Is anybody really surprised that a billionaire politician abuses his office to make more money? That is the Number One reason why those people go into politics - to be able to distribute the pork barrels directly, without the need to pay other politicians like they normally do.
And this one didn’t even need to get elected (tbf neither did the last 2, or is it 3?), they just sit there and wait their turn at playing leader, when they do their best to fill their pockets by picking apart public services.
Ha. It feels good to have such a benevolent leader here in the US. He never talks business with his family. He only talks about the weather when family members call him on the phone. Whatever profits are made are because they are the smartest people he knows.
the tories are so corrupt it’d be comical if it wasn’t so sad
The UK populace is making a run at the throne for dumbest electorate in the world. USA has been the undisputed champ for years, but UK swinging!
as bad as Truss was she at least fucked off before completely driving the country down the shitter
To be fair its not like the public even voted Sunak in, they voted Boris in and we then got the Tory’s hand me downs (not that Boris was any better, granted)
Very few people in the UK ever vote a PM into power, and even those people only vote them in as an MP, technically.
you don’t vote for the prime minister, you vote for the party. no prime minister gets their position because the public wants them to. it’s an actual illusion of choice
While you are of course entirely right, people do tend to vote based on the issues the head of the party is championing at the time so I’d argue that it’s slightly more nuanced than just voting for the party given how the head of each party steers the policy in different directions
What a happy coincidence.

Of all the family values to export out of India, corruption and nepotism seem to be on top of Murthy family’s list.
ps : Sunak’s wife and Narayan Murthy’s daughter had avoided paying taxes on her nearly $1-billion fortune. Infoys also has a history of tax issues in a number of jurisdictions, including UK.
A. that’s racist
B. He was born in England, and his parents are Indians from East Africa
It’s racist because his values are not Indian, they come from England
A. Pointing out acts of nepotism and tax avoidance is not racist.
B. The comment was on his in-laws, their firm, and their daughter’s values.Sunak’s British values haven’t stopped his wife & his in-laws from tax avoidance and from profiting via nepotism, to which he, the PM of UK, is at best a passive participant and at worst actively involved.
It’s definitely racist when you say that those are Indian family values. It’s not racist is you say those are Sunak family values.
Nepotism and corruption are a way of life with India and particularly in a Indian family firm. How do I know? I’m Indian as is the Murthy family. I’m pointing out that they’re doing their misdeeds outside India.
If you see their actions as not being examples of nepotism and corruption or if you consider nepotism and corruption to not be misdeeds, you’ll need to explain.
I cannot comment on Sunak’s family values, but they can’t be good if he enables his wife’s tax avoidance and his in-laws profiting via nepotism.
Does this qualify as Insider Trading?
In a literal theft from the people sense? Yes. In reality? No, he’s rich so he can do what he wants. Laws are to keep us poor in check, not to be fair.
Of course not!
He is clearly just a master negotiator and very savvy businessman!
Anyone could do what he has done if they just worked harder, we’re born into wealth and married the daughter of a billionaire.
It also helps to have zero morals/ ethics.
Time to pay more taxes, everyone!
