Coming from a man with several hundred million in a bank account…plus the tax dodging wife’s ill gotten gains comes as little compensation does it?
Hold their nerve? Is he serious? People are struggling to hold on to their homes nevermind their nerves! He’s so privileged even his most basic advice is just insulting ignorance.

That’s okay to say, coming from someone with three quarters of a billion pounds to their name.
If Rishi can do it we can all do it!!!
Oh wait, he was worth more than some towns.
Why is it so hard? Just do what he did and marry into a family worth billions…
As if people were calm before this latest rise. My food bill has gone up by nearly £10 in a year and that is with me cutting out all treats too. I am a single guy and can weather that but I cannot imagine how people with families and mortgages are coping with all this. Many are rightly going to be petrified of losing everything they have worked so hard to obtain. People should have to hold their nerves because the government want to protect themselves and the rich at the expense of everyone else.
It’s cash people need to pay mortgages and bills, and not more weasel words from failing politicians.
My nerve is holiding, but if you physically dont have the money, the bank will take your house. Fuck all to do with nerve my monied friend.
I’m just going outside now to bang some pots and pans to get through this new crisis. Wait, is the pan thing for all crises?
It reveals how out of touch he and his venal party are.
Although, anyone with the slightest clue knew that already.
“I know people from all walks of life… well, not working class people”
Don’t worry.
Tories will take your home once you can’t pay. Then charge you 5 times your mortgage rate for rent.
With that much in the bank he’s only gaining from higher interest rates. Hold on to what you prick
What does this actually mean? What does not holding your nerve look like in this context?
Having fear about the future is kind of the purpose of raising rates, to curb inflation.
Mr. Sunak’s “hold your nerve” advice shows a startling disconnect from the reality that ordinary homeowners and businesses are grappling with. “Stick to the plan”, he says, but the plan is bleeding us dry and stoking the engine of the biggest wealth transfer we’ve seen in decades. The BoE keeps tightening the screws with constant interest rate hikes that are doing little to tame inflation but are great for pushing people and businesses into the red.
What’s becoming increasingly clear is that this isn’t really about controlling inflation. It’s about asset stripping the middle and lower classes while corporate behemoths post record profits. Rather than targeting those who have unfairly benefited from the pandemic and geopolitical tensions, it’s the ordinary people, already struggling with a cost of living crisis, who are bearing the brunt of these policies.
All while we are reassured that “the plan will work” and we “will get through this”. Through what exactly? Losing our homes, shuttering our businesses, and surrendering our assets to the “upper quartiles”? It’s a plan alright, but it sure doesn’t seem like one that serves the interest of the many. Instead, it provides a perfect storm for the rich to swoop in and snatch up repossessed properties and bankrupt businesses at bargain basement prices.
But hey, maybe if we “hold our nerve” long enough, we can watch the entire middle class evaporate. Now there’s a plan we can believe in. Apparently…
So the cure for inflation is to take money from mortgage and rent payers to give to the banks?!?! The same banks we bailed out a few years ago.
Yeah right Rishi you Cunt.
You ‘hold your nerve’ when you invest in some shares that lose value for a bit even though you believe in their long term returns. When you are struggling massively to pay your bills, ‘holding your nerve’ has got fuck all to do with it
That’ll still leave you with over £500m so you might just make it too?
Cheers Rish, whole country is fucked. I’ll just hold my nerve shall I? Basically think he is saying it is going to get much worse before it actually doesn’t get better, it is just getting worse. Enjoy the ride,!
Recently, and I’m not sure why, I keep thinking about late-18th century France.
I’ll see if my landlord accepts nerve as payment, or if Lidl will accept it for my weekly shop. If not I don’t quite know what to do with all the nerve I’ll be holding.
Will the bank be holding their nerve when their customers can’t pay? I doubt it somehow. Little of this is Sunak’s fault, but such ill-thought comments don’t help his case.
Chuck me some of your incredibly hard earned millions and aye I’ll sit tight for you.
I think a lot of people would urge Rishi Sunak to call a general election.
“Don’t panic”
hmm surely this couldn’t make people panic
The Prime minister giving me the same sort of advice i’d expect from Crypto Bros and /r/wallstreetbets

Hey tories. Gimme 1/1000th of Sunaks [net worth](https://www.politics.co.uk/reference/rishi-sunak-net-worth-2/) and then maybe I could “hold my nerve”.
That’ll still leave you with over £500m so you might just make it too?
