seeing one’s self as above others. This is what he was taught. They pushed him and he worked hard.
They understood one thing: If you're well off and in a respectable position based on qualifications, it will matter less what you look like, most doors open for you.
He hasn't got a privilege background? That's just ridiculous. His father was a doctor, his mother was a pharmacist. How elite do you have to be to considered privileged in the Tory party. I would say a Doctors son is a privilege background. Why do rich people feel the need to distance themselves from privilege?

@@economicsdiary551 No, Snakey's father looked relieved when Snakey said he didn't have any working class friends. That is an Indian caste thing - treating the working class like untouchables. You'd never see that reaction in a UK home - even in upper class ones.
I love how they keep telling us that they've done nothing illegal when it comes to offshore tax havens. No, it isn't illegal because the financial elite have had the laws changed to suit themselves. If you look into what it takes to set up an offshore account its incredibly difficult, there are companies upon companies, mostly holding companies that don't actually employ anyone, but are there just to hold money. The whole process is very difficult and very expensive. Their entire purpose is to avoid paying tax and the premise is actually simple. As there is no tax on debt, someone from the UK with an offshore account, when needing money, contacts the offshore account company and gets a 'loan'. Of course it's not actually a loan because it's their own money. But because it's recognised as a loan when it comes to the UK, and therefore debt, there is no tax applied. The entire reason for having an offshore account is too evade paying tax, they have no other purpose. One of the real reasons the UK was sold the idea of Brexit was for that reason, the EU were closing tax loopholes such as tax avoidance or evasion from offshore accounts. Not the lie about regaining our sovereignty, we never lost our sovereignty so how could we regain it?

They work for the fucking goverment who implement Taxes so they should pay taxes instead of legally avoiding knowing full well it's morally wrong. Everyone else pays taxi's or should do.
That's just what Indian people do. Mum and dad will work hard to give their children a better life by giving their children a good education set them up. Then guide them along the way encouraging them to make wise choices in relationships and investments. Indians are naturally good at managing they are taught very young that you're stronger and safer in numbers... this guy is an inspiration what one can achieve with good parenting

Yeah it’s the parents who deserve credit here. My parents were the same and sent me to private school. I am not rich but ended up qualifying as a lawyer and am now a legal academic. I am the first in my working class family to go to university. It is not quite a rags to riches story with Sunak. A doctor and a pharmacist would be on a combined income of at least £200K: easily enough to to put him through Winchester. It’s not Sunak’s fault but with a billionaire wife he is always going to be completely out of touch with ordinary people’s financial struggles.
200k minus tax, NI and expenses. You over estimate their income greatly. Back in the 80's just arriving as immigrants for a long time they should not have had that much money, the pay was far lower back then compared to pay today they will still not earn anywhere near 200k. Today a doctor in specialist training starts on a basic salary of £39,467 and progresses to £53,077. Salaried general practitioners (GPs) earn £62,268 to £93,965 depending on the length of service and experience, if you are a lawyer I would think attention to detail are important. I would suggest that there was family wealth back in India. They also had 2 other kids to support, all looks a bit dodgy to me.
and do you know how his wife was brought up? and her background? just go n research. Narayanmurthy had a very humble beginning and he became rich just like Rishi. if we are talking about their backgrounds, can we bring all politicians wealth and background? did David Cameron not study in winchester? or a lot of others in politics?
It's amusing How Rishi believed he was tackling the issue of his parents-in-law's riches by talking about their origins - which entirely dodged the important issue. The mega-rich have interests. They are so heavily invested in the current economic state of affairs, have so much potentially to lose - that they will never support any change that might redistribute vital wealth. Rishi is not only married into a mega-rich family, but he's worked for Hedge Funds and been involved with financial and economic elites throughout his entire career. The British people aren't all idiots. They want to know why on earth they should ever believe Rishi will work for anyone else, instead of his elite, establishment friends who are begging him to stay the course.
Comment section shows why Britain is on a downward spiral, people just hating because sunak comes from a family of values and culture of education and achievement. You want a victim to be your leader not an achiever. You can imagine where it will lead you.
But the race prevail. If you are not white you will not become a prime minister. It is that simple in this country no matter what they talk about democracy. It is a racist shithole.
Surprisingly Labour removed one of the greatest things for social mobility, private school scholarships with government assistance covering the majority of the fees or even all of them. Why did they remove them? Because they were based on ability. Score well on the entrance exam, get a scholarship. Labour considered that unfair. Idiots. I was due to attend private school under a full scholarship even though I came from a council estate, because I aced the entrance exam. Then Labour removed those scholarships after I had done the entrance exam, costing me a private education. My parents would have never been able to pay the fees. I don't support the Tories or Labour though. We need a new party tbh.
People aren't questioning whether tax evasion is legal or not, we know its legal for the rich. What we've been saying since atlesst the financial crash in 2008 is that we want these legal loopholes removed. Something the conservatives have been promising and failing to sort out since David Cameron

