How the tide can turn eh?

That's pretty impressive for a 'Tory' chancellor. Less popular than a useless, kneeling, Labour leader. We He's had some pretty stiff competition from his own party too.

I wonder if Rishi might resign.

DH gave him a week.

I wondered if it might be sooner.

That's always been my understanding Maizie. Being a green card holder means you can work and live in the USA, if you choose too, it doesn't mean you have too.

Why is he "the architect of his own doom" Pammiel? He hasn't done anything illegal and neither has his wife. Personal information has been deliberately leaked it would appear, to bring him down.

Why ? He’s the architect of his own doom - found out applying the now familiar Tory standard of ‘one rule for them, one rule for us’.

If I was Akshaty Murty I would want my daughters out of Downing Street.

An inquiry has begun, to find out where the leaked info came from (or who)

So Sunak moves out of the flat where security is gold standard to one of his many houses where we assume must now be set up with greater security costing the tax payer how much extra I wonder.

After all, his intention is the take up permanent residency there. wink

Pic of removal vans apparently. I wonder which of his homes he will go to....

Would the thread police tell me if this is a Daily Mail article I believe, or not. I never know.

Says same in the Times.

What Daily Mail article?

The Daily Mail is reporting that he’ll be gone by next week. Having a Green Card apparently carries a legal undertaking that you intend to make the USA your permanent home and the Americans may stop Sunak from returning to the USA.
I think I’m beginning to feel a tad sorry for the Sunaks.

I'm trying to verify that assertion about green card and the legal undertaking to settle in the US. Nothing I found said anything at all like that. All I could find was that holding a green card for a number of years entitled you to apply for US citizenship. Even obtaining US citizenship carries no obligation to permanently settle in the US.

I suspect this is just a bit of poor research (or no research at all) on the part of the journalist.

If I were Mrs. Sunak I would have insisted that the family got out of that goldfish bowl too.

They aren’t going to be homeless, they’ve got several luxury homes around the place.

You’re not the only one. I’m going to be tossing and turning all night worrying about them.

Sweet dreams.

Grany does that mean Labour with Starmer as leader might actually be electable at long last?!

And Starmer's not doing very well is he.

Noam Chomsky called Keir Starmer “Keith”. He knew he was belittling the Labour leader, and rightly so.

But his words about what Starmer has done to the Labour Party are far more damning. In video published by the New Statesman, he said:

“He is returning the Labour Party to a party that is reliably obedient to power; that will be ‘Thatcher-lite’ in the style of Tony Blair.”

The comments of the world’s leading left-wing thinker are important and relevant because they contribute to the demolition of the anti-Semitism smears to which Starmer has wedded himself.

bridgejj, would you want everybody to receive this as the state pension? What about people who get paid very healthy pensions including those who have worked for the State?
