The rise of Rishi Sunak
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 бер 2020
- Rishi Sunak is a money man. At school he loved economics. At Oxford he shunned student politics, preferring the university Investment Society. He spent his twenties in the City, with the likes of Goldman Sachs.
Becoming an MP in 2015, days before his 35th birthday, he used one of his first speeches to issue a plea to be careful with the cash.
Now just five years later he is the chancellor of the exchequer breaking all of those rules, spending unprecedented amounts of money to rescue the economy from the devastating effects of the coronavirus outbreak.
But who is the man whose briefest of spells at the Treasury has already lead to him being tipped as a future prime minister?
His grandparents were born in Punjab and came to England in the sixties. Sunak was born in Southampton to an NHS GP father and pharmacist mother.
As a child he helped keep her books. In 2009 he married Akshata Murty, the daughter of billionaire tech giant NR Narayana Murty.
He describes himself as British Indian, and when he replaced William Hague as MP for Richmond in Yorkshire he swore his oath on the Bhagavad Gita, a 700-verse Sanskrit scripture that is part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
Once in the Commons he quickly impressed. A junior minister under David Cameron, he went on to back Leave in the 2016 referendum.
In the Tory leadership contest which followed he supported Michael Gove, when Theresa May quit he took a different approach.
Together with Robert Jenrick and Oliver Dowden, two of his closest friends in politics having become MPs around the same time, they wrote an article for The Times Red Box backing Boris Johnson as the only candidate who could see off the party’s opponents.
Long described as Boris Johnson’s favourite minister, aides in Downing Street complain that they “can’t clone Rishi yet”.
The father-of-two stood in for the prime minister during TV election debates, proving himself more capable of sticking to key messages than his boss.
He replaced Sajid Javid as chancellor in February 2020, at the age of 39, the second youngest occupant of the treasury after George Osborne for more than 100 years. Osborne has tipped him as a future PM.
His first budget, delivered after less than a month in the job, was supposed to herald the great “leveling up” project promised by the Tories, investing in roads, skills and towns neglected for years, but was overshadowed by the havoc wreaked by Covid-19.
Each new round of economic measures he has calmly announced during the crisis has brought inevitable expensive calls for more.
But it also fuels speculation that he might one day make the move from No11 to No10.
Politics, in fact all of life, is too unpredictable to be sure what the future holds.
But you wouldn’t bet against the money man.

I'm sure he did not anticipate a pandemic 3 weeks into the job as chancellor. This crisis will test his true nature
@KnightOfTheKing no google it.
This is all planned my friend. This was no natural virus. Its been genetically mutated. And powers like America have been KNOWN in history for their biological warfare. Watch the ways they'll take more power away from the people through this. If not us, the next generation will really be in the thick of it.
GazZy BwOi go to bed
@@Gulfraz. evidence?
What comes after will test his true nature. Its easy to spend big money to keep everyone afloat, what's more difficult is paying that back. There will have to be big tax increases and cuts to public services. I wonder if everyone will be as happy with him then
I feel like you can't really blame him for the financial issues during Covid-19
Ofc you can't, why would anyone?
Not him specifically, but you can blame the governments of the world for not putting proper legislation in place to prevent hedge funds be over leveraged as it's now revealed many are.
Just as you couldn't blame Gordon Brown for the world crash in 2007, but people do........mostly Tory...
@@macklee6837 because some people are too dogmatically set in their views to take into account crucial context when it comes to the policy of an opposing party. As a Labour voter, all I can say is that I'm glad Sunak has rolled out this financial support package. It's a necessary expenditure during a period of crisis. Not every voter who opposes the Tories would be willing to give him that credit, however.
No, but when all this mass of printed money, for spending with no production, creates Zimbabwe style hyperinflation people will be quick to blame him.
He’s doing very well, good man, he uses his brain.
He hasn't got his own brain. It's owned.
@Seymour Crack vhat u mean boss
Seymour Crack how? What negative thing has he done, I’m interested.
Martin Gonzalez by the economy?
He his a tax dodging crook off shore banking.
Rishi, we Indians living in India and UK are proud of you. We salute your efforts in current crisis.
Pratik Shah ew
Hope Rishi will become the UK PM one day but its funny, in India, RSS/BJP racially abusing Sonia Gandhi and her children because Mrs. Sonia Gandhi is originally from Italy.
I’m British and you lot should be proud one of the few politics who will be admired
Sachin Pandit because I’m not a fan of nationalism you want me to piss off 😂😂😂
@@TheMathewAjay there is a huge difference bw India's politics and British politics
Indians where you are, serve that country to your maximum limit,
deepak rao Hello There, he is just an Indian origin British and he is born in Britain and he holds a British citizenship and u kind of people stop blaming and commenting on Indian-Britain is not correct better ask a Indian citizen holding a Indian citizenship and a Indian politicians ok stop mixing Indian origin foreigners as an Indians because they are only Indian origin foreigners not Indians any more
except india, lol.
he is not indian... he is born to indian immigrants and hindu... that doesnt make him indian
@@MrThekaladhar 100%
He can never be Prime Minister of the UK.