All the while promising to not be "dependent" on them for too much longer. Or be like Germany finding more and more excuses not to send weaponry to Ukraine. Rather than simple saying "we don't want to" they will say "We can't find those weapons/ they don't work/ they're not ours" etc. At this point. A lot of EU members are pretty pissed off with the EU.

The fact that our potential prime minister thinks having a father who is a GP and a mother who owns a pharmacy means he was not from a privileged background is absolutely terrifying.
Does that real matter and it’s undisputed fact that with his knowledge he built something for himself. Many people have been born with a silver spoon in the mouth and I personally feel that the British people have a lot to gain with Sunak.
The term privileged is ultimately subjective and broad. Everything can be a privilege. Being raised by two parents can also be regarded ss privilege. In my books, being born in a family with generational wealth, is true privilege. Having migrant parents with decent paying jobs is not necessarily privilege, but it certainly is helpful.
@@mo4105 he went to Winchester, just his tuition fees were higher than the average migrant family income at that time. So I would say he was absolutely in a privileged position in life, yes his parents worked hard for there money but that doesn't change the fact that he has grown up without the financial stresses that 99.9% of this countries people have to deal with, I'm not knocking him for being in this position, I am pointing out the fact that he thinks his position is relatable to the majority of this country which it absolutely is not.
Quite. He's living in a fairy tale and he's labelled himself the prince coming to our rescue. He may be well-meaning but his ignorance would do more harm than good in the long-run. That crumb of good delivering £400 to help numerous people with the energy prices? That was only done thanks to Martin Lewis pushing him to, and even then, it's next to nothing.

How dumb do Rishi and his supporters think we are?
Parents paying for your education is not the privilege. That is the duty of any parent. The privilege is what came after he attended. Effectively his family bought Rishi a seat at the privileged table, after that getting into Oxford would be easy, also university was free at the time he attended

Can only admire some one who has studied and worked hard to get where he is today , also parents who achieved success also through education and hard work and chose careers in the health service as a doctor and a pharmacist , we should admire and encourage everyone to do likewise.
Rishi was lucky and worked hard to get to where he is. His parents worked very hard to send him to Winchester. That means they had to sacrifice nice things to send him there. But Rishi then made use of it to get into Oxford and then MBA Stanford. He then did the banking thing like many others of his generation. The biggest step up was he married into immense wealth. So he has gone from middle class to very rich with luck, help from hard working parents and made use of everything around him.
Mother a pharmacist and father a doctor shows he’s grandparents had money too. He came from privilege not hard work. Honesty never pays well, only dishonesty makes you rich.

