He should never have been PM , Hunt shouldn’t be there and neither should Cameron !
WONT BE LONG NOW
So who should be the Tory PM?
@@arctic_hazePOSTMAN PAT couldn’t do any worse 👎👎🇬🇧
Carnt stand Hunt, Grinning Cheshire Cat.
None of them elected.
He's not a good man. He is thin skinned and detests being challenged. Plus some serious questions need to be asked regarding government contracts and his wife's family company.
Exactly she has had £650 million government contracts
@@deborahcoveney8846do you own at least? 😂😂😂
Great astrology
I hope Labour cancel every one of those contracts once they get in to power
@@stevec6427So they can redirect it to champagne socialism? Keep the unions busy while Starmer cozies in his mansion?
The man is useless. The fact that it took him 43 years on this earth to figure it out is a bit of a worry. Greed, ignorance, entitlement and arrogance is a deadly combination
Yeah,he was inclined to repeat ideas from previous leaders but didn't have much unique approach plus relevant analytical endowments Intrinsic to his mindset.
silver spoon mouth
Rishi Sunak made himself a fortune and then became Chancellor and then Prime Minister (and the first Asian Premiere in the whole of Europe.) I’m no fan of his nor of any other member of this awful party. But seriously, you seem like an idiot.
The most protected person in the Uk! Laughing at people who are struggling because of the mess the Tories have put us in, he’s considering bailing out no his pockets are full of tax payers money!
probably never had a childhood,no working class mates!.The mans a LIAR.
We currently have the worse Government in living memory
You wait until Starmer gets in !
They've all been the worst ever since I have been old enough to vote ( born 1961) and I'm sure well before that also!!!!!!!
@@phillipliggins1549Major was worse than Thatcher, yes, Blair was worse than Major, Brown worse than Blair, Cameron I would argue was worse on gay marriage & student grants than Brown but not completely worse on everything..
@@aclark903Cameron was worse on corruption. Perhaps you haven't checked his record.
@@jades5581 I’m no fan of Cameron and never voted for him. And clearly nobody likes austerity. But Brown bankrupted the country. As Labour has done to Birmingham this year. As they usually do, in fact…
He's just in it for himself, family and infosys.
Thats obvious
Umm, remember Blair and his wife
Nobody is listening to Rishi. Nobody is interested. He is totally useless. He should go now.
I'm not sure that it's even him. The party has been exposed as being corrupt to the core.
Like him or loathe him, people did vote for Boris and gave him a big majority - but they pushed him out and held a leadership contest. The finalists were Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss - the MPs preferred Rishi, the party members preferred Liz. So they pushed out Liz and installed Rishi.
It's blatant corruption. Amongst the first things that Liz Truss did was revocation of the IR35 rules, which tbh means nothing to most people. But it does mean something to companies such as Infosys - for them keeping the IR35 rules is very profitable because it means that they can outsource lots of IT work to Indian corporates. But revoke them and there will be more individual IT contractors available in Britain. And it's difficult not to see that there are other deals being made which are of benefit to Conservative top brass and their mates.
People can see that they aren't running the country for us, but for themselves. The problem is that the incoming Labour government will be the same.
Can you fit the bill? 😢
@@venom-yg5kf Yes!
@@paulrimmer391 numb skull
@@paulrimmer391so why don't you stand as an independent and lead the way?
He is not a good man his wife has had £650 million government contracts.
Criminals … he and his wife should be investigate. But then again what would you expect when US and UK are complicit war criminals
He is a very good man to some - crony capitalists, selective war mongers, etc. It would have been good for everybody if he had not been given the top job.
His decision to focus on drilling gas and oil after the family invested should really be investigated.
@@durudadlani1931 AND PLAYING THE WEF GAME GOING ALONG WITH THEIR VILE DE POPULATION AGENDA
He’s just a slimy conman like most political leaders, seems to be a ‘requirement’ on the job spec.
Good? He's staying in power purely to finish an Indian trade deal that will benefit his father in law.
Infosys is his number one priority
Agreed 💯
Husaqvana in county Durham is full of Indian works it's like there have an agreement with the government work here first for your visa paying no tax no national insurance
The India trade deal is gone for now. The Indian government are too busy preparing for elections to be interested in it at the moment. Sunak missed his chance with that one and he was far more interested in it than India were
@@stevec6427 why do you think he didn't want a may 2nd election.
Let the public decide.
Apparently that's against the will of the people
We never got the chance to put him in there in the first place.

