Even after all these centuries, India is still the golden bird for Britain.Both have similarity , both Sunak and Monarch earned their wealth from India 🇮🇳.....And all the wealth coming from father in law/Wife sitting in India 😅😅

Rishi went to Oxford (got a first) then got a scholarship at Stanford and then worked for Goldman Sachs and then became an MP, Chancellor (just before a pandemic) and eventually Prime Minister all on merit. His dad was a GP and mum was a pharmacist.

Parents paid for him to go to private school. He never had to work or think about getting a job to survive. There's multiple videos of him showing how incompetent he is at doing simple tasks like hammering a nail or paying for something at the petrol station. He has no clue of the pain that him and his party are helping to inflict on the normal working population of this country.

Keir Starmer’s dad was a factory worker and his mum was a nurse. He made all his earnings from being a lawyer and a politician. He was the first in his family to go to university. His wealth is not really comparable to Rishi Sunak’s wealth. Sunak is in the super rich league. I despise both Rishi and Keir by the way.

Is Rishi too Rich to be a PM , is Modi to poor to be a pm ! What kind of senseless Q and A are these. PM is a Job, and only capable person should be on the job, does it matter if a prison on job is white, Black, Brown , Lady,Man, Transgender, Indian, Afrikan, Chinese, Korean, South American.

90k is nothing for stress gp goes through, cost of training going to med school and residency. In US they make 2x to 3x that. Those are middle class salaries and would be eaten up sending him to elite. private schools. He is middle class who through education and marrying up made it to high wealth
The PM being so rich should help the country as he understand financial matters but he has to keep control of his underlings.
He can't do the job it doesn't matter what he did in the past he was rich. He has idea what it is like to be on the bread line

He said he's "never been prouder to be British" which proves how far removed from my political beliefs he really is, because I've never been more ashamed to a Brit. But as the track title that was played throughout his announcement ....things can only get better!
Simple answer yes he is too rich, He understands nothing of the plight of the common man, Instead of being a compassionate leader he is determined to target those of us who genuinely suffer and labelling us as a burden on society, We are not all benefit scroungers as the government would have us think.
She's wrong about Furlough and Eat out to help out, that helped millions of people from going jobless. She is from the reform party that were against lockdowns etc so it's expected
He's rich and smart
I want my kids to be successful like Sunak and not on benefits as kier would like us all to be on. Sunak is educated, savvy, successful, hard working and an entrepreneur. All the qualities you would want for your children ❤

Loyal to whom? Good? In what manner. Seems to be weak as a PM and focused on satisfying the lobbyists. Funny how big business can lobby to get what they want but the voters get shafted. This is why the Tories will not win the next election.
The fact that he's rich isn't the problem..its that from Goldman Sachs to TCI to Theleme to being Chancellor and now PM..he's had a direct hand in every global economic crash this century and has made an absolute fortune betting against the the pound through puts. It's also that a man with hundreds of millions in the bank has no real incentive to accept a £167k job unless he's intending on engaging in abject corruption.
Inflation will come down to 2% this week. Economy grew in Jan/Feb/March of 2024 (fastest growth among the G7 countries). Windsor Framework led to power sharing back in Stormont. NHS waiting list has been coming down now for 6 months in a row. Judge him on that not his wealth

The question should always be concerning the (ever increasing) massive wealth disparity in our society. The uber rich get richer, the poorer become poorer & the middle class disappears. Cronies help their other cronies & Rishi is no different. How can we expect to him truly empathise with the average Joe working person when he made £150+M in the last year alone from doing nothing aside from collecting share dividends? On another subject I've always believed that we should be taxing wealth & not wages. No one will ever convince me that one person needs hundreds of millions of Pounds when some people can't even afford to eat.
They are all rich, and their food in Westminster is subsidised, and they can fall asleep in work. What a life we're all in it together they say they get richer and we get poorer
I don't trust anybody who has 650 million and isn't chilling on a beach somewhere out of the public eye.
When is the next general election?
If a person is rich, that’s a problem. If they’re poor, that’s a problem. If they’re average, as in middle class, some say they’re struggling and don’t know what they’re doing. You just can’t win with people.

Ok folks. Marrying a wealthy partner whose parents own a successful multinational business should preclude you from being PM. Sunak's parents were a Doctor and Pharmacist. These are caring professions and he was bought up in that type of environment.

the worst prime minister we ever had imo was Thatcher, she treated unemployment and being poor like it was a disease, that she decided it was her divine right to attempt to eradicate. and she was very wealthy indeed. there are some levels of financial security that you cant get to if you care about the poor. and imo none of the party's are any different now.