Let's not put those who an education to positions where decisions are made. Listen, I'm one of those, let come and diagonose you as your doctor. This country has a tendancy to always look to tear people down!
Phase One: Don't be dirt poor, have two parents (who stay together) who are middle classed professionals, ensure you live in an economy where social mobility is possible, and in which one can simultaneously afford to buy a private education and afford a home, food & transport. Phase Two: Go to Oxford, then marry a billionaire's daughter. Phase Three: Buy investment properties (because your mum & dad can afford to lend you £100,000) manage hedge funds, & then become Prime Minister of the 5th or 6th wealthiest countries in the world. Wow! So easy! Why haven't the rest of us managed to do this! 🤣
It's not easy he has probably worked hard for it. The rest can't do it because you don't have the 1% mentality. you watch netflix and youtube all day long. You moan like a biatch thet poor gets poorer and rich gets richer. Elon musk, Jeff Bezos and other politicians or entrepreneurs worked hard to achieve something. I do not support Sunak I don't like Torries but I believe in working hard and achieving what ever you want.

He is a money man, not a business creator of wealth. We don't need more money men corrupting our society, we already have far too much with Central banks and International corporations.

Not a Sunak fan, but saw such families in our working/middle class community growing up. Hardly spoon in the mouth. Sunak would have gone same school as me, and it's evident his family worked damn hard. I've been weary of his in law connections but getting a scholarship is hardly posh. If anything, you realise just how unfortunate you are when you see your old friends taking other paths. Finally those Asian GPs and pharmacists were hardly privileged and aloof. They were connected in our communities and were exemplary of sheer hard work. Just beat up the guy for the right stuff and be fair.
Indians work hard everywhere they go and the story of Rishi's family can attest that they worked their way to where they are. The questions is whether the British people are ready for a Prime Minister who's from a minority and not white.
Totally agree. His father was just an NHS doctor, did he steal money? NO! instead he saved it to educate his child. Sad that this gutter journalism by chanel 4 decided to choose such silly program. Indian's are hard working, they are not extremist, they never go and bomb anyone. They blend perfectly where ever they emigrate. Through their hard work, they have contributed billions if not trillions to teh UK economy. Tell me all the Ugandan Indian's who came to this country - they were all penniless, but are anyone poor? NO! are anyone on Benefits Britain? NO!
True...they need a white politician to ruin the economy then you can only blame the politician......if it is an Indian politician...then you blame the Indians....not the politicians...nothing has changed in the racist mentality of people.

@3:37 “You know, I have friends who are aristocrats, I have friends who are upper-class, I have friends who are working-class … *well, not working-class* .” (My emphasis) And that, dear Reader, is why if Sunak becomes PM, he stands not a chance of holding those working-class northern seats the Tories won under Bozo; as, for all Johnson’s posho privilege, he had a disjointed, buffoonish charisma that cut through to ex-Labour voters, that Sunak can only dream of having. Labour, for all their current lacklustre lack of identity and policy, must be genuinely looking on and thinking … “yep, we just might.”

@@rehan2118 That’s not my point; my point is that humans are tribal, birds of a feather etc etc. Sunak has quite literally nothing in common with your average voter in Newcastle, or Barnsley, or Gosport, for that matter. For all the UK being a Parliamentary Democracy (lol), and not a Presidential system, we all know that most (all?) Brits *do* place quite a high emphasis on the leader of the party they vote for (notwithstanding all the policy issues). It’s the basic pub test: The Conservatives won seats in hitherto unthinkable places (for the Tories) at the last election. Why? Well, in large part (but certainly not wholly), they warmed to Johnson, and yes, for all his faults (perhaps because of them), many could imagine shooting the breeze with him over a swift half. Sunak, however, has *none* of this going for him. I deeply doubt that many of those who voted Tory last time will vote Tory next time if Sunak is PM. Or Truss, come to that, as she is hardly much more ‘relatable’ than Sunak. Hence why Labour may have a genuine chance, notwithstanding their bland, undefined presence as we speak.
@perspectology ironically he's lying right here so I suggest watching the video. Best vaccine rollout? Brexit benefits? Economic success? You are joking with me that you know the Tories destroyed all of the things he champions using only comparative objective data from Labour's last government vs this one.
I don't think this is first time a rich pm is elected in Uk? Why so much of hate? Her wife is daughter of self made millionare narayan murthy who changed it industry in India , creating so many jobs for people.
The problem isn't whether or not these special tax arrangements are legal or illegal. The problem is that the ones who write the law are the ones benefiting from the loopholes. Of course all the juiciest loopholes are legal. They've been written that way.
It proves we are being taxed far too much of they have no issue not paying it themselves
I don't think that money brings happiness to someone who has never had any problems with money. The next best thing that makes one happy is power/control. Having power over a loophole means having power over people who use the loophole, which is more important than any money that the loophole can bring. So to your point, yes, they do benefit from loopholes, but not in a monetary way.

