Sunak - created by AI? Thread 36

[BIossomtoes]

I’ve taken the liberty again.

Old thread here..

She has got a plan and confident in the plan, but is “not in control of all the moving parts

Anyone who has any project planning experience will know that if contingencies are not in place for the pieces outside direct control, then you haven't got a plan at all.

They can’t even manage to make the provision they have at the moment work. They probably should have tried looking at that before they extended childcare provision further. It needs more money for providers.

I’m not in control of the moving parts. But I am tightly controlling the oil that helps them move.

From the mirror article - it’s even worse :

One of the firm’s biggest investors is Somerset Capital, co-founded by Lord Johnson, a major Tory party donor who Mr Sunak re-appointed as Trade Minister after he became PM in October 2022

🙄🙄

It's never surprised me that former PMs try to capitalise on their contacts - but this is next level brazen.

Infosys is in my opinion bloody dangerous and should be anywhere near British contracts.

Any company that pushes a stakeholders husband so hard and fast (he's obviously backed with their money) that he is pushed to the top of politics with all of the doors that that opens in places like America, as well as within our government departments has a game plan.

If their business model was open and above board, they would not need to go to this length, they could make make their bids along with other companies. We are hearing about AI being used to look into bank accounts- this is outrageous and should have been given short shrift the second it was mentioned. It is not in keeping with the values that I have been brought up with, values given to me by the society I live in. It's something I would expect from China and North Korea. Government in this country should be light touch, not the mallet it increasingly feels like.

There must be something that stops this surely? But then it seems to happen all the time. Where's the line where "conflict of interest" or whatever kicks in?

Also where is the line where non elected people can be in government? A la Lord Cameron? I mean, I know it's happened for years, in all likelihood parties but....?

I’d genuinely never looked at Rishi’s in-laws interests in that light @L1ttledrummergirl. I mean, I’d always presumed that he and his wife were putting their interests of wealth accumulation above the interests of serving the public but kind of stopped at the usual anger at the usual Tory grubbiness. It makes sense when you spell it out like that.

Absolutely correct, drummergirl, thanks for putting it so clearly. Huxley and Orwell believed they were writing warnings. But no, just guidance apparently.

I’d never thought of it either but now it’s been pointed out it makes perfect sense.

I keep coming back to this. It's really scary.

Have you seen this? Just saw it on twitter. I'd like to go post it on all those horrible refugee threads but not sure I dare dip my toe in them.

That's a good meme @Zonder

And yet they wang on about small state in the Tory party.

Tories like a small public state. Size of the private state is dependent on how much money is available.

It’s brilliant. My paternal ancestors were relatively recent economic immigrants, they fled the potato famine.

Been mulling over L1ttledrummergirl's analysis of Infosys and can't fault it.

Seen a snippet of the Morgan -Sunak interview where inexplicably Sunak accepts a £1000 bet that he'll fly asylum seekers to Rwanda before the next election.

Cheap attention seeking stunt & I'd expect no less from Morgan.

But bloody hell, aren't we a long way through the looking glass? What happened to Sunaks promising professionalism etc.

All Sunak had to do was tell Morgan that he takes key policies (involving actual people & £100s of millions of taxpayers money) a bit more seriously than bet with tv presenters?

What next? Bet the defence budget with Nick Ferrari? Auction a Cabinet Reshuffle with Michael McIntyre?

Pathetic.

Which I'm sure is what Sunak wants me to think - anything that makes pod cast listeners wince is the correct way to measure good Government policies now.

I just saw that trending with 'Trading Places'

dispicable

Found this interesting and rather amusing article on the Conservative Home website. It really does look as though the Tories have given up on the by-election in Wellingborough next week.

I'm wondering if it might suit certain sections of the Conservative Party if Reform picked up their vote share in Wellingborough - enough to frighten the Government into leaning further right.

He debases the office of Prime Minister, day after day I truly despise Sunak & this government.

What an absolute scumbag he is. "Dishy Rishi" my arse, he is repulsive.

There is this as well, all he had to do was say 'No'

Does Rishi Sunak think Keir Starmer is a 'terrorist sympathiser'?

"The facts speak for themselves," the Prime Minister tells Piers Morgan.

I hope Starmer sues him

Why the hell is Sunak doing interviews on Twitter? Is it so he can say whatever the fuck he wants?
