Rishi Sunak’s wife claims non-domicile status

[ladymuck]

A lot of the commenters seem preoccupied with "draining the swamp", i.e. (in part) sacking a load of obstructive passive-aggressive civil servants.

There's a great opportunity for that coming up before too long. All Boris & co need do is repeal the Demise of the Crown Act (1901). Then when HMQ pops orf, all senior civil servants will be immediately sacked by default, after which the cabinet can decide who to let back!

The snag is, I wonder if the Government itself would also be dissolved in that event, so in repealing the act they would be sawing the branch off on the wrong side!

And much "English" sentiment. I would say that the conservative members think the UK is over.

So, a Tory Scum safe seat somehow got a very rich, very young person with a US green card to be elected as MP in the first place, then somehow becomes Chancellor and only upon visit to US decides to give up his US permanent residency?

Who and how much was paid (either by money or favarous) to get him selected in the frist place?

Would Rishi or Boris for that matter would have EVER gained lawfully top clearance that their job surely requires?

Ah, the best bit - Rishi demands that investigation is started into who leaked his wife's status - why is he not going through "proper channels" (call HMRC on their public helpline) as every private citizen would have to?

He still doesn't get it....

Also the best way to bury the story is for him to STFU not trying to find the mole.