Just call a GE.
He keeps saying how Sunak is "a good man". Never offers any evidence though
He’s trying to signal that it’s not personal and he’s being pragmatic but like you said I haven’t seen anything to say Sunak is a good man. If he was he’d put us out of misery, pack himself out of number 10 take his private Jet and go to Silicon Valley where he’d really be happy
@@Grandfinal43 or call a GE, stand for it and give us his message and let the people decide.
Maybe it's that same as when the current Torys call investment bankers "Leftys" because they are so far right to them that's how it looks. Maybe these Torys are also so inhuman and bad that to them Sunak looks like a Good Human....
And the Torys do not deserve the "ies" ending. They are Torys now....
How is raising and raising air passenger duty tax,, on long haul flights good?
How is keeping 40 percent inheritance tax good? How is wasting and giving away £billions good?
Tories OUT!!! NOW!!!!!
A shame the alternatives are barely any different.
@@gdutfulkbhh7537 They are different. Go and read policies from the parties websites rather than the bits that the media pick and choose to tell you
And do you expect them to stand by their policies? Labour have watered down their policies considerably now they have a chance of having to live up to them. @@stevec6427
Calm down take a deep breath. Gosh!!
I'd agree if the consequences of Labour getting in were not actually worse, considerably so. With Starmer et al we are highly likely to end up back in medeval times where were have blashpemy laws returning..... I'll be happy to point out that this will have significant unintended societal consequences if they go ahead with it.
Sunak's obvious lack of self-awareness demonstrates that he is just the wrong man for the job, It doesn't matter if he's a nice man or not, he should just go. and take his party with him.
He's another weasely traitor, like most Tories. There for himself and his crony mates, not for the people of the UK. Traitor, like I said.
AND WORSE STILL DANCING PUPPET TO THE WEF AND AGREES ON THEIR DE POPULATION AGENDA BY 2040 OR SOONER SUNAK AND STARMER ARE MEMBERS SUPPORTERS OF THE WEF TYPE IT IN ASK IF STARMER SUNACK A MEMBER SUPPORTER OF THE WEF AS IS TRUDEUA THEIRE FIRST BEST MAN MACRON SECOND SHULTZ AS WAS BORIS JOHNSTON LIZ TRUSS ETC ETC LOOK IT UP
Too right, they have not a care for this country, they'd sell their own grandmothers to the devil for a couple of quid.
Liars are NOT 'good men'.
A ‘good’ man would have stepped down already.
A good man wouldn't have bullied Boris out of running against him. If he was a good man he wouldn't be PM
@@DS9TREK A good man wouldn’t be a rotten Tory.
Since 2010, the Conservative government have delivered virtually nothing. Austerity was supposed to be a temporary measure but quickly became permanent. Sadly it still rewarded the Conservative victories by gullible voters. The false promise of Brexit nirvana gifted the Tories a few extra years, but now voters have seen that the self-obsessed Tories have turned in on themselves, unable to properly govern the country whilst their concentration is perpetually focused upon their internecine civil war.
Just because you cannot face Brexit, please blame it. We are known throughout the world as being workshy. I have just returned from Singapore and Malaysia and they have no respect for the lack of our work ethic. Wake up and stop blaming Brexit.
'Austerity' never happened. Since 2010, Conservative governments have consistently run budget deficits, not once running a surplus or balancing the books. The UK is deeper in debt now than ever - at least since the Second World War.
@@hudldevice1092 They dont spend wisely, to say the least.
‘Austerity’ used to be called ‘managing public finances’. You shouldn’t perpetually be spending more money than you’re earning, The socialist tax and spend obsession is our downfall. It puts us into the position where we have to obey our debt holders - the global banks, ie the WEF. We don’t do as we’re told? They’ll pull the plug.
Austerity was just an excuse to shrink the state, David Cameron admitted it years later.
Rishi is a lot of things but a good man he is not
Rishi Sunak is a good man - when directly compared with Boris Johnson.
He managed to get the gas contracts signed to secure future wealth for his family, so mission accomplished.
HIS WIFES FATHER IS A BILLIONAIRE MANY TIMES ONE OF THE BIGGEST BUSINESSES
Trouble is none of the sad sacks on the front bench are any better
They are much worse.
@@springchicken893 A joke. Yep, sums the tories up perfectly.
Soon they could sit on the front bench of a train as driver for £100k.
And neither are the rest of 'em !
"I think he knows something isn't going right". Thank goodness we have such insightful politicians.
General election now Britain needs it
Not much changes. Mark my word. 😂😂😂
If we go for a general election now, then we have labour who has promised more of the same. The labour leader couldn't deal with Jimmy Savell, so running a country will prove to be worse than sunak, who I might add, was unelected.
@@venom-yg5kfwrong
@@ciaranmarsh255 oh Ciaran why don't you participate?? 😂😂🤣😭
The fact that he even needs to question if he's 'any good at this' is telling.
we dont want him stepped down ...We want him out the country . . . .!!!
only if he going to a ceretain kind of cell in another country with no human rights .
So, it's a General Election then. No more games of musical chairs. Tories out.
Naa
They know they're going to lose so they may as well hang on, cash in more, and allow it to default to Jan 2025
On what basis has it been decided he’s a good man?! He’s a proven liar, completely out of touch, doesn’t like being held to account and unelected. He should never have been placed in this position
rishi has served his purpose to his masters
Not yet he hasn’t, when the Indian trade deal is done and dusted for his in-laws benefit then he will have served his purpose! Snake, rat and weasel comes to mind when I think of Risky Spewnak.
All those years after Brexit and he brought back Cameron. That shows they learnt nothing. I don't dislike Sunak, but he doesn't understand.
No what it shows is the utter contempt the ruling class have for us.
Ohhh I'm sure they all understand
They understand, they just don't care.
I think Cameron is a good choice as foreign minister. He has nothing to do with domestic UK policy. As a former prime minister he will have some gravitas abroad.
Most observers agree Cameron has done well as foreign secretary.
However, remember that the appointment was intended to strengthen the Government. It has instead make Cameron look good at the expense of Sunak and the rest of his cabinet!
It is yet another example of Sunak not really being that good at politics.

