Would they suddenly choose to vote for Rishi even though that means voting for Tories? I suppose some would and some wouldn’t. Just as some Tory voters won’t care whether Sunak was brown, blue or green. It’s fun to generalise and I suspect there’ll definitely be some Tory voters to whom the meme will apply. All the best comedy at someone’s expense is funny because there’s a nugget of truth in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 The Tory’s landslide win in 2019 had a lot to do with the influx of racist Brexit voters. That’s another demographic of voter they are going to lose at the next GE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do Rushi’s previous policy promises still stand? Or is he going to do something different too? Will his income tax cut by the end of this term still stand for example? Its certainly a very strange scenario to become PM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Pretty disgusting he had to read from a script when saying how privileged he was to get the job! Geezer might know finance, but as they, say he wouldn't even know how much a bottle of milk was, an certainly wouldn't dare mix with me and you, the dirty public.

Haven't seen it either but he's only ever decent at public speaking when its practiced. Start asking him questions and he's a rabbit in the headlights. I doubt he had much time to practice his speech today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 His speech was stilted at best and his telly prompt was off to the side so it looked slightly weird. He took no questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
