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!

You knew the sort of comments you would attract from others by commenting on this woman’s appearance. You’ve called her scruffy and you’re enjoying other people’s comments but pretending you were just curious who this woman is. If that was the case, you would have asked without commenting on her appearance. You’re baffled that people think the thread is unkind. Do you think your comments are kind?

I thought she followed the rules. You should blame the rule makers, not tjose who get benefitted.
I meant he seemed pretty decent to his family unlike Boris and Liz.

@okidoki72

Yes I think its most likely to be Eleanor Shawcross

@DisgruntledApothecarist I wouldn't worry about her being upset about what some random people are saying about her coat on MN. If she is travelling with the new PM to this meeting she is clearly in a very prominent position

Gods it's like pulling teeth!

OP, your argument is with the BBC and their lack of accuracy. Not with Rishi Sunak, or his senior aide, or with Akshata Murthy.

Yet that is not how you worded your opening post, which was salacious, and derogatory about Sunak's aide. Have the intelligence and decency to own it.

@Squerls

Of course I was curious, that's why I started a lighthearted thread in Chat to ask who she was! Yes I said she was scruffy!! OMG is that a crime now?! FFS. The reason I said that is because

• they were meeting the King
• he is the new PM
• commentator said "and here is Mrs Sunak"

FFS! I said she was scruffy and now I'm being told to be kind.

Sigh.

@Stravaig if you think my OP was salacious then you really need to get out more!

just a quick summary of some of my favourite comments by @NewsJunki

No offence to the woman in question but she looked a bit scruffy!

11.23
But I was shocked that this scruffy person appeared! Was waiting for a glimpse of the new "First Lady" haha!

Who on earth was she and why did he take her and not his wife?!!!

We're taking about random woman's attire and mystery of missing wife in this thread godammit!

Sunak! Affairs! I must have been living under a stone as I understand it they were tax affairs. Or more pointedly lack of tax affairs. He does have a £200 heated travel coffee cup.

This is .

You missed the question, do you think you’ve been kind? Because you seem to be baffled at being told your post is unkind. To call her scruffy amongst your other comments and enjoy laughing at other people’s comments about her?

Of you only wished to know who she was, you would have simply asked who she was. But instead you added a few bitch remarks and are rebelling in others doing the same. Then you take exception to being called unkind.

You’ve done it, it’s here for all to see. So own it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And saying lighthearted doesn’t actually make something lighthearted. In fact often people say lighthearted when they’re being a bit shitty.

This is the usual get out clause on MN when asked to provide evidence for a claim.

"It's well known within Westminster."

"It's well known within upper class circles."

"The entire press knows about it but won't say anything yet."

Are you 'within Westminster?' Otherwise how do you know about these alleged rumours?

bitchy
revelling

But have you seen the equerry?

I think most women would be very happy to chat with him. And the other stuff too.

There's someone who is genuinely unkind on this thread whose been reported.

I just find it bizarre that we have a new PM and all people want to do on this thread is slag off the women for their appearance or lack of appearance at Rishi's side.

FFS! I said she was scruffy and now I'm being told to be kind.

And you really can’t see the connection?

If it ever was to be revealed that Rishi had had an affair(s) then I would be as shocked when I first heard that John Major had been cavorting with Edwina Currie. He appears to my twisted mind to be the squeakiest of clean politicians in the trouser department and focused intently on his work and wealth than messing around and that's a good thing.

I'd have been very happy to have a chat with that equerry.

You're crazy @Squerls and way off mark! Saying she had a puffa coat and loads of bags was me sounding incredulous that the commentators were saying this was his wife arriving to meet the King! I don't think that's bitchy. Sorry, but I don't.

In a subsequent post I used the term scruffy (I think). Again, not bitchy in my book! Just a normal comment.

Honestly you are totally derailing and I don't know why you'd even join in a thread like this if you take exception to this stuff.

This was a thread wondering who the lady was the BBC was telling us was his wife, I'm sure there are other more serious threads about the political situation.

No, it's not an M&S bag, it's the kilt of the man in the background.

Maybe he borrowed her, the way he borrowed that car to fill with petrol before, in an attempt to make himself look more normal?

Yep @NewsJunki these statements show your real intentions and how unkind you have been to this lady. Hope you are not like this in RL.

Exactly @MrsMontyD thank you! This was a lighthearted thread on Chat guys. The worst thing you can say is the woman was described as scruffy and now posters are up in arms!

It's baffling!

She’s holding his kilt?! My goodness this lady has caused a storm.
