As someone asked before: why wouldnāt Hunt be in the running? I said a Remainer wouldnāt win, but thinking about it not everything is about Brexit any more, and Hunt had recently been keeping distance between himself and Johnson.
I think heās a chance. What are his skeletons?

While he could conceivably win a leadership vote, I think he guarantees a Labour win in the next GE if he is PM

I said they would be insane to go with Sunak. I didnāt say they wouldnāt.

If she wins at least weāll have enough cheese.
The quality of candidates is honestly shocking.
I take it you are referring to me.
Ok, so out of interest what were you suggesting with your post? You clearly identified your āToryā friends in your statement.
N.b. I think you need to be a bit more respectful in your responses. Rather than say I need to learn to read, dressed up with a smiley face, why donāt you try and explain where you feel I have misunderstood.

So, apparently thereās a songā¦ 
Googling the phrase did reveal this beauty.
Words to live by.
Liz Truss, the woman who once did a speech about the benefits of Brexit because of the increase in sales on porkā¦ Turns out sheās been porking her way through the cabinet as well. Not just Kwasi Kwateng by the sounds of it.
I have at no point defended anyone for avoiding paying their taxes. My annoyance is that the rich, by employing accountants find means of minimising their Tax exposure. Is it wrong? No! Morally yes! They are merely working the system that is in place.
I believe we actually agree in the same principle. Where maybe we differ is in the fact I struggle to relate to people who are surprised/offended by this practice

Might just be rumoursā¦ but nothing surprises anymore.!!
The thing you are not understanding is that Rishi Sunak is not āmerely working the system that is in placeā. Literally his job was to be responsible for the exchequer. Itās his system.
Because he is responsible for the tax regime, it is indefensible for him to be exploiting its loopholes.

Its the hypocrisy.
Its cheating or working against the system they are meant to be protecting and providing confidence in. Its like a cop undermining the rule of law, a teacher providing the answers to an exam, or a highway engineer driving with chains on his tires.
Sunakās role at its heart, is ensuring everyone pays their fair share to provide services to us all. If his personal values do not align with that. How can we trust him to act in the publics best interests ?
Its similar to the pub landlord who got the PPE contract, using contacts. The integrity of Hancock comes under question. Nothing illegal appears to have occurred (although again dubious).
The integrity (or lack of) is highlighted in This series of tweets.

Hang onā¦he thinks that correction is better? Wow, what a vote winner that is. Well, considering this will be decided on by the ultra-wealthy Conservative members then it probably is.
This Tory party just cannot help themselves from kicking the poor at every opportunity. Of course the public sector hasnāt been dismantled over the last decade of Tory rule so thereās plenty of scope to butcher it.
