Why now ? Coz his MPs were about to hoy him out

I find it's so ironic that the general election is on America's Independence Day from the British LOL

@mildlydispleased3221 2 ай бұрын

Almost every day is a country's independence day from the British. When Sunak loses he will be dependent on the US and his green card.

@@mildlydispleased3221 I wonder if that's the reason he chose July 4th. Because if it is, he's basically saying "after this election, I'm moving to America."

@safirahmed 2 ай бұрын

£1,000 to Rishi Sunak is around 0.61% of his annual salary and a meaningless tiny fractional percentage of his household net worth.

£1000 is the tie, that suit is about £15,000. Are you calling Rishi a cheapskate?

Maybe you folks need to look in to the salary that county council heads get then compare it to the PM's. This is one of many reasons the population is considered Dumb in the UK, but alas there is a high enough count of stupid to vote in Labour but hey at least then the case and point will be made. 😂

It would be nice to think that this could be the end of the Tory Party, permanently.

@AirTMZ 2 ай бұрын

@@alfredchapron9106 It won't be. If labour does what they did last time, then people will be saying the exact same things they're saying to the Tories, to labour. Last time they were in, people hoped it would be the end of labour. The pendulum continues to swing, and the Tories will be seen as "must be better than whatever we have now" in a few terms, just like what people are saying about labour. They're both terrible parties, and have the same satisfaction as any other government at the moment. Everyone hates the party in charge and loves the party that isn't in power all over the world, regardless of if the party in charge is right or left wing. No one is, rightfully, satisfied.

This is all about what suits HIM, HIS BUSINESS interests and HIS FAMILY. Best to have the summer to turn the page and re-deploy to the US for the next chapter of his 'fortunes'. It is also a choice that can allow HIM a measure of British personal and political retribution while greeting Americans on Independence Day!

@py8554 2 ай бұрын

I tell you why now. Because this is the only July 4th before the latest possible election date, and Sunak wants to show how much he loves America and how much UK is indebted to America that he just needs to have the biggest day of his life set to this big day in America. He probably doesn’t care how the history of the day is so much linked to the British history.

@py8554 2 ай бұрын

One rather interesting but very bizarre speculation I have heard about why the election is called so early is: Sunak wants to give King Charles III at least one chance to appoint a prime minister before his illness overwhelms him. But this just puts Sunak way too kind than he can possibly be.

He's a millionaire with 700 million and since he was unelected Prime Minister he made another 120 million so his net worth is 820 million, yes inflation has come down and everything else has gone up, council tax, food and petrol prices and gas and electric, yes inflation has come down and tax cuts.

Just a comment. If the Tory’s are good at organising and building the economy, why could they not have organised a pergola to stand under? One reason maybe the funds would not stretch to the cost of a pergola or even to the hiring one. Not a good start to a political campaign. Maybe the prim minister did not want to ware that old Ganex overcoat that was hanging in the entrance hall or maybe he can’t afford a Ganex.
