What tweet? I'm confused

Sunak again looking and sounding like an over-enthusiastic schoolboy

AppleKatie · 25/07/2022 21:41

Truss has an opportunity here that she has totally wasted.

GreenLunchBox · 25/07/2022 21:42

I don't think so. He's notoriously quiet about his background 🤪

MarshaBradyo · 25/07/2022 21:42

Good for her not getting into earring stuff

ThePenIsBlue · 25/07/2022 21:42

Did his mum run a chemist?

Elevenerifebruv · 25/07/2022 21:42

He might just be exasperated by her dimness it's true

Didn't she just?

Truss is really sticking the boot in over Sunak's clothes.

Sunak's environment answer was so cringe 😬

Like he was addressing primary school children

OneFrenchEgg · 25/07/2022 21:43

I feel like saying 'ran the local chemist' is avoiding saying she was a pharmacist as it sounds more relatable.

I think it might have been in Southampton

Oh first applause for Rishi.

Mischance · 25/07/2022 21:43

How is Sunak going to deal reasonably with world leaders, some of whom are grim, when he can't even have a rational discussion with someone whose side he is meant to be on politically? I have no axe to grind for Truss, but if he would just stop interrupting she would hang herself quite effectively all by herself.

Several Tory MPs have been saying how destructive this is for them come a GE, as they are presenting as a divided party. Whoopee!

carefullycourageous · 25/07/2022 21:44

Truss is really passive aggressive, it is pretty nasty.

Sporty2022 · 25/07/2022 21:44

Whoever wins, there won’t be an election until 2024..

ProfessorLayton1 · 25/07/2022 21:44

Truss does not give any specifics about anything.

Looks like Rishi can't make any sense of Truss's economic policy. He is better once the economic policy discussion is over.

I know, right? No pharmacist calls themselves a chemist. I was just saying to my family that he must have spent no time with his mum to keep calling her a chemist

His father was a GP in the city, while his mother ran Sunak Pharmacy in Burgess Road from 1995.

BaconAndAvocado · 25/07/2022 21:45

She didn’t just work in a chemists, she was a pharmacist who ran her own business.

Narwhalelife · 25/07/2022 21:45

This is a bloody fever dream surely?

OneFrenchEgg · 25/07/2022 21:46

@GreenLunchBox thank you - hilarious. I like Nad's hair in the profile pic though Blush

Exactly. It's disingenuous.

We know. He's not shut up about it.
