  • James O'Brien and Nick Ferrari callers try to figure out why Rishi Sunak called the General Election 'early'.
    After months of speculation, Rishi Sunak has called a General Election that many expect Labour to win.
    Speaking on the steps of Downing Street, a drenched Rishi Sunak vowed he "will never leave the people of this country to face the darkest of days alone".
    Mr Sunak declared it "the moment for Britain to choose its future" and said the election will take place at time "when the world is more dangerous than it has been since the end of the Cold War".

      Sunak is a very wealthy multimillionaire. Most of his wealth is in assets that will almost certainly be appreciated each year. So he makes millions each year without spending or lifting a finger. That's why people like Bernie Sanders & AOC say to tax the wealthy multimillionaires & billionaires otherwise their assets keep growing in value, earning them millions in untaxed income each year.

      They keep stamping on your head, and you keep asking for more.
