“I’ll run the economy like Thatcher if I win Tory leadership” says Sunak

  1. What a stupid statement. The world has changed since the iron lady. Another attempt to catch voters cheaply and wrongly. Another lie like brexit was built upon. Disgusting for a potential future PM.

  2. There isn’t much left to sell off, but I’m sure Rishi will do his best.

    He’s already been doing the rounds of his US business mates to drum up interest in purchasing the NHS.

  3. > Ms Dorries shared claims online that the Sunak camp had lent votes to Jeremy Hunt, the former health secretary who is seeking the leadership, saying it amounted to a “stitch-up” and “dark arts”.

    Far-right polticians are always projecting, so this is tantamount to an admission.

  4. Thatcher was an awful human being but economically she was pro-Europe unlike Sunak or the other runners, or the modern Tory party in general, so it’s all just bullshit rhetoric.

  5. Planning to use the cops as his own personal army, setting shields and batons against those who disagree with his economic policies?

  6. It tells you all you need to know about the Tories as a party when ‘that’ is the kinda thing you need to feed them with to be seen as a positive.

    He’s appeasing his colleagues – he’d never dare address the nation with such a nonsensical claim.

  7. So.. he’ll embark on a failed moneterism experiment, and hike unemployment to over 3 million by raising interest rates to force a recession.. then start a credit-fuelled bubble that crashes a few years later. Can’t wait!

  8. Jesus Christ, what is with this Thatcher fixation. Are we incapable of critical thought, or thinking of something, anything else?!

  9. Imagine coming out with this during a cost of living crisis when our industries are being destroyed by Brexit. It just shows the type of conservative voices he is appealing to in the party, and what hellscape they intend to create.

  10. So… Into the ground in the first few years? The *early* Thatcher years were miserable because she thought unemployment and poverty were worth it if the end result was reform.

  11. …because that’s really going to win over red-wall voters isn’t it Rishi?

    Also, weren’t you the chancellor? You know, the person in charge of the economy? Why didn’t you do that before?

    FTFY

  13. Might as well. We already have the strikes and the possibility of gas rationing this winter, so we are pretty close to Thatcher’s economy.

    The man is a multimillionaire and he was always going to protect his mates at our expense. At least this way he is being open and honest about it.

  14. Tone deaf rich kid once again chooses to destroy millions of loves if he wins. Fixed it for you Rishi lad.

  15. _”After our last PM was so bad he was forced to resign in disgrace, I intend to emulate another PM who was so bad she had to resign in disgrace.”_

  16. Man says he will fix the broken economy, after running said broken the economy for the past few years.