I don’t know many middle-income families that have an extra £22k per year for Winchester fees. That is some people’s annual salary after tax. The average middle income family would struggle to cover the fees of the private school Rishi was already attending, let alone Winchester. Of course It’s not a crime to be rich, it’s the pretences that irritate his fellow MPs and the public.
Matthew Stuart writes about this ‘cosplaying poor’ mindset of sorts in _‘The 9.9 percent: the new aristocracy’._ He details how well-off professionals of the 9.9%, whose necks tire from looking up at those with even more, _“convince themselves that they don’t have any privilege at all [..] and conflate the stress of status competition with the stress of survival.”💬_

@@morsmagne true
I love how they keep telling us that they've done nothing illegal when it comes to offshore tax havens. No, it isn't illegal because the financial elite have had the laws changed to suit themselves. If you look into what it takes to set up an offshore account its incredibly difficult, there are companies upon companies, mostly holding companies that don't actually employ anyone, but are there just to hold money. The whole process is very difficult and very expensive. Their entire purpose is to avoid paying tax and the premise is actually simple. As there is no tax on debt, someone from the UK with an offshore account, when needing money, contacts the offshore account company and gets a 'loan'. Of course it's not actually a loan because it's their own money. But because it's recognised as a loan when it comes to the UK, and therefore debt, there is no tax applied. The entire reason for having an offshore account is too evade paying tax, they have no other purpose. One of the real reasons the UK was sold the idea of Brexit was for that reason, the EU were closing tax loopholes such as tax avoidance or evasion from offshore accounts. Not the lie about regaining our sovereignty, we never lost our sovereignty so how could we regain it?

Yeah it’s the parents who deserve credit here. My parents were the same and sent me to private school. I am not rich but ended up qualifying as a lawyer and am now a legal academic. I am the first in my working class family to go to university. It is not quite a rags to riches story with Sunak. A doctor and a pharmacist would be on a combined income of at least £200K: easily enough to to put him through Winchester. It’s not Sunak’s fault but with a billionaire wife he is always going to be completely out of touch with ordinary people’s financial struggles.
All politicians are out of touch.
Rishi was an ex-waiter, at least he tried
200k minus tax, NI and expenses. You over estimate their income greatly. Back in the 80's just arriving as immigrants for a long time they should not have had that much money, the pay was far lower back then compared to pay today they will still not earn anywhere near 200k. Today a doctor in specialist training starts on a basic salary of £39,467 and progresses to £53,077. Salaried general practitioners (GPs) earn £62,268 to £93,965 depending on the length of service and experience, if you are a lawyer I would think attention to detail are important. I would suggest that there was family wealth back in India. They also had 2 other kids to support, all looks a bit dodgy to me.
Darling , can we afford it ?
and do you know how his wife was brought up? and her background? just go n research. Narayanmurthy had a very humble beginning and he became rich just like Rishi. if we are talking about their backgrounds, can we bring all politicians wealth and background? did David Cameron not study in winchester? or a lot of others in politics?
It's amusing How Rishi believed he was tackling the issue of his parents-in-law's riches by talking about their origins - which entirely dodged the important issue. The mega-rich have interests. They are so heavily invested in the current economic state of affairs, have so much potentially to lose - that they will never support any change that might redistribute vital wealth. Rishi is not only married into a mega-rich family, but he's worked for Hedge Funds and been involved with financial and economic elites throughout his entire career.
The British people aren't all idiots. They want to know why on earth they should ever believe Rishi will work for anyone else, instead of his elite, establishment friends who are begging him to stay the course.

