Ouch. So much for the guaranteed successor to Johnson who’d prove to be a bigger threat to Labour.
There’s absolutely no chance Tory MPs will let Sunak become leader now, given the shine’s absolutely vanished.
Honestly the fact that a few million bunged to media and PR companies can create such a false impression of an important individual in the public perception is quite worrying in the first place.
Seems Johnson is taking out his challengers, Sunak taking the hit from the budget, and Truss being saddled with the mess of the new Section 28 v2 (which considering she was styling herself as Thatcher 2.0 a second ago is so on the nose). Looks like slim pickings from the produce section for anyone looking to back an attempt at his position – just a lot of potatos.
Is there anything to the rumours that Johnson is about to replace him? Something about Kwarteng doing a good job and a bit of a reshuffle will take the heat off?
The guy has just introduced a tax hike during a major cost of living crisis effectively making said crisis worse. Hardly surprising that his popularity has tanked.
Ohh hes less popular now.. there must have been a vote or something..
These will still be classed as his ‘golden days’. There is still some good distance to go before he hits rock bottom.
But fear not folks, Rishi will give it his best shot to get there.
Good. It’s shocking how easily people fell for his nice man facade. All it took was a picture of him in a hoody and discounts on McDonalds for people to decide he’s their new best friend
It doesn’t matter to Rishi because even when his political career is over he’ll still always be stinking rich
“For the first time ever, Rishi Sunak is less popular than Keir Starmer”
Imagine waking up to that headline. Good job he can turn over to his billionaire wife.
For someone who didn’t get furloughed and still worked throughout the pandamic. I don’t know why he was so popular to begin with.
I don’t understand how he was ever popular. He is an empty shell in a suit with no meaningful ideology or vision for the country.
I think the media class liked him because of that exact reason and so normies who consume MSM just kind of fell in line.
But something something crypto mumble NFTs mumble “look at me, I know about tech” (yeah right). Bound to cause a bounce back /s
Turns out if you use your money to buy your way into power but still act like an arsehole then eventually your paid PR stops being effective.
To be expected, no? Given the lame petrol reductions and doing diddly squat about high energy prices
We knew this was going to happen years ago. The minute he started taking away the money he had given out, the people would turn on him.
Just so happens that he’s also a corrupt, millionaire with massive conflicts of interests. It just made his fall all the more impactful.
Sunak: “Heres loads of money so you can prop up the economy while we deal with the first pandemic in a hundred or so years”
Public: “This Sunak guy is minted weyhey let’s stay out of work and earn money”
Sunak: “Ok so heres a tax so we can help the NHS get back on it’s feet”

Isn’t this a good thing for big dog? It is he has higher chances of winning the next election otherwise it would be Rishi.
Maybe learn how to literally use money before doing photo ops.
The “hello squire can I have 6 packets of petrol for my (definitely not borrowed) Kia please?” isnt a good look.
What the fuck was he expecting, rat faced back stabbing class warfare gaslighting prick, multimillionaires ought to go through a reality check test before they enter Parliament so we’re sure they have integrity for the countries sake cause how out of touch not just sunak but the lot of them are is off the charts fucking ridiculous.
As soon as his usefulness to his wife’s family is over so will his marriage
Was there any sane person that actually liked this cunt?
Shocker, a formally little known UK politician explodes into the public consciousness, riding a wave of patriotism as we unify against the pandemic, experiences unbelievable public support.
Only to have that support collapse after two years as covid wears down public affection and as there is more time for gaffes and exposure to his general mediocrity.
I don’t really know enough about him to go one way or the other, but this was always going to be the result of these circumstances.
It’s not the policies he’s implemented that’s really done it for me (although it hasn’t helped). At the end of the day his power only goes so far.
It’s the smugness and wearing really expensive clothes that has made me despise him.
Guess he’ll have to console himself with a Mr Burns-esque money fight
This is Boris Johnson and his minions throwing Sunak under the speeding bus.
The British Asian community is small…and talkative.
I don’t know him personally, but let’s just say I’ve heard through a childhood friend that he was a scumbag at university.
His approval ratings were sky-high because of the furlough scheme, and that turned out to be more of a Philip Hammond idea that he borrowed.
Sunak was favourite to succeed Boris Johnson, now I’m pretty sure it’ll be Truss.
As always, when there’s a series of stories about one politician, mostly bad.
Who benefits and why now?
Good. Hopefully that means they won’t put him forward to be next pm
He’s very sly
I thought at first what a nice Indian descent bloke. Now I know he’s another Eton c.
Pint size Rishy and his tax dodging wife, what a duo!
His huge problem is zero charisma.
He would never have made the grade I suspect – even the Tories are racist as fuck and never would he get through as PM with the membership.
His UC uplift withdrawal and mini-budget fiasco effectively finished him off, not that there was much of substance beforehand.

No, a spent force.