I think he is the future PM of UK love from 🇮🇳🙏🕉🇮🇳
@king baldwin why?
It can't happens
It happened
Now he is
This man deserves credit he’s pulled Britain right out the sh*t
No. He's putting in the sh*t.
Oh really??? The worst cost of living in 40 years is " getting us out of the sxxx" ?? You are not from this planet are you
Breaking news:
Price of everything shot right up, including taxes.
This statement hasn't aged well has it ?
How about now? Waging war on the poor again.
Of course you can't have a payrise plebs, we need to curb inflation, say the MP,s who promptly then give themselves over £2k a year payrise. Oh poor dears, they work hard and you plebs dont
He’s doing better than anyone did
Das rayciss!
He is a visionary man. UK in right hands.
The best thing I like about British people is if you are good at something they will give you the opportunity. No matter what your religion colour race is.
Can you repeat this to all the England-haters who think we're "racist" to Meghan Markle?
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 she is your royal family
It's the financial conquerors of Britain who have implemented mass immigration against the will of native Brits. It has nothing to do with the British people who are being forced out of neighborhoods they've lived in for centuries, who's daughters are being mass groomed by foreigners, who's tax money is stolen & given to people who hate them, & who are rapidly becoming a minority in their own nation.
Even.more true about America.
@@kalpitagarwal5498 no she is not Royal by blood 🩸 she only married into it ,
I think we are looking at the 1st ethnic prime minister in UK. This man puts the country he lives in 1st, not like the labour party. Corbyn, Diane Abbott, and many more are more interested in the citizens of other countries. Hindus in UK are in most parts hard working, do not cause trouble. I love how colourful the women dress, not morbid.
I've seen him take more action than Boris
A statue takes more action than Bojo.
He is making more headlines than boris.
I really like him, a very intelligent man
Seymour Crack well thats the whole point, hes another politician as thats his job; id be more concerned if he wasnt ‘another politician’ tbf
Just cause someone throws money into your begging cup doesn't make that person intelligent.
Innocent XIV Well he managed to get into and complete a PPE degree at oxford and then a masters at stanford so I doubt he’s that stupid
@@MarcusCato275 You prob are a set 8 youth
@back of the net Made no sense at all.
Mr Rishi sticks to his word, that's what I like him. Well done Rishi. Serving public with trust is important as a politician.
Too bad his party is the exact opposite of what you mention
He is a crook that as lined his own pockets he knowingley works along side MPs using off shore banks to avoid paying tax. He is corrupt.
A year later....
The man a theft claims 30k a year to heat is second home warm wile people are dieing of cold children to and taking the taxpayers money to pay for lighting and heating
His wife has shears in a IT company in Russia so why has her bank account not been frozen
Definitely a future PM.
@YO YO MOFO Actually is a good idea he's going to have a good understanding of economics, than someone who just spends there whole life debating with there philosophy degrees.
Bulbous Morania I’m going to pretend I didn’t read that
@@theotryhard8651 their*
@Bulbous Morania man u are racist, wake up
you Tories think everything is about money it’s sad really
I love how British Indian relations have evolved for good from the dark history.
Love to the UK🇬🇧🇮🇳
Just because he's got Indian ancestry?!
@@dparamful He is not indian he don't represent us. He was born in britain and he is british. If you don't want to call him british its up to you but he isn'y indian
How about other countries?
He has nothing to do with India. He's British
He's British you donkey. He was born at Southampton.
Rishi is Charismatic and intelligent, he is definitely a candidate for PM
Absolutely never !!
This didn't age well
No. Not really
@Shubham Upadhyay No chance. The English dont want him. He has been a disaster. So stick your racist little comments elsewhere.
@@itstime6495 What bad thing has he done?
Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
iCummed
He’s had to deal with one of the worst crisis of our time while taking on a new position as chancellor... learning on the job... he’s done brilliantly....wishing Boris a speedy recovery...
Great leader again for UK Parliament 😊😊😊😊
Love from American 😊😊 great personality.
It's funny that some try to say he is just a mouthpiece for number 10 yet his personal popularity is about twice that of Boris.