@@melgrant7404Yes. Water is made up of multiple water molecules, and if they've got other water molecules on them, they've got water on them, so water has water on it, so water is wet.

Not really, no
No.
i think your showing decent to tory rule with that kind of talk.
If hes not sure what he is doing wrong perhaps someone could tell him that grinning his way through a Liaison committee, and turning pages before him to find his pre written responses is not a good look.
sunak isn t the problem. the tories are.
Both parties are useless . We need wholesale change . And no reform is not the answer . If people vote for them country deserves to go down the pan after the damage they have done with brexit
I'm sure I could hear a knife being sharpened in the background and a quiet voice asking where the shoulder blades are exactly ... it's how they normally do these things.

Tories wondering why everyone hates them. ..... its a slow motion penny drop.
Why are we being gifted with the "thoughts" of this Montgmerie person whose main role appears to be that of a Rishi Sunak appologist.
Because he's a Tory with a lot of contacts in the party.
Should he not inform us first about the strategic partnership between the WEF and UN for global governance before he goes anywhere?
Is someone somewhere making up very weird conspiracy theories after over self medicating?
Just like Irelands so called leader, jumps ship when the mess is made !
When their plan was going ahead you mean...
Is Rishi really a nice guy as the man being interviewed says. I’m not sure any Tory can be considered nice after the utter mess they have got the country into!
Sunak is NOT a good man. He has no mandate from the people.
He should call a snap general election
It’s not a snap election if it’s called now. It’s election year.
@@ciaranmarsh255 okay he should call an election then, lol 😆
Won’t be long now ,he will go in next 2-3 weeks ,
Rishi is just hoovering up before he goes, gaining contracts and pay outs for himself and his family
People like sunak will never understand the ordinary folk, hes very very rich and he doesnt have to struggle for anything, hes in the wrong job
Do you work in business?
Surely that description applies to most of the prime ministers we've ever had.
He may be rich but he has the brains too. Let's not deny him that. Let's also hope labor does better though it seems highly unlikely.
None of them struggle for anything
@@Abidification Its Labour, not labor
And thanks for being able to see into the future, that's an amazing skill you have there. You must have won a fortune by now
Lets drop the ‘Sunak is a good man’ dross. The ‘Safety of Rwanda’ bill is something that Putin would be proud of.
Just remember to turn the lights out
Will be gone after the local elections in May.

