It's an island. How can they not find anywhere to dock.

Here she is public ally aligning the Tories with Farage.
Oh feck off you Cnut.
All the far-right brexiteer nutjobs claiming to be the poor victims, preparing for when the sheeple finally wake up and realise what they've done to the country.

Basic from where Rishis sitting.Given you need £1m in investments or £3m in savings to be eligible for a Coutts current account, I would hardly describe it as denying someone access to a basic service.

He's right though. Free speech is the cornerstone of our democracy. We should march on the streets in protest against this... oh.
There's an election around the corner, let's drag this ghoul out because Johnson is washed up and we need to drum up a culture war to keep the establishment parties to the right.
He is a "globalist" btw. Man is a millionaire jet-setting, former investment banker. That's what a globalist is.
This is a story about a threat to class status. No wonder Sunak, himself a social climber, has taken the time out to comment. Which just underlines how politically inept he is. I mean really, if you really want to know what a bad politician he is, you couldn't have chosen a better example
I guarantee few people are as acutely aware of the British class system, and its in and out groups, than an immigrant's kid put into a public school.
Yes that’s a beautiful example of social mobility. A boy who despite his tough start in life attending Stroud Preparatory School and Winchester College managed to earn a place at Oxford University and somehow battled the odds and found himself among the upper middle classes.I guarantee few people are as acutely aware of the British class system, and its in and out groups, than an immigrant's kid put into a public school.
The guy can't even use a fecking contactless debit card and needs to pose with someone else's hatchback to come across as "one of us". The only thing he knows about working class people is that he doesn't like them.I guarantee few people are as acutely aware of the British class system, and its in and out groups, than an immigrant's kid put into a public school.
We must mean different things by social climber. I mean someone who is desperate to join a higher class or social group he wasn't born into and might engineer it through connections or marriage. It's not the same as social mobility, it's supposed to be slightly insulting.Yes that’s a beautiful example of social mobility.

I have a single tear in my eye, lump in my throat and courage in my heart after writing that.
Yes a man that was born into the upper middle classes and desperately climbed his way up to the upper middle classes. We’re talking about the same thing.We must mean different things by social climber.

If you mean it as an opportunist, or an arriviste, then fair enough, although I personally disagree, as I think he was born in wealth already.We must mean different things by social climber.

His dad was a GP his mum a pharmacist so paid enough to send kid to public school but he'd have been one of the poorer kids at Winchester I imagine. Hence his siding with the underdog Farage....If you mean it as an opportunist, or an arriviste, then fair enough, although I personally disagree, as I think he was born in wealth already.
So who thinks sunak will still be PM come Monday? Odds quite clear that they've lost all three by elections and so the tory blood letting will be in full force over the weekend...
He'll still be in.So who thinks sunak will still be PM come Monday? Odds quite clear that they've lost all three by elections and so the tory blood letting will be in full force over the weekend...

No chance. They’re losing the next election, what they are doing right now is seeing out all the inquiries and enjoying the grift while they still can. No chance they cut that short.He'll still be in.
What he might do is call an early election mind, damage limitation.
Not sure about that. There was an article in the telegraph the other day about sunak calling an election early to avoid a 1997 type defeat, and it does make sense.No chance.
