Sunak's wealth....

We're in a mess. I don't think Rishi is the worst, but our country has been abused for many, many years and he won't have a clue about the lives of the average person.
 
I'd much rather not have Tory as pm, but I don't see too many options in that party I'd rather have than him.

Truss and the grassroots have made him look a realist by comparison. Still think we need a general election.

Not sure about the "won't understand the common man" argument. They're not that hard to understand, are they? No great mystery? Whether he cares or not is a different matter.
 
He is a hedge fund creature with no interest or ability in any other field as far as I can see so will therefore be unable to understand or appreciate any matters that do not impinge directly on his fund values e.g. NHS, immigration, Brexit (NI protocol) etc. He will impose austerity 2.0 because it will balance the books' and ultimately help his funds, simple as that. He is after all a committed thatcherite neo-liberal so what else can be expected?

It's not about understanding the common man, it's about understanding the scale of things. He sees £20 per week cut as £20 of discretionary spending so a bit less at the pub whereas the people that are getting that £20 cut see a choice between heating their house or feeding their kids. He can't possibly comprehend what that decision feels like because he's never had to make that kind of decision. All of the decisions he had ever experienced are about how to get the biggest reward and not how to cause the least damage or how to survive.
 
this is where Toryism takes you.. the hyper-privileged billionaire leading the masses they know little about, making crucial decisions that affect our lives. As said above, a hedge-fund world view. The Tory party should be banished. They should serve us, but only serve themselves. Welcome to more austerity, folks.

I'm not sure the country will accept Austerity2: The Payback...not when gas/power companies are raking in billions.
 
If the finanacial markets have no confidence in the Governments ability to manage the economy, the £ will drop and interest rates will rise. That means higher mortgage payments for many on here.

Sunak is very rich but his background could help keep the city gamblers on side.

His recent record suggests he is more cautious than the majority of other politicians.