Surprisingly Labour removed one of the greatest things for social mobility, private school scholarships with government assistance covering the majority of the fees or even all of them.
Why did they remove them? Because they were based on ability. Score well on the entrance exam, get a scholarship. Labour considered that unfair. Idiots.
I was due to attend private school under a full scholarship even though I came from a council estate, because I aced the entrance exam. Then Labour removed those scholarships after I had done the entrance exam, costing me a private education. My parents would have never been able to pay the fees.
I don't support the Tories or Labour though. We need a new party tbh.
Not really, and this is why intersectionality is important
People aren't questioning whether tax evasion is legal or not, we know its legal for the rich. What we've been saying since atlesst the financial crash in 2008 is that we want these legal loopholes removed. Something the conservatives have been promising and failing to sort out since David Cameron

Or be like Germany finding more and more excuses not to send weaponry to Ukraine. Rather than simple saying "we don't want to" they will say "We can't find those weapons/ they don't work/ they're not ours" etc.

The fact that our potential prime minister thinks having a father who is a GP and a mother who owns a pharmacy means he was not from a privileged background is absolutely terrifying.
That's practically middle class.... He did go to the most expensive private schools in Britain..
Does that real matter and it’s undisputed fact that with his knowledge he built something for himself. Many people have been born with a silver spoon in the mouth and I personally feel that the British people have a lot to gain with Sunak.
The term privileged is ultimately subjective and broad. Everything can be a privilege. Being raised by two parents can also be regarded ss privilege. In my books, being born in a family with generational wealth, is true privilege. Having migrant parents with decent paying jobs is not necessarily privilege, but it certainly is helpful.
@@mo4105 he went to Winchester, just his tuition fees were higher than the average migrant family income at that time. So I would say he was absolutely in a privileged position in life, yes his parents worked hard for there money but that doesn't change the fact that he has grown up without the financial stresses that 99.9% of this countries people have to deal with, I'm not knocking him for being in this position, I am pointing out the fact that he thinks his position is relatable to the majority of this country which it absolutely is not.
Quite. He's living in a fairy tale and he's labelled himself the prince coming to our rescue. He may be well-meaning but his ignorance would do more harm than good in the long-run. That crumb of good delivering £400 to help numerous people with the energy prices? That was only done thanks to Martin Lewis pushing him to, and even then, it's next to nothing. Martin Lewis worked so hard to try to get the man to step up and deliver what was REALLY needed, but was met with "no, no, no". Rishi's deluded and unhelpful.

Phase Three: Buy investment properties (because your mum & dad can afford to lend you £100,000) manage hedge funds, & then become Prime Minister of the 5th or 6th wealthiest countries in the world.
Wow! So easy! Why haven't the rest of us managed to do this! 🤣
Thats gold lol
It's not easy he has probably worked hard for it. The rest can't do it because you don't have the 1% mentality. you watch netflix and youtube all day long.

Rishi is just the icing on the cake to already demoralised common people of Britain.
He's just a pawn used to confuse and distract the public from uniting under one culture. We need a strong central culture to unite each nation under. Multiculturalism dilutes this and causes tensions in our way of life. Once again the people get divided and the top of the pyramid finds a way to maintain their hegemony.
If we're ever to push back against the modern day financial Goliaths, we don't need a disloyal puppet in a position of influence as prime minister.
@@ArunKarumathil please don't be silly here. Racism is so overused these days as a way to gloss over the content of ones character..

