      Both him and Liz Truss gave me the vibe of a kid doing their English GCSE speaking exam.
      Also side note people need to remember Boris Johnson wasn't evicted over party gate it was cause he kept appointing a minister (Chris Pincher) to cabinet positions, that he knew had several sexual harassment allegations dating back to 2017 and was in Boris' own words was "Pincher by name Pincher by nature".

      He assumed the British Army have the same far right politics as he does, but he is wrong.
      I think the UK establishment has failed to notice Sunak's political stance because his scapegoats are different than the ones people like Farage and May target. However he is quite, quite extreme in his views.

    The best part of the Rishi Coca-Cola thing is that when asked what his favourite kind was, he responded "Oh, it's Mexican Coca-Cola, because they use sugar instead of corn syrup".
    We don't, and never have, used corn syrup in either Europe or the UK to make our colas. That's only done in America.
    Meaning Rishi both doesn't know the food standards of the country that he's running, and is mentally still in the USA; where he went to uni, was employed by Goldman Sachs, and will inevitably return when his time in politics is up.

    • @GooseWithAPassport

    I think one of the things that’s so off-putting and “uncanny valley” about Rishi is that he’s so obviously inauthentic. Like, all politicians put on an act to some extent, but Rishi has somehow managed to become the ultimate blank slate, and is so hellbent on pleasing the people whose opinions he cares about that he no longer has any discernible views, morals, values or opinions. He’ll just say things, and nothing that comes out is what he really thinks.
    Most people are able to sense lack of authenticity pretty keenly, and it puts us on edge because you never know what someone truly believes. They just come across as two-faced and untrustworthy.

In the UK it seems like there’s way less of a stigma to calling yourself Working Class - at least for me, the things that come to mind are ‘hard working’, ‘backbone of society’, etc. And I don’t think it’s so easily defined here. I know technically it’s meant to be defined as ‘people who do unskilled or semi-skilled work’, but it feels like it’s about so much more than your job here. Your family, where you grew up, where you went to school, your accent, your politics, etc all play into it.

Lots of things is an example of one of the things he went without. It's tragic, really, how many lots of things his family had to give up when he was young.
