If Rishi Sunak does become the PM, then
@waz can be called a person with magical foresight for creating this aptly titled thread long back.
“British chancellor Rishi Sunak on his last legs?”
Sunak indeed was on his last leg as chancellor since he had to become the PM.
People calling him back stabbing snake?
When were politicians anything other than this?
Second issue is survivabilty after (and if) he becomes PM. Politics has strange ways and politicians strange means to have nine lives like a cat. Not saying that he will have, but he might end up being at the helm for longer than the forecast life of ‘just a matter of time’.
His Indian link is another issue that cheers some and saddens others.
Suella Braverman is a good example to bring out that ethnic connections have very little value in international games of diplomacy. So, I am not cheering at Sunak becoming the PM.
