Rishi Sunak’s time is up!

[MrCurry]

Ostensibly this is about Rishi’s Wife, but contains a fair amount about the new PM, if anyone is interested in some background info:

Rishi Sunak will not only be Britain's youngest leader for 200 years, he is the country's first non-White prime minister. And thanks largely to his wife Akshata Murty, Sunak will be one of the richest people to reach the top of the political establishment.

Whats the point of minister without portfolio? It sounds like a right doss.

It's when someone knows where the bodies are buried, but they're no good at anything in particular.

The pound has bounced back to pre pound level, despite no actual governing or policies happening as the markets rejoice at having got their man in.

Yeah, but Rishi doesn't have a floppy-eared dog named after him, so swings & roundabouts.

She works hard for her father's money

The pound has bounced back to pre pound level, despite no actual governing or policies happening as the markets rejoice at having got their man in.

Depressing to think that £1.14 against the USD looks like a result. It was at £1.40 in June last year.

I remember Christmas shopping in New York when it was over $2 to the pound back in 2007. How far the UK has fallen.

That's a proper third degree burn right there.

Suellla Braverman back in Government

[skyscraper101]

Braverman still Home Sec.

 

[8ball]

Minister for Lost Property

 

[Bingoman]

doing what?

Back in the home Office God no what's he thinking here

So Shapps Shafted

Lightning rod?

 

[Karl Masks]

Braverman still Home Sec.

you better be joking

 

[Lurdan]

Well strictly speaking she's back as Home Secretary

 

[Bingoman]

you better be joking

Err nope

 

[maomao]

you better be joking

He is. She's not 'still' home secretary because she was briefly replaced. She's Home Secretary 'again'.

 

[bimble]

Her back as Home Secretary because of some deal or calculation his ‘sensible grownup government’ image is over. She’s inexplicable.

 

[maomao]

Badenoch was also a big name for Sunak on Sunday. Bet she gets education.

 

[danny la rouge]

doing what?

Minister for hatred and genocide.

 

[steeplejack]

The government of integrity re-appoints someone to the job from which they were sacked for a security breach six days ago.



(another personal calamity for Grant "Four Aliases" Shapps)

Distract the 'libtards' while he "fixes" the economy?

 

[ViolentPanda]

I guess it depends whether the ERG tanks his leadership

That depends how much influence the ERG retains over the Parliamentary Conservative Party, post-the political demise of 2 PMs they supported.
I think Mogg & his rimjobs like Francois are on the down, with MPs thinking "what the fuck have they done, except cause turmoil, & profit from chaos?".

 

[WhyLikeThis]

Braverman wtf? I suppose it’ll shore up the racist vote when you have a brown skin PM.

 

[elbows]

We are told that he is an enthusiastic support of the Rwanda policy, so its not really a surprise Braverman is back, especially given her support for him during the leadership contest.

The lack of new faces, making this cabinet mostly a remix of the Johnson and Truss eras, wont help them create the impression this is a new government, it will tether a big chunk of their reputation to the past regimes.
