Sunak came across as a boring, petty, petulant, thin-skinned public schoolboy; great stuff.
He's totally finished; back to being a hedgie again.

I disagree that is how he came across, though he is probably finished.

Can't imagine many tory members would have watched it to, if they did, it would have altered many minds in his favour. I genuinely thought he looked very uncomfortable being questioned, but it's always interesting to see other perceptions.

Neil referring to waiting lists said “would you wait for a year?”
Sunak said “No, I think this is unacceptable”

ambiguous answer i think you will agree?

Very obviously "why wait in line with the little people when it's loose change to me".

Yes I think it was ambiguous though IMV as with all the questions he was answering the question he wanted to answer not what Neil asked him.
I can’t imagine he would use any public services, possibly out of principle due to his families penchant for avoiding tax

Agreed. On both points. Neil is a bully and Sunak stood his ground.

We live in a world where Rishi Sunak seems a marginally better alternative than Liz Truss, at least in some moods. I don't like this world. It's gone all very strange since 2016. I mean, it was no picnic before that, but before Brexit/Trump it didn't have the same aura of complete irrationality.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I'm old enough to remember them all roaring and cheering as they introduced, then voted for legislation that would impoverish the poorest, as a reaction to the financial crash and as if you can cut your way out of a recession. I remember the effects of those cuts to me and mine and the way my town just died. I'm old enough to remember Andrew Lansley's health and social care act (2012) scaring the shit out of me because of the implications playing out as realities now. Now its extending outwards to eat up people who aren't routinely used to being marginalised, done to rather than doing.
Revel in your nostalgia, mate.
Truss will be your new PM. Fuck knows what happens after that

Interesting point about high inflation is it will increase tax take - CEBR estimate 60bn fiscal headroom: The Telegraph - Next Tory leader has room to make £60bn in tax cuts, say economists
So when Rishi cautions about tax cuts he is really talking about slightly slower tax increases...

Haha desperate stuff here, meanwhile if Truss becomes leader and PM maybe we are headed for a massive showdown particularly as she has stated that she will implement anti-strike legislation.

Let's hope she faces a complete wall of strikes and then has to go to the country to ask who governs this country.Haha desperate stuff here, meanwhile if Truss becomes leader and PM maybe we are headed for a massive showdown particularly as she has stated that she will implement anti-strike legislation.

This is the thing isn’t it, Labour need to sell a vision of the future that people want - so far it’s “moderate centrism and sensible curbs on workers rights for all”.
I have many problems with Corbyn but he was at least passionate and sold the idea that we deserve better.

If there's huge national strikes she may win a huge majority in a GE though.
