Maybe Sunak doesn't feel the need for this type of electioneering hype. I've never come across anything to suggest Sunak isn't a decent bloke.

He’s famously tetchy, apparently.

No it isn't fair CvD66 but I did post that I hadn't come across anything to suggest he isn't a decent bloke, not a perfect one.

I am not sure that being a decent bloke necessarily qualifies you to lead the country.

Better than electing a womanising narcissistic liar imo.That was never going to go well, was it.

He's obviously more than a decent bloke, as his 7 million worth keeps bring trotted out as if its some kind of crime.

It suggests he may be pretty clever, too.

Smileless2012 So it OK for Sunak to promise Fingen Murray that he would raise her bill (in memory of her son Martyn, killed in the Manchester arena disaster) in Parliament before the summer recess…exactly 5 hours before he announced a General Election?

I like him he’s a bit shy with the camera but Boris loved it didn’t he? I’ll bite for him as I’m working class and I’ve listened to him and hopefully he’ll do the job!

Sunak’s a decent bloke too … so?

I suppose it depends on where you do your story reading ?

I know people will immediately tell me it’s part of the Labour election agenda but I keep coming across random short stories about small acts of kindness by Starmer. These stories aren’t major incidents and largely involve simple examples where Starmer has encouraged someone by action or deed. Whether electioneering hype or not, I can’t imagine reading similar stories about our current PM as sadly he seems so disconnected from the general public!
