So instead of doing what he wanted to do six weeks ago, you want him to do what someone else wanted three years ago?

It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off.

I didn't say what I wanted him to do ...

... I've just no idea what he's promised to do and what he will do.

I'm not sure he does either.

I don't remember him ever saying he'd spend less tbh, when did he say that?

Tax more?

He was advocating lower taxes in his failed election campaign six weeks ago.

...and here we go again, yet another 'leader of the people' that has never had to ask for batter on his chips to make it a bit more of a meal cos he could not afford to add a patty and a fish lot was unheard of.


It's a bit unfair to expect anyone with an Indian heritage and immigrant parents to be quite that comfortable with English cuisine.

HOWEVER, he will be more than competent with that English Favourite, CURRY.
It seems that during his school holidays, he worked in a Curry House in Southampton.
That does it for me.
I can't remember the last time I had Fish and Chips from a chip shop.
But I can certainly remember when I last had an Indian Carry Out.

So he may know nothing about batter, but I bet he's an ace at filling out with the rice if he needs too.:emoticon-0116-evilg

I believe he was saying that his aim was to lower taxes, but only when it was prudent to do so.
To do this now would destabilise the market with higher interest rates, more expensive Government borrowing and Mortgages.

In fact, he forecast everything that in fact happened.

Of course, seeming to be cleverer than Dizzie Lizzie, may not in itself prove much, but it's a start.

(PS.
I've noticed the use in my post, of one of Gordon Brown's favourite woods, PRUDENT. It's unlikely that my quote is 100% accurate.
But that was the sense of his statement.)

I hope he does well, we're currently heading for a terrible time.

Liz Truss has just posted, "You have my full support."

What a boost for Sunak, the full support of a disgraced clown who was the laughing stock of the nation ...

... it's like being asked, by Fred West, if you want a patio laying.

That should say world<ok>
 
I suppose as he is rich £730m, so cannot be bribed for the price of wallpaper like Bonko..

Not sure what else to commend h about.
He went to public school.
Studied at Oxford then Stanford.
His father in law is a Billionaire and co founder of Infosys.

But hey - he is 42, a Hindu and is the first Asian Prime Minister.

Oh - and his favourite team play in red & white stripes.

All you need to do is look back through his comments at the hustings during the last leadership contest. Tax more, spend less.

The task isn't that different. Cost of living was on the rise, as were interest rates. We're just thirty billion quid down on what's now become such a large figure it's practically meaningless anyway.
The Tories call him socialist Sunak because of his high tax policy and his high spending during Covid. He'll do things very similar to the way Labour would manage it.

What was that first speech. Was it a practice or something. Like he was on auto pilot witb zero emotion or personality.
