Rishi Sunak’s interview on This Morning

Do men read Jilly Cooper? My ex reads novels but I’ve always found him to be the exception to the rule. And he would never read Jilly Cooper. My partner reads a novel occasionally but they’re usually Dick Francis. I am struggling to believe what the PM said to be honest.

Macmillan said he retired with a little Trollope.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maybe because his wife was heavily into Bob Boothby all their married life.

I must be odd because I wouldn’t dream of being so snobby and dismissive of someone else’s reading matter?

Nah, he made it up.

Yeah, def made it up! There’s better rubbish out there to escape into.Why do politicians always try to make out they’re just like the average nitwit in the street?

Do you call other people on here liars, when they say they read Jilly Cooper. No only the PM. Personally wouldn't waste money on the trash she writes, but each to their own. Perhaps he borrowed his wife's copy.

I find it difficult to take a person actually liking Jilly Coopers writing gripping, seriously, just as I cannot see why people would read Every Shade of Grey. However, it’s each to its own. Give me Hamnet every time.

Sorry GrannyGravy13 don’t take it personally 😁 my comment was aimed at politicians who somehow think their choices make them more likeable.

I very much suspect that you're correct, Ilovecheese

She's my go to author whenever I've been ill. She's made me laugh and cry. The latter only over the animals.

Nah, he made it up.

Gosh. I always though R C-B was vile.

Do you think that Sunak's choice of reading reflects his view of English society?

RCB was definitely a bad boy, but for some unknown reason I fell for him 🤣

As for the PM relating to Rutshire I have no idea, he just said he enjoyed the escapism.

DH and I know people who are so close to some of JC’s characters it’s uncanny.

Gosh. I always though R C-B was vile.