Its hilarious how the narrator prounce name of his wife and father in law..😀😀
And the poonjab lol
I love this guy, defo getting my vote
I feel like he should be prime minister because I like how he is handling this
You are blind ,you will never know his real personality
a indian future prime minister wow and his dad was a gp doctor lol
this evening in our neighbourhood i was amazing by a spectacular event at 8.00pm, the street was filled with the sounds of clapping ,cheering and fireworks in the support of the hospital staff in these extraordinary time ,truly spectacular
It was kinda annoying tbh
Robin GSNR i watched it on the news i live in Norwich cant lie it brought me to tears was amazing to watch amazing support chanting NHS. NHS workers all over need support at this moment in time now showing respect love was beyond every ones voice spook volumes .
And now they are being sacked LOL this aged well.
@@MrHazzoUK you watch too much fake news ,join the real world
@@rgsnr8702 says the guy who gets his news from the BBC. You don't want this trouble, best shut it.
We will vote for Rishi
He is the future PM of UK
well of course, to be "careful with your money" on a regular basis means you have reserves for an unforeseen crisis such as this.
"you dont bet against a money man" loved that quote.
The dude is sharp and humble.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man...
Great person
Hinduism is a nice religion .. he seems a lovely guy
I love the Hindu culture. I’m married to a beautiful Hindu lady and I’ve never looked back. Rishi Sunak is a great choice as chancellor
@Zayn Mondavi
We don't create trouble throughout the world.
Our culture is focused on study, learning then doing great things in life.
Respect the culture of the country one is living in and try to assimilate fully.
Hinduism isn't a centralised faith so everyone has their own beliefs and practices
Think (hope- because noone really knows how this will end up) we are in safe hands. Cool, calm and thoughtful before opening his mouth. Can you IMAGINE what it would have been like if Corbyn & McDonnel had been in charge? The comparison is startling .
married a billionaires daughter ??????????? wow he must have connections ......
paulosuk79 that’s what I’m thinking lol, and that was before he became chancellor, right?
His father in law is a great man,
Respected very much in India and honest to the core.
His father in law was a simple man and founder a tech company then reach this place
Just fell in love with fellow student at Stanford
@@alixlegend7952 yes it was before he became a chancellor
His father in law is a honest man. Being billionaire still cleans his own toilet.. never eats at fancy five star restaurants..uses his money in rural India for better development .. yes he is none other than Infosys software giant founder Nrayan Murthy.. before opening your mouth pls check the facts ..
When this is all over and the dust settles we will all be paying back the costs of the virusbe it in a higher vat rate or form of income tax
funny no pay increase for key worker for that period but there'll be a tax increase for sure
@@ytcensorship8180 "Key Workers" lol. You chose your job.
@@VVtos174 not everyone chooses their job, some people just dont understand how many other put in job applications for a variety of different roles and job types to get rejected by all of them. Sure you can help get yourself a job by getting additional academical courses completed but that still doesnt guarantee a place in a specific workplace
What do you think 🤔 of course we have to pay
jjamanda hate to say i don't think its goin to be over soon china has a lot more diseases Surfacing .
Why does he look like Roddy from flushed away 🤔🤣
Few weeks into the job and all of a sudden there is a pandemic.
That's just unlucky...
That just an opportunity.....
Decent fella..deserve to be the chancellor..
I like this guy. Hope he runs for PM one day.
Think about it a month and a half ago he was unknown know he is tbh a household name
pretty sure if all these huge international corporations that have been doing business in the UK all these years actually paid their 20% instead of 0.01% - this money being paid out would be a drop in the ocean.
Please just make sure that we dont get charged too much tax once it's all over, if it's not Covid-19 it's going to be the government
Hopefully some hot 18 year old chicks
We should send the bill to China
Your hopes are in vain. Sunak's plans will entail tax hikes. This furlough scheme could cost as much as 84 billion.
Making us proud Rishi 🙏
Us ??
clever man, what we need
No, he's been a fool. Millions put into poverty, by denying any support whatsoever.
@@itstime6495 the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor, no one is ever going to change that.
Wait a second...did you just say Goldman Sachs 😳😳
Such a shame we cannot give appropriate opportunities to the likes of Satya Nadella, Sunder Pitchai and Him..
We Indians need to pressurise our government to create opportunities for such talents to emerge..
P.s I am proud of his achievements too.
This man is a good man if he was ever running for pri minister i would vote for him
3 million denied furlough would nt.
Yeah good in your dreams,even sweet devil is good pretending to be good.
Master manipulator Taurus cold hearted
If he was a good he will not have a party when people are unfortunately sick and dying
Austerity is back on in a big way when this Goldman Sachs knob starts cracking down.
If the self employed can now claim Universal Credit and be bailed out by the government, does that signify that they will be allowed something akin to double recovery (i.e. where the same person receives money for the same "injury" twice) ???
He knows his shit. Boris made a wise decision to replace Savid Javid in this time of crises
Literally Indians are god gifted for their charming personality along with influential talking abilities. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳Proud INDIAN.
