Do you feel sorry for soggy Sunak? Feat. Matthew Stadlen & Salma Shah | Jeremy Vine

After months and months of speculation and more than four years since the entire country last went to the polls, we know that on July 4th - just 42 days time - you will get to vote for who leads the country.
Did you hear Rishi Sunak's announcement yesterday?
Or were you, like most of us, distracted by the very familiar tune drowning him out?
Jeremy Vine on 5 is on television every weekday at 9:15am until 1:30pm on Channel 5.

Sunak’s speech is like a metaphor for the Tory party itself. The whole country can see how awful the weather is but Sunak and the Tory party are going to carry on and act like… what rain? It’s not raining! While we are all soaking wet and shivering.

Here is a funny I thought of about Sunak in the rain, it reminded of a song. Listen to the rhythm of the pouring rain telling me just what a fool I’ve been.

[@Satchitananda441]

ZERO sorrow for him. Get out and stay out.

[@PanglossDr]

Sorry for Sunak, that useless PoS? Absolutely not.

[@blaxtru]

Jeremy might consider retirement before sounding any more thick. "I don't know what's going on here" is becoming his epitaph.

[@Martin-jk6pc]

The rain was either a poignant metaphorical picture of the captain going down with his ship in the storm. He’s had enough, just like the rest of U.K. covid,brexit Russia wokeism no foundations silly church antics. The list goes on. Oh yes the new king and Harry and his noisy treachery, DWP lecturing us on our health. It’s endless,pain.

[@mum2jka]

Mentioning the Scottish school holidays is key. This was definitely done on purpose. And what better way to stick it to the SNP MP who made fun of the PM. Labour cannot win without Scotland voting Labour. If people are on holiday that could significantly reduce votes for Labour. It definitely all looks hurried but someone somewhere thought this out. Optics, when broken down, was absolutely perfect for the Tories. But goodness I hope I'm wrong.

[@user-ou3cq1gk9m]

The fact nobody from even his own party, not even himself, could hold an Umbrella speaks volumes……!? 🤣😝😂

[@jmcm8546]

Jeremy Vine is just a plonker. No depth, and appears a tory at heart

I heard some woman in a shop talking about the speech and they said it was disrespectful to play music whilst our priminister is talking and I thought , it’s disrespectful to send people to Rwanda. No pity here.

I admire Peter from Kent for sticking up for Sunak . HOWEVER! Making a speech while getting drenched looked like an act of desperation , rather than Gene Kelly , who was singing in the rain with a brolly!

[@san-chil]

What is exactly is wrong with getting a little wet in rain? I do it all the time, it is not only better and refreshing and rejuvenating to the soul but also a whole lot more convenient than having to carry a silly umbrella along. PM Rishi stood out there alone ... in the rain announcing a fight ... and all the media worries about is a rain that was worth a few drops of water. You never walk into a fight worrying about a few drops worth of rain carrying a brolly ... unless you happen to be a Brit I suppose. Besides if you call that rain, I say you haven't really seen rain before ...

[@Lee1517]

Love how wipms the brits are, they call that rain😂 its not surprise their tains go into chaos with a bit of snow.

You do not have to sorry for Sunak, he is the most intelligent young Prime minister the country have ever had. I do not know who else in this country who can walk in his shoes, give him a chance , however he can do without your Cristian and the stress, he do not have to be a prime man buster he can live off his riches without Britain on his h head, he do not need your sympathy

I feel sorry for him because I think he’s a really nice man but he’s not a leader, not a pm, not a strategist, not a visionary and not elected. But he is good and morally responsible in his own way and probably looking forward to stepping down.

[@bereal6590]

His morals revolve around giving his fil's company numerous British contracts including in the nhs which made sunak 120 million in 2023. He has zero morals except his own wallet!
