If The Mirror think schoolyard tactics are going to work to turn self serving politicians against the hands that feed them, they should probably reassess their strategy. Pride does not come before profits for this lot.
Jesus is that Ed ? That mustard really did a number on him.
As all of them last paid taxes in 2017, it looks a fair assessment…
Ed Miliband with brother David.
‘DELETE DELETE DELETE’
I mean sure too weak, but also afaict he just doesn’t want to
I can see why they’re taking that line, but Starmer and Milliband calling Sunak weak is unintentionally hilarious
Apart from the irony of two weedy swots bullying a younger kid for being a weedy swot, they’re legitimising a line of attack they’ll have thrown back in their faces 12 months from now
I missed the ‘fat’ in your title and was really weirded out that there are ‘cat oil’ firms out there.
The saying: strong against the weak and weak against the strong, sums Sunak up perfectly.
A lot of them are asking to be taxed. The Tories aren’t weak, they are in favour of oil companies making off with vast amounts of cash.
Isn’t this obvious? Every single MP wouldn’t be able to do it.
You can’t expect them to pay their lobbying fees, bribes AND taxes. What kind of world would that be.
Whatever would make you think our prime minister (and government) isn’t on *our* side, but instead aligned with the interests of billionaires, the mega rich and the businesses that feed them their money?
Not that he is too weak it’s that he has hedge funds with them most probably.
I wouldn’t say weak, he’s just giddy with his investment profits
He would make them if the renewables industry could pay him more. Sadly, this is just how politics works and Sunak is just playing the game as it is these days. He will change his mind once the oil firms see their power significantly diminish, however we are still a very long way off that ever happening, so he has no reason to make them pay a fair share of taxes on their profits. Any Tory leader will do the same in the future.
This operates on the naive assumption that Richy Rishi thinks oil firms should pay any share at all.
I think he just doesn’t want to do it.
They should but its not exactly in the conservative playbook.
I’m so tired of this idiotic crusade against BP and Shell profits. Moronic beyond belief. Anyone who brings it up now I just disregard as either being too ignorant to be worth listening to, or if they do know the facts than they are willing to lie for political gain. It’s become a good litmus test to see who is worth listening to. I used to like Ed but sadly he’s just lost all my respect.
>Rishi Sunak is too weak to make fat cat oil firms pay their share
Bribed you mean
Why on Earth would any Tory politician do such a thing? Even a stupid lapdog knows not to bite the hand that feeds.
He’s not weak. He just doesn’t give a shit about the working classes (he’s a millionaire with a billionaire father in law. Why would he?)
Not even the American state can whip the oil multinats into line, what do they want Sunak to do?
