Who was that woman with Rishi Sunak just now at the palace?!

[NewsJunki]

Is anyone watching the live news of Sunak going to meet the King? I just wondered who that woman was who was travelling with him and shook the hand of the man at the palace?! It wasn't his wife! The woman who got out the car looked like she was off on her commute or something! Carrying loads of random bags and wearing a puffa jacket!

Quite frankly the way she chooses to dress is neither here nor there. She presumably is able and razor focused on the economy. Picking on her clothing choice is really unacceptable

That made me laugh, very funny and true!

She probably saw Major Johnny the kilted adjutant to King Charles and decided to hop out of the car after all.

Sitting here with the windows open. Clearly she's dressing for the season not the actual weather.

Some of the comment assuming who she MUST be based on her clothes ate disgusting.

There is another thread going on more serious issues they're at 15 pages so far ...

Is Rishi's wife richer than the Queen?

Oh balls, King. Force of habit

I haven’t called anyone a nasty bitch, I said ‘I need to get on board and be a nasty bitch.’ If you’re feel that applies to you then there’s not much I can do about that.

There’s nothing ‘normal’ about calling a woman scruffy, not in my world anyway. Your comments about this woman are unkind and unnecessary. She is someone’s daughter, maybe someone’s mum or sister. Would you be proud if she or any of her family read your comments or any other negative ones you’ve laughed along and agreed with?

It’s unnecessarily cruel, especially as you apparently only wanted to know who she was. Why did this curiosity involve calling her a random woman, scruffy, asking who on Earth she was and thinking calling her a mess was the voice of reason...amongst other things.

There is a middle ground between ‘don’t judge women on what they wear’ and ‘she looked scruffy’.
She looked fine for a day at work, for someone who has been hugely busy, and someone who is supporting the new PM. But it’s not what I would wear to go to Buckingham Palace to meet the King. She was clearly not his wife on account of not looking like her.

So did we find out who she is and why she couldn’t dress up for the bloody King of the country!

Yes. The Suank's are estimated to be worth £770 million, the King about £375 million.

I haven’t called anyone a nasty bitch, I said ‘I need to get on board and be a nasty bitch.’

Ah right. I see! Of course. There's the distinction! That's ok then. You're absolutely not a misogynist but I am for using the word "scruffy". 👍

The King should have broken with tradition and come to No 10 and to save valuable time for RS who has to save the country, should come to no10 every week for a quick 15-minute standup meeting - to be reviewed after 3 months.

Ah - so now you can do nuance.

you’re certainly keeping me on my toes today!

I think I preferred you when I thought you just weren’t very bright

Watching HMQ funeral, studio presenter said "we now go to Clive Myrie (reporter) and his wife". What? He's gone to work with his wife? What's going on? Myrie, " thank you, I'm here with Baroness Scotland, etc". Assumptions. Not great.

A misogynist for sticking up for a woman being pulled apart for what she wears. 🤔 Just because those I’m calling out are likely to be women and saying those comments are bitchy doesn’t equal misogynist.

I see you’ve ignored the rest of my post. You just keep on insisting that your posts are not deeply unpleasant and unnecessary. Go and tell someone in real life that they’re scruffy and look a mess and see what reaction you get. You wouldn’t do it, and that’s because you know it’s not acceptable.

I think Mrs Sunak and the children might be out of the country.

@Squerls given @NewsJunki wont even post these comments with their usual username, I can’t imagine they’d be brave enough to say them out loud in RL

Me too. Half term and all that jazz.

Had it been a man in trainers and a puffa jacket I would have asked the same question.

She wasn’t in trainers though @PriamFarrl and I’m not sure that counts as a puffa jacket in the sense you’re implying?

Well no she wasn’t. But she wasn’t dressed in the way most of us would do to meet with the King. I would say that trainers on a man would be the male equivalent of how she was dressed. Nothing wrong with them, and they can look smart but not what most men would wear to meet the King.
