[Link] He might not last much longer.Anyone fancy being Tory leader? The only talents for the job being the ability to tell whoppers and ignore financial rules.

He declared this when he took the role as PM. Maybe rich people have different rules because some people can’t stand success.

Sunak needn’t worry – maths mania already has our schools in a stranglehold.

A system that does not equip pupils for real life.

Of course, young people leaving school should understand the elements of maths. They need practical arithmetic, an understanding of measurement, proportion, risk and probability. They badly need to be computer literate.

History and Geography now classed as optional, cut backs to sports and the arts.

Examination mania, teachers oppressed.

I never see his wife ? is that because she is living abroad, as on her tax status ? She must have a really good income, what with shares in a child care Agency and not paying UK tax.
Because the Tories have never been about lining their own pockets ?

I disengage, I turn the page.

Pffft.

Let us know when he's the first.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Not saying he's not caked but he's about 80 billion short of the top 10 richest people in the world. Billions closer than us but not no. 2.

Yeah, we should only let poor people run things.

Seriously. Do you really think that the financial status of the PM is going to make a difference to how your life is?

Politics is full of self serving, unscrupulous careerists, and their bank balance is the least of our problems.
In fact, my only concern in that regard would be that a less well off politician might be susceptible to bribes or financial inducements.

Quite. In the good old days, those wealthy elite local politicians would have a quiet word in their club over a brandy and a certain issue would be pushed through that benefited certain people. All very cozy, low level corruption and not a penny paid.

However, if you wanted to see serious back-handers by developers over mass housing projects, the recipients were more likely to be Labour ex-union reps from humble backgrounds.

I find some amusement in the fact Sunak is now deciding what to do about Raab,, now the investigation into alleged bullying is complete.

Is there any other investigating to do ? And they all finish with "findings are inconclusive" "no evidence was found to support,..."

Maybe ; just maybe his employees were totally f***ing useless and actually deserved the odd bollocking. It’s our lives that they are running! Would you prefer t***s who haven’t got a clue or motivated knowledgable people. Look to Croydon council for the former!
