His FIL has many photographs taken with Putin apparently they are very good friends...and why not.The PM has russian friends he even put one in the HOL ! Haven't they been giving him shedloads of cash?
All in it together ..isn't that what they said to us about austerity? I think its them who are all in it together..crooks ,liars ,cheats and thieves...Tories in other words ...not that I would expect anything else from this circus of incompetent clowns .

" Crooks, liars, cheats and thieves, ... "

For some reason, I'm hearing that to the tune of ^Gypsies, tramps and thieves', paddyann, and just can't get it out of my head now.

Meanwhile, my mind is just itching to expand on it. I feel a complete re-write of the song's lyrics coming on unless I can get a grip on myself! hmm

I think he does share in responsibility, I also think that surely it’s all above board?
He can’t be so stupid that he thinks nobody will find out if it isn’t?

That would be true if it was say a political belief . So if his wife was a member of the labour party it would be nothing to do with anyone. If his wife was fundraising for the lib dems again nothing to do with him. However when you are talking about financial gain which will have an impact on him then its a different matter. If I am living in a house bought by the profits of my husbands drug dealing and I knew about it then yes some responsibility is mine.

He is not his wife. He doesn't have to answer for her. Where is feminism when you expect a husband to be "in charge" of his wife's business?

He is becoming less and less attractive as a potential Prime Minister, even to his own party, I think.
The remark about buying different types of bread for each member of his family was particularly insensitive.

Goodness me, did he really say that? One step away from, ‘Let them eat cake’. I suspect there will be some sort of U turn once it sinks in how inadequate his measures are for the crisis we are facing. Considering how popular he was perhaps Johnson has set him up to fail.

He looked distinctly uncomfortable when questioned about his wife’s Russian investments.

Rishi Sunak's wife's family company is still dealing with Russia, the company is called Infosys and is an Indian tech company , she has received
12 million in dividends during the past year and her stake in the company is worth £727 million an increase of £200 million this year. These figures are mind blowing.
Surely this is another case of the Tories saying one thing and doing another to suit themselves.
He was questioned yesterday morning on Sky News and evaded answering any of the reporters questions.
