Westminster's pay or for that matter its gravy train isn't big enough for corpulent Sam. :)

ps the meme's of the great man outside number 10 did make me laugh, fireman Sam to the rescue.

Like a Phoenix (or a dead duck) a new Cabinet rises from the ashes of the old. Cleverly to Education. The Sorting Hat has a sense of humour.

And you can say what you like about Fat Sam, but he's got the best record of any England football manager, ever, 100% wins.

This is a section from a quick "whois" for https://www.ready4rishi.com/, which I've just performed. It's Sunaks new "Give me money. despite the fact I'm already filthy rich because I want you to pay for me to be to be PM," website.

Jumping the gun a tad, Rishi?

He's a guy that knows how to get rich and stay rich.

That philosophy will run through him like a stick of rock.
Why pay for something when you can get it cheaper elsewhere is one tenet associated with the accumulation of wealth.

We can all have our own opinions as to whether we'd rather have a prime minister that is savvy when it comes to his personal finances.

FWIW...I'd rather someone as British PM who has not shovelled their money away offshore. I think that rules out Sunak and Zahawi, not sure about the others.

I'd prefer someone who has put the large chunk of their time and determination into helping others...

There is nobody left in the Tory party with any integrity. The few that had any morals were either purged or resigned when blojob the clown got elected.

This political pantomime,is embarrassing but funny at the same time. The more damage these self serving criminals can do to their own party the better.. I wish somebody would get rid of first past the post so my vote would possibly be worth something in a constituency that always elects a Tory. I think it would change politics for the better.

I don’t support any political party and would be happy to see all MP sitting as independents. Such a system would require a return to consensus politics. PR would be a great start in the right direction. It won’t happen because it would pretty much guarantee that neither Labour nor Conservative parties would/could ever again form a majority government, which is of course exactly what the country requires.
