The usual icon used by the extremes is George Soros. I don't think the Americans use Musk or Bezos nearly as much if ever.
why did you guys allow this, now all indian media is going to pretend this is a national achievement
We didn’t. Our new PM was ‘elected’ by 170 people.
Modi and RSS stans will claim they are personally responsible for Sunak and this is the start of Akhand Bharat
There was no vote
This should seem obvious but isn't. Doesn't matter your race and ethnicity, the reality of living day to day where you worry about money and watch what you spend effects you and your family as a working class white person the same way it does as a working class Asian person. The perceived ethnic difference, while may exist culturally, is a construct when applied to the economical aspects of a community.
This was my experience, but the corollary of the argument of course is that rich South Asian people can have more in common with rich white people than they do with poor Asian people.
Economic realities and class will determine outcomes moreso than culture or race.
People that you elected. Not you individually, but collectively.
I think overall this is probably right, but it’d be naive to think that race and culture doesn’t have a significant impact. For a white individual? Less so. But for a minority? I still think the overall population has a significant enough subset that they wouldn’t vote for them.
Why?
Cause wokey's hate words like man, woman, table
Because the words man, woman and mother don’t actually require protecting unlike the NHS, the environment, real-term wages, affordable mortgage rates, food, energy and rent costs and Ukraine - so my personal opinion is making bullshit claims to stoke a culture war that causes harm to individuals rather than focussing on important shit that actually matters all to court votes from nasty vile cnuts makes him a nasty vile cnut. Thanks for asking though.
Certainly economic realities. Not sure about class. Even though I detest the Tories and what they have done to this country, in the event that we don't get the necessary GE, I hope that Sunak can stabilise the economy for all our sakes.
Spot on.
If you're looking for protection of the economy, you shouldn't be listening to Sunak.
I don't see how any politician /economic professional who supported brexit can be a 'good economist'.
Perhaps knowing we'd inevitably need an IMF bailout is smart?
It's like Jim Henson designed a real life muppet
Okay…and how does this have any relevance to you asking why he’s a cnut for saying he’s protecting the word mother?
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Rishi has apparently ruled out an early election.
Buckle up Britain, we're stuck with the cnuts.

Christ, that zoom in on Truss scared the crap out of me.

It's never going to end.
I love tweets you immediately think must be satire but then aren’t.
I'm re-watching Blackadder, it's like they actually studied and took Hugh Laurie's aristocrat prince character as real life.
This Rishi fella is possibly the whitest non white person of all time is he? Dutch TV just did a profile on him
oh my god, listening to James O'Brien, a Boris fan on mums net has written an "ode to Boris" poem.
Yeah, that’s goes in accord with specific studies as well: aspiration and nurture >> nature in so-called first world (which also explains why prominent tories from minority background are such despicable characters).
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but as a non-brit i have to ask
How the feck can the Tories still be taken seriously, never mind actually having sizable support after the complete and utter clusterfeck these last years have been?

Was a troll post supposedly
well that's a shame.
People here are selfish.
The one silver-lining here is, it will be pretty funny to see the Daily Mail have to back an Asian bloke in the next GE (if he lasts that long).
A very posh upper class Asian... but still.

House prices.
I guess they blame it on a combination of covid, Boris' behaviour and Truss's incompetence. Rishi will have two years to steady the ship and get things relatively back on track. I think if he avoids any major controversy and doesn't call an early general election, he at least has some time to close the gap, throw in a popular policy or two and people will start taking them seriously again.
