Rishi Sunak asked if he ever ‘lies awake at night’ worrying about UK inequality

  1. Rishi Sunak just pathologically can’t be wrong. I’m starting to sense a pattern with these privately educated faux leaders.

  2. I imagine Rishi Sunak probably sleeps [like this](https://www.timesofisrael.com/sleepy-haifa-boar-becomes-internet-star/) in 10 Downing Street think about inequality.

    >Rishi Sunak responded: “I want to make sure that we can reduce economic inequality and spread opportunity, and I’m pleased that we are making progress on that.

    I can’t think of a single opportunity this government has given anyone who isn’t already rich. Tory “leveling up” was a cruel joke, education has suffered a fair bit with wealth gap inequality growing in educational attainment.

    The problem is poorer people are far less economically active. Meaning they don’t invest in the “opportunities”, can’t pay for education and training, can’t afford to travel far for work, can’t start a business or any other self-improvement investment. Tories struggle to understand this.

  3. Of course he doesn’t, it’s hard to stay awake when you’re sleeping on a bed made of money.

  4. Such a dumb question. Obviously he doesn’t, and this question or answer will not be remembered. Really pin him down with something he can’t squirm out of.

  5. Sunak could be put on a plane to Rwanda tomorrow and he would have a problem – all that money ensure there are no difficulties which can’t be got rid of.

  6. He just worries that there’s already too much equality in the UK. But then he swims around in his Scrooge McDuck money pool and feels much better about it.

  7. ‘My sleep habits are hardly relevant’, next question.

  8. >I want to make sure that we can reduce economic inequality and spread opportunity, and I’m pleased that we are making progress on that.

    So…..this is Rishi referring to Rishi, his family and his best pals, right?

    Certainly isn’t anyone I’ve seen or am aware of, that’s for sure. I’m sat here looking at the rise of fuel, supermarket prices, my rent, council tax, vehicle insurance, electric/gas, water bill……

    Have my wages gone up? Nope.
    Have I been granted relief or any kind of better help to raise my offspring as a single parent? Nope.
    Do I have any faith I’ll ever be a homeowner or save enough to get a deposit? Nope.
    As above, for my offspring when they’re older? Nope.

    It’s just stirring the cup around – same stuff, same problems, only now it’s worse than before and getting colder and less palatable.

    Tories and Rishi in particular will fade into obscurity, having faced zero justice or accountability for their part(s) in fleecing the country and lining their pockets, inequality will increase further and Britain will just devolve further and further.

  9. “Labour shoved all the funding into deprived areas and that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that”

    – Rishi Sunak

    I hardly think he’s going to lose any sleep over his life’s work

  10. He does but only cause he thinks there’s not enough

  11. I believe he does lie awake at night, but only thinking about how to make even more money from his private investments – and making sure the public doesn’t know about it.

  12. I think hearing his answer is important. Rishi replied:

    “No. It is something we’ve really delivered on in the last 13 years. I sleep soundly knowing that inequality is present and thriving. No longer do we need to worry about poor people enjoying the same access the society we do. Soon the poor will be in work houses where they frankly belong”

  13. Rishi: “I sleep well because my mattress cost more than a house”

  14. It must be quite easy to sleep soundly when you’re lying on an enormous mattress stuffed full of party donors’ used tenners.

  15. He’s a millionaire, everything is fine in his world.

  16. Answer: no, One of the most free countries in the world. Free is better rush equal.

  17. “Only because it’s hard to sleep with the raging hard on I have from pummeling the poors.” – Little Rishi

  18. What a nasty soul. I wish I could be surprised, but it’s a pattern. He lost my vote way back.

  19. Why would he? Inequality of opportunity has been farming for decades and inequality of outcome is the sign of a healthy system of government – communism really really doesn’t work.

    People with higher dive, intelligence, ability, and experience will likely earn a lot more than those with lower drive etc. That’s a very good thing.

  20. He might be losing sleep over his diminished reputation but that’s about it.

  21. I’m actually glad I don’t participate in this nonsense. No man could even try to rule this earth.

  22. He loses sleep thinking about how can can make inequality worse, and squeeze more money out of the poor

  23. No I’m richer than all the other thieves in the Tory party.

  24. I’m sure he’s very concerned about the working class. Well, not the working class…

  25. wealthy people have to subjugate others in order to stay wealthy, they can only stay at the top if others can be forced to work for them

  26. Nice ammo for Labour. It’s not a lie to stick this on a billboard and just have one huge big fat NO as his quote.

  27. How about worry about national security, no quality of life without the safety to live your life free of the fear of annihilation from others. I will put safety over worrying about inequality whatever that means.

  28. He lies awake at night because he’s excited about how he can make more people worse off the next day.

  29. Thing is though they’ll just tax the successful businessman, headteacher or senior doctor more because they are sitting ducks and easy to milk.

    The real problem is the very top ingrained wealth not hard working smart people.

  30. Doubtful, probably falls asleep on sheets of his wife’s money

  31. If you’re a billionaire involved in the financial industry, why would you get into politics? I know these people have no shame but why put yourself in a position of being prime minister if you’re Sunak when it requires lieing to the nation daily? The only conclusion i can come to is that lieing to the nation was one of the reasons he was most up for it. I don’t buy the ego of being prime minster, or making the rich richer directly when indirectly it happens anyway. I get that if you’re prime minster that’s a currency you can trade on for the rest of your life, maybe i underestimate the amount of doors that open, but the last thing billionaires want is to be known, so having to appear at these committees and pretend will be agonising for many of them.

    I probably underestimate the inevitability of forward motion as how their mind works, so prime minster is just another step to take. These are the least curious and perceptive people. Also probably underestimate how intertwined politics and business is that going into politics is just what you do.

  32. I imagine it haunts him, just how can he squeeze more pennies out of the poor to help float his wife’s investment firms? He probably wakes up in a cold sweat every morning that the dreams don’t inspire new methods to exploit us.

  33. He more likely wanks himself to sleep every night thinking about wealth inequality
