That wealth became an issue earlier this year when it was revealed that Murthy used legal but cynical tax minimization practices even as Sunak ran the UK economy as Chancellor of the Exchequer – a gig that entails a sharp focus on ensuring all due taxes are gathered.
Very much citation needed for that last part. I do not think that is what it entails at all, and most particularly with a conservative in there.
They could have thrown in a “nominally”.
“the appearance of” perhaps?

I think that’s covered by “all due taxes”.
Ok, it’s confirmed. The irredeemable fascist bastards are still irredeemable fascist bastards.
I thought she’d quit because she broke the ministerial code? Oh never mind…
That’s fucking bleak. I’m so sorry. You expected him to be a hard right steal from the poor and give to the rich piece of shit but to have relatively sane social policies. Obviously he has decided that party unity requires welcoming in the worst swivel eyed culture warrior bigots into the fold.
The tories are a big-tent party! /s
And now Kemi Badenoch is Inequality Minister. Fuck.
May this cabinet not last as long as the last one, please. I don’t even care if it is an general election or revolution anymore, things are just too fucked up.
I still have a double-take whenever I hear about a person born in the 1980s being appointed to a position of power like this. I know the math works but there’s still always a part of my brain asking “why would they let a teenager be Prime Minister?”
Yep - for breaking two aspects of the ministerial code by sending sensitive documents from a personal device ahead of the time it should have been disclosed to anyone.
She’s now in charge of MI-5.
“Another one? We would appreciate it greatly, Mr Sunak, if your party kindly sort its shit out. Before We have to dissolve Parliament, that didn’t end well for the last King Charles to do so.”
Kind of similar to Patel so. Home Secretary is really chosen for being the nastiest piece of shit with the fewest scruples.
Which in the Nasty party is a bit like being the tallest basketball player in the team.
The Beeb tried making him younger by claiming he’s a millennial. Like hell he is. Johnson was a boomer, based on his parents’ age, so Truss was our first Gen X PM and Sunak is our 2nd.
I’ve always assumed there is something in the water supply in the Home Office that turns them into monsters. Just look at the likes of David Blunkett and Charles Clarke who seemed quite reasonable before becoming Home Secretary - five minutes later they’re foaming Daily Mail editorial writers.
