    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It was the political equivalent of,

    'Thanks for choosing our insurance, I just need to quickly run you through the terms and conditions.'
