Sunak has no people skill's, it wasn't a hindrance as Chancellor but it is glaringly obvious as PM & sadly THAT'S where it's needed ...he seemed to believe that everyone would go along with him after the ridiculous Liz Truss debacle ... He has listened to the wrong people in an attempt to get their support whilst ignoring the right people (the voting public) who have suffered under his leadership much as they did under Johnson. We're fed up with being lied to, sold out & side lined in our own country, we're fed up not having a police force & justice system that serves the people, a health system that's more concerned with how much they're paid/how long they work than seeing to the health needs of the public, education, public transport all these "public funded" services serving they're own needs before ours, but most of all were sick & tired of seeing sack loads of tax payers money going to the French in return for them "stopping the boats".. they didn't even try, did Sunak demand a refund? NO he let it slide, Rwanda aren't offering to take the illegals for free , more sack loads of OUR money but NONE from the French or any other EU country who SHOULD have sheltered them but happily palmed them off on us... That's what he failed to understand.. he said he'd STOP THE BOATS, he didn't so it's goodbye Fishi Rishi & the Tories, here comes Starmmer 😳😲🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

The caller who is lauding Sunak, fails to recognise that successive Tory ministers have been ants when compared with big beasts that used to dominate the party. You may not have liked them, but they were clever and witty people.

The myth of Icarus is instructive. He flew too high and his wings melted and he crashed to earth. Cameron flew too high and was too complacent. Johnson flew too high due to his immensely flawed character and arrogance. Truss flew too high because she is somewhat unhinged and Sunak flew too high through lack of experience and ability. By contrast, the likes of Thatcher and Blair were up to the job, like tor loathe them. Major, May and Brown each made the best of very poor situations. I suspect Starmer will also fall into that category. The media need to be far more aware of this and more careful in commentary. Then the electorate will be better informed..

Surprised that the Tories are immoral? Strange take.

Sunaks grandfather Ramdas Sunak was a high ranking official in finance and justice department working for the Kenyan colonial government. Who had links with the Mau Mau in the Kenyan uprising against the British colonial rulers . So it’s no surprise This Tory administration has paid almost £20 million compensation to 5,000 elderly Kenyans who suffered abuse at the hands of the British during the uprising, which lasted from 1952 to 1960 Sunaks other grandfather Raghubir worked as a tax collector for the Department of Inland Revenue. His work was recognized with an MBE in 1988 (making him a Member of the Order of the British Empire). so hardly came from a working class family he had the financial backing from family ties MY THEORY is he was levered into politics by family ties and wants damage Britain

The problem is that sunak was trying to sort of 'play the game'/do what's he was told to do. He was told how the system works and followed that, rather than do the things he may have wanted to do. He just didn't have the intelligence or backbone to say 'we're not going far-right' or 'I'm not just a brown face that demonstrates how 'diverse' the party is. But that is me being generous to him.

The last caller is a perfect for this years SUPERCOMPILATION.

You know what, I'm not sure it's really his fault. He's a steady-hand-on-the-tiller guy at a time when - as he said himself - the country is facing exceptional problems. Albeit, those problems are partly the fault of the successive failures of Tory govts.
