Sunak has absolutely no mandate from the British electorate....he hasn't even got a mandate from Tory party members ffs!

I don’t understand this. People voted for Tory, they are in power. Sunak is now the leader…off he goes.

At the last election we voted for a manifesto presented by a leader who is no longer in power due to being a disgrace. We have since had a new leader who promised x to her party and failed so is out now we have a leader who has support of some mps not all based on a policy his party rejected. Its hard to argue he has public support or a mandate but he is legally elected.

Course legally elected as per the last 2 does not mean he will last. With his high tax agenda my guess is when pain bites in new year he won't last

Lets see how this goes then....

Well it would be nice if all the character assassination and squabbling stopped, so him and his team could crack on with steadying the ship and actually govern things for a while.

Wishful thinking though.

That would mean putting country before party, which isn’t going to happen.

or maybe they are putting the country first as a near billionaire, Goldman Sachs alumni just is not the right person to carry the message of the incoming tough choices that will effect the type of people he has zero connection with other than, an instagram friendly photo opportunity.

I'm loving the way he totally blanked Hancock and the look on Hancock's face

Reminded me of that scene in The Office. "Look, let me reassure you all. Your job's safe, your job's safe, [skips a person], your job's safe..."

Why is it an issue for Sunak to be loaded but OK for famously frugal Boris to tout himself as a ‘Man of the People’?

Just kidding I know the answer but want to see the more swivel eyed on here practice their mental gymnastics.

Relevance and what are you hoping to 'bring to the discussion' with that?

A good few blinkered nutters (racists ?) on here already.
Give the guy a chance.

Listening to Times Radio, where it has been suggested that Defence Secretary Ben Wallace may be removed due to him having issues with Rishi when he was chancellor, this allowing Penny Mordaunt to be brought in at defence....

Boris does ordinary things like ride a bike, hang off zip wires and play rugby. Rishi is a suit of pretence - a Tory Ed Milliband (not saying that's a bad thing electorally).

It’s going to be fun.

I have to agree. Also, the fact that he is very wealthy is part and parcel, you don’t become pm for the money and it would be hard to enter politics with a good chance of being pm without being financially independent - it’s not an absolute but it is a facilitator.

During covid he increased tax for 3m gig workers while denying them furlough his wife avoided tax while he was Chancellor and despite being worth close to £1bn let her business collapse without paying HMRC. He is on record as saying he took money from inner cities to give to Tunbridge Wells. So it's nothing to do with him being Asian (as per the pH pill 86% could care less) its because he was second choice 2.months ago and he does not give a fk

Liz and Jeremy had recent problems with Wallace over the 3% commitment, reports claimed he would resign.

Penny would be a poor replacement

His first address was absolutely superb, an absolute masterclass in reading off a teleprompter in a robotic manner

Hopefully his 2nd address after meeting the King will be an improvement...... Saving himself for that..!

Wouldn't it be great if the door opened and Charlie's says something like, 'Oh goodness, another one?'
