  1. As much as I’m enjoying this all play out there’s an argument that we might see more tax cuts and help as a means of deflection in the coming days which will ultimately be good for people at this sort of time. After all, you either leave gracefully (unlikely) or try and buy some love with the public

  2. Smart – he’ll always have that on his C.V, and might well get to keep the position once Johnson is ousted next week.

    Presumably he had his resignation letter in his pocket just in case.

  3. It makes no difference, since his administration is collapsing, he will have to resign sooner than later (referring to Bozo) like a raw/painful wound

  4. So during a cost of living crisis, the fella who has a combined wealth with his wife of ~£730m, has been succeeded as chancellor by someone who claimed his stables heating bill on expenses. Glad to see the country’s economy will remain in the hands of people who understand the difficulties the rest of us are facing.

  5. Boris is desperate. This guy goes to ground for hours and then suddenly turns up at No. 10 and is made Chancellor? This was an offer to stop him from resigning.

  6. Me as a teacher: YEEES, HAVE HIM! TAKE HIM!!!

    Me as a person who lives in this country and has to spend money here: … fuck.

  7. This guy doesn’t have a background in economics or finance. It’s definitely an “interesting” choice

  8. I’m remembering Malcolm Tucker’s line when he’s trying to find a new DOSAC leader.

    “If she says no, the only other candidate will be my left bollock with a fucking smiley face drawn on”.

  9. Interesting sky didnt mention he bribed Johnson into giving him that position by threatening to resign. Says it all about that slimey individual

  10. Johnson: Please please pretty please someone be my next chancellor!

    …….

    Johnson: Someone? Anyone??

    …….

    Johnson: Oh come on I’ll let Carrie give you oral in your office 🙏

    Zahawi: Oh ok then……!!

  11. Why on Earth would anyone with even a quarter of a brain accept a position as First Officer on the Titanic?

  12. Ah yes, a sleazy unqualified yes-man is exactly who we need to stave off a recession and massive inflation. The overlaps between the national economy and education…. Perfect man for the job. When half your party doesn’t support you, those vaguely qualified for the roles quit, and only cronies left to appoint, how in good conscience (lol, I know, he has none) can Boris claim to be acting in the best interests of the nation by clinging to power?

  13. The Tories are fast becoming the Monty Pythons where they want to take your banana and attack you with it.

  14. Anyone else slightly shitting themselves due to the fact we’re heading for a recession with *this* government and *this* chancellor?

  15. So in the wake of Chris Pincher being a gropy prick at an all men’s club, Boris has appointed a man who once attended a men only dinner with scantily clad waitresses who had to tweet a condemnation of groping to save face after it transpired the waitresses were treated like pieces of meat all night.

  16. Nadhim Zahawi is a Kurd (British but Kurdish background), I also don’t think he’s ever said a word about what’s going on in Rojava. I mean, yeah sure, you’re British, but even English people have said more.

  17. Lmfao and he’s immediately backstabbed BJ.

    Did he see something in the government’s balance sheets that spooked him?

  18. This dodgy fkr say’s his family landed in the UK with £50, my arse, says he had little or no money yet someone lends him 30 million to start his property empire, yer ok Nadhim I hold my hands up mate it’s true were all fkg thick in the UK, this bloke his family and connections needs investigating and not by his mates