There is no loyalty to British citizens in that set up...
What do you not understand about that??
He is a compromised self serving individual with personal interests beyond the UK.
Please don't insult our intelligence with the racism accusation.
He is a money man, not a business creator of wealth.
We don't need more money men corrupting our society, we already have far too much with Central banks and International corporations.
Rishi is highly unsuitable to lead the common British public.. we do not see ourselves in him in any conceivable way.. and that is a big problem. There is no connection and therefore little trust..

When you're that Rishi Rich, you don't need to be PM. He only wants to be PM because of the POWER. That is all - power hungry.

Yes, most them make their fortune in the City before they go into politics! What they then earn as an M.P. or Cabinet Minister is frankly 'loose change' for many of them but this is where they develop a network of contacts with the rich & powerful, perhaps do a few 'favours' for such people & in turn get presented opportunities to feather their own nests in the future should they either step away from the frontline of politics or quit it completely!

@Ann Monica. I agree, but do feel that we native British could be spared a little. Immigrants already get far too many opportunities.
It’s not an unknown thing in Indian/Asian families to sacrifice their whole earnings towards their children’s education. In that process they forego foreign holidays, luxury household goods and scrimp every penny.

@@economicsdiary551 The UK agreed to pay a debt to America in exchange for their help during WW2. This debt was finally paid off in 2015, and my taxes went towards this - just as the next generation will likely spend their working career paying back for all the covid money that was spent.

A GP as a father and a Pharmacist as parents - no privilege? Really? How can he understand normal life?
Not a Sunak fan, but saw such families in our working/middle class community growing up. Hardly spoon in the mouth. Sunak would have gone same school as me, and it's evident his family worked damn hard. I've been weary of his in law connections but getting a scholarship is hardly posh. If anything, you realise just how unfortunate you are when you see your old friends taking other paths. Finally those Asian GPs and pharmacists were hardly privileged and aloof. They were connected in our communities and were exemplary of sheer hard work. Just beat up the guy for the right stuff and be fair.
I honestly do not know why people in the UK think having a doctor as a father ect is classed as priverlage..
I'm not far
Fat
Really? Pharmacists and doctors don't have normal lives? This is news to me
Indians work hard everywhere they go and the story of Rishi's family can attest that they worked their way to where they are. The questions is whether the British people are ready for a Prime Minister who's from a minority and not white.
Yes truly😔
Totally agree. His father was just an NHS doctor, did he steal money? NO! instead he saved it to educate his child. Sad that this gutter journalism by chanel 4 decided to choose such silly program. Indian's are hard working, they are not extremist, they never go and bomb anyone. They blend perfectly where ever they emigrate. Through their hard work, they have contributed billions if not trillions to teh UK economy. Tell me all the Ugandan Indian's who came to this country - they were all penniless, but are anyone poor? NO! are anyone on Benefits Britain? NO!
True...they need a white politician to ruin the economy then you can only blame the politician......if it is an Indian politician...then you blame the Indians....not the politicians...nothing has changed in the racist mentality of people.

For all the UK being a Parliamentary Democracy (lol), and not a Presidential system, we all know that most (all?) Brits *do* place quite a high emphasis on the leader of the party they vote for (notwithstanding all the policy issues). It’s the basic pub test: The Conservatives won seats in hitherto unthinkable places (for the Tories) at the last election. Why? Well, in large part (but certainly not wholly), they warmed to Johnson, and yes, for all his faults (perhaps because of them), many could imagine shooting the breeze with him over a swift half. Sunak, however, has *none* of this going for him. I deeply doubt that many of those who voted Tory last time will vote Tory next time if Sunak is PM. Or Truss, come to that, as she is hardly much more ‘relatable’ than Sunak. Hence why Labour may have a genuine chance, notwithstanding their bland, undefined presence as we speak.