Congratulations. I can see him as the next PM.
Never !!
@@itstime6495 it's happening now
Chaos is a ladder…
Chancellor Sunak, thank you for the unprecedented financial help although, being self employed, I have not benefited and it looks like I will not before June as per your conditions. However, we all have been clapping every thursday to show our gratitude to the NHS and Social Care staff who are committed to driving Covid-19 out of our and PM Boris' bodies...no conditions attached. In fact, because you did not provide them the money to buy protection kit early, many of them have died! So to show your gratitude to these people and their dead colleagues, I am hoping that when the time comes to give money to the NHS and Social Care staff, you and PM Boris will show your gratitude to them and give them what they need without any conditions attached because they have not attached any conditions to their safety.
He's the man for the job. Next PM in waiting. An intelligent man - he deserves the head of state job.
The Queen is the Head of state.....don't think Rishi qualifies for that....like is wife didn't qualify to pay tax in the UK !!!!!....
Make this man Indian FM.
The what? The "Cowonaviwus" 😂
He must be PM c'mon he save our economic life, during this situation
How has he saved the UK economic life?
If we carry on with this overblown hysteria, it'll plunge the UK into an even darker abyss.
Martin Gonzalez are you even British?
@@hoggarththewisesmeagol8362 A bit racist don't you think? Why can't someone of Spanish descent be a British citizen?
Random Guy Not racist no. Last time I checked, Spaniards were white
@@hoggarththewisesmeagol8362 race isn't limited to colour...
No publicity is bad publicity
Harvey Weinstein?
Future PM for sure.
Only nostre would know
Never, he has caused too much poverty.
If Rishi Sun ak gets to be primeminister and its strong possibility, he will have the establishment out to get him like Dominic Cummings, two very clever people.
big expectations of Rishi Sunak
Great Rishi proud of you as a human being I hope the better will come to you one day, hope One day I will get into a great position in abroad as an Indian origin person
Rishi for PM!!!
And he is the UK PM now!!!
Trial By fire
In the thumbnail he looked like siddharth malhotra 😂
Hope he becomes PM. Although we have differing views, I'm okay with him as long as he's socially liberal and doesn't get rid of the NHS.
The rise??? Where is he now didn't hear from him again
That day has come.
Seems like a great guy tbh
He memorised Gheetha
Everywhere is just Rishi Sunak these days...😪
It surely helps if u r the son in law of a multi billionaire
Ex-banker from the GFC who left for politics. Nice.
So?
Love for Rishi from India 🇮🇳.
Would absolutely love to see an Indian prime minister in my lifetime. But you have to feel that there are forces at work that would not allow this, particularly from the left.
They have them in India. Go there.
Let Boris finish his Term, there is this war that need to be sorted and the brexit concerning the dependency need to be sorted as well.
Let he finish All that and then that's him and a new leader fir the conservative party and a New PM, Mr Sunak.
A bit of patience and everything will be ok.
Pm in waiting
Rishi Sunak should have simply sent, every adult in the UK (every UK citizen) who earns less than £50K a nice cheque (e.g. £375 / week or £1500 / month) for each week / month of the lockdown.
The first cheque should have been sent out, on day 1 of the lockdown.
This would have been super quick to administer, with no complex application procedures, etc.
Everyone has bills to pay !!!
Where’s all that money coming from again? Also what about the people who are already on benefits, surely they don’t need more benefits, and what about the people that are still going to work and getting paid, they don’t need the money.
He is trying his best but it’s not easy manage it’s worldwide situation
We all love you Rishi. Indian Guji sooo intelligent and chrismatic man. He is a chancellor and he definitely knows what he is talking about. He is more liked then Boris. He has thousands of followers in short time of being a chancellor. I am very proud of him. He is the best man for the job. Keep up the good work. He is an asset to this country, most Indian people contribute to this country in best possible way. God Bless Rishi Sunak.
He is a liar. 3 million denied support are not wrong.
he'd do a better job than orange face across the pond
Absolutely 👍🇬🇧 “let’s get brexit done”
Interesting video
Rishi Sunak is too good for words. So well spoken articulate and with depth. So eloquent too. One cannot base on colours or religion as long as he is capable that matters most of all. He looks very promising to be the next PM.
Well its gr8 that he's saying to live within our means its what I've always said, I also agree with what hes said about setting out money for covid 19 that why we need money left over for an emergency plus hes Indian who better to not recklessly spend lol

Is that true those rumors going about his relationship over Moderna Vaccine and Hedge Funds involvement with a UK's leading Banking group...
He is now the PM as you envisioned

Dont let no one brushes you sweep thwm out of track rish
Reading the comments here I can tell 98% of people have no clue how the financial and banking system works and how unlimited QE will impact the UK.
