    Just an idle thought - but if you are trying to boost the UK's economy and having enough money to deal with all the problems we face by deliberately making the UK a good place for people to both earn money and generate wealth, why is encouraging the very people who are provably very good at doing that a bad thing?

    Some of you really need to read Keynes.


    As for the Fracking ban - not a silly move, since it kills off a whole world of pain. Nothing at all to do with fear of fracking itself

    He's halted fracking!

    Truss really did lose her PMship over feck all.

    He's also spoken to Nicola Sturgeon.

    Are people who go to one of the best comps in Leeds always rude?

    You lot can't help yourself can you?

    Not only did the young Sunak fall in love with the game of cricket, he fervently supported England over India at any opportunity. His career, too, has followed one of the most traditional and storied of England’s paths to power. Like five chancellors of the exchequer before him, Sunak was schooled at the ancient and distinguished Winchester College; and like three of those same Wykehamist chancellors, he went on, as was expected, to study at Oxford.

    Is gammon an option now on surveys that ask for ethnic background?

    Despite the video re-emerging in 2022, the explanation to the “magical” ring binder was actually offered back in 2020 by Sky News presenter Jonathan Samuels on Twitter, who explained that the video had been digitally edited by a Sky News “climate change correspondent and her video editor” who were doing a segment on how “green” the new budget would be (it was that segment that the altered video initially appeared.)

    Anyway it was all under British rule so he is very British.

    However his children are of Indian origin.