He knows the end game is not in his favour so will be looking for the cowards way out. Typical Tory
like Cameron
Yes he has made his father in law a right few quid. He has changed policy to suit his business interests, and now he will be off to America as he can grift more money there.
The tory corruption did for him.
He wants out. He's got what he's wanted. It was so simple, as a political party, just carry out what your pledges what got you into power.
I don't think he's quite finished plundering the country yet.
It NEVER occurs to them that their policies are wrong. It's just that they haven't cut through to the public. So, they see the answer to everything being more spin and lies rather than actually fixing anything.
For me the key issue is that the Conservatives have swapped leaders a couple of times, presumably, to improve their popularity and public image. That manifests as them thrashing around trying to garner public support through political personalities rather than policy. I am sure most of us would agree that many of the current policies really are not terribly good. Whatever the underlying reasons it is hard to have faith in a ruling party who, after 14 years, are sitting on top of a "cost of living crisis", institutions such as the NHS at its lowest ever ebb, out of control shoplifting, knife attacks etc. One can only see governmental failure. A change of leader will not change the big picture.
I think that the time has come for the Tories to appoint Sam Allardyce as Manager if they are to have any hope of avoiding relegation.
Lol
Really, if he has only just realised this, he is not only useless at politics, but also thick as two short planks.
The two are compatible. Goodnight for the Tories, I do hope.
Starmer, please hold it together till the election. The country needs a change.
Best wishes from George.

Rishi Sunak is not a good man.
The Tory party remind me of the titanic. The members are busy sweeping ice from the decks ignoring that the ship is sinking.
Could not give a dam about the Tory party! I care about this country!!!!! This attitude that the party matters more than the people is everything wrong with Tories…
Re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic 🤣
Cameron and Hunt didn't help him, the 2 most hated men in the Tory party..
No he doesn't get it, he's too rich and privileged to understand or care
Is this an extract from "Have I Got News For You"?
Rishi's off to America anyway.
He could have taken a bit of time to apologise, but no-one voted for him, so there's no one to apologise to.
The best thing he could do now is to make it so that the next incumbent can't hang on for five years.
Right now a bit of "churn" might actually be quite good for the UK.
Sunak a good man! 😂😂😂😂😂
The issue isnt the leader. The issue is the tory government.
Indeed. But they need a scapegoat to hide the truth
It's a bit of both.

WELL NOW WE KNOW WHY OBAMAMA VISITED I TOLD MY HUSBAND LAST WEEK SUNAK WILL GO NOW OBOWS BEEN THE OBEY AN INSTRUMENT WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE TORY PARTY HAS BECOME INSTURMENTS OF DOOM GLOOM
keep quiet Tim, let the public decide if he is a good man or not
The whole party are utterly hopeless. No investment in anything for 14 years and only clueless nonsense like Rwanda. Another public school banker, get rid of him
A wonderful example of the Westminster bubble. To most people in the UK (and abroad if they are interested) changing the leader of the Conservative Party yet again will look like lunacy and might strongly suggest that a party that behaves like this should not be running a whelk stall never mind a contry with a G7 economy.
The problems are not going to be easily fixed regardless of who is in government.
They keep saying that he's a good man!
Really?!
Are they talking about an entirely different Rishi Sunak that I'm unaware of?
Does Tim Montgomerie really think that Boris Johnson would help matters ? Yeah, great idea, send him up North to start campaigning, Liverpool first stop ?
That would be interesting, a zip-wire across the Mersey is being readied as we speak, Scousers do have a great sense of humour.
Tim the dolt.
If he was / is a good man call a general election now!
When you're nostalgic for John Major something has gone seriously wrong in politics
‘He’s a good man ‘ ? What utter drivel !
Sounds like hes trying to convince himself that sunak is a good man ha
If the tories think they can enthrone another PM without going to the country then they are clearly deluded...they may be facing a humiliation now...change leader again and it will be an ELE (watch Deep Impact)
They are not worried about that. Most of them will be out; Après moi, le déluge. They know their pillaging days are numbered so they are focussed on maximizing their personal advantage over the next few months.
Ricky has done the job he was put there for to look after foreign investors and give India English contracts
He is lying he is not a good man
Are you a tarot card reader 😂😂
What is up with Tim Montgomerie's tongue? I can't bear to see him speak!
