‘The optics of a PM being rained on as he calls this general election is not ideal’

that image of him at the lecturn raining down on him and then stepping away and his back turning toward us and going through the door and the back of his soup jacket is drenched I mean that is I’ll be honest it’s not the image they’re going to want as so it sounds just start I have to say the the Optics of this uh I remember when he did a speech on extremism and it was a last minute thing in Downing street again and it started raining and you know even when we were talking about uh calling a general ction today I I did sort of say uh to some of our colleagues the Optics of a prime minister being Reed on uh as he calls this uh general election is not ideal Optics which is why I thought he might actually uh do it in down street uh he decided not to maybe he could have had someone holding an umbrella but anyway um he has called uh that general election

  1. Sunak: “Labour don’t have a plan”
    PM who couldn’t plan an f**ling umbrella ☔️, or better yet, use the new indoor press gallery on a forecast wet day.

  2. It's hilarious. Hearing "things can only get better" as things only get wetter 😂 that must have dampened his vibe but it's made my day

  3. That minister came out reaching out, testing and disgusted with the rain. Whats the pantomime scene here, what are they up to with the rain nonsense. If this was a flood report in an English county he would be stood in a puddle wearing Dunlop wellies, a Barbour jacket and waxed cap. I reckon he is using the image of Putin in the lashing rain and global community saluting him.

  4. If one thinks Tories are bad,look at 20mph Wales &Presidents Khan in Labour run Londonstan.The remaining indigenous white english speaking population deserves better' than these self enrichment politicians of all parties.
    I wonder how many Tories will win Sunnysnacks Lotto & win money for Life by being crammed into the overcrowded House of Lards?-)
