Did anyone see Rishi and his flip chart?!

I mean WTF?!
Who uses flip charts these days?! I was so stunned by the method of delivery I couldn’t rake in anything he was saying. (This is the conservative political broadcast on BBC1 at about 7 tonight)

He gets more and more like a third rate maths teacher everyday!

The house looks so sad!

I agree he could have put more effort into the house. Square windows.

CreateHope · 07/02/2024 20:39

But surely @2dogsandabudgie he should have checked his spelling or redone the scene?!? Or does he think this makes him look more “man of the people”??

Mrspatmoresspoon · 07/02/2024 20:58

It makes him and his team look arrogant. Can’t be arsed to draw properly or spell correctly.

To be honest I didn't even notice the spelling mistakes as he was writing so quickly so maybe he didn't realise?

BIossomtoes · 07/02/2024 21:02

How old does he think we are? 10? Politics for dummies, gullible ones at that.

CreateHope · 07/02/2024 21:03

@2dogsandabudgie but he wasn’t doing this live! It would suggest his entire team doesn’t know how to spell 😬. Appalling!

rockstarshoes · 07/02/2024 21:06

What's the point of him!

Why won't he just put us all out of our misery & call a General Election!

Our local council has had funding cut by 122 million since 2010, still has to cut another 10 million this year. Since 2010 it’s been cut by 56% of what we received under New Labour. Services are already cut to the bone. To add insult to injury the wealthiest councils have not seen anyway near the same reduction in central government funding. The man really does not give a damn.

I wondered if he'd practised it on the Y10 Debating Society first? Because that was the standard of political debate and graphics he was working at..

TooBigForMyBoots · 07/02/2024 21:47

The whole tone was one of not caring anymore. The Tories know they'll lose so they don't give a shit.🤷‍♀️

I agree it came across like they had put this together in a bar and filmed it next morning with a hangover before breakfast.
It was like homework where you know you are going to fail the subject, but your mum has made you do it anyway.

Karwomannghia · 07/02/2024 22:57

Even the house looks sad/mortified!

And he couldn’t spell furlough either.

😂 How about English lessons for all until age 18!

PerspicaciaTick · 07/02/2024 23:03

Flipcharts are making a huge comeback where I work. Three years of virtual whiteboards and everyone seems desperate to get back to paper and markers.

mynameiscalypso · 07/02/2024 23:04

Do people not use flip charts anymore?! We use them all the time!

herewegoagainy · 07/02/2024 23:06

It is many years since I have even seen a flipchart.

ShirleyValentine1989 · 07/02/2024 23:06

Didn't see it but I do love a flip chart!... and proper lists - written on paper, none of this electronic malarkey!

Stillnormal · 07/02/2024 23:07

I went to primary school with RS. Absolutely love a flip chart - I think it might be a throwback from the eisteddford.

cloppyklip · 07/02/2024 23:08

Hi usually don't mind him but this was so patronising!

To me it suggests that no-one in his team is interested in details. Not paying enough attention to details is why plans fail.

herewegoagainy · 07/02/2024 23:28

My manager would not have been happy if I did a presentation with such obvious spelling mistakes. She hates sloppiness.

LadyWithLapdog · 07/02/2024 23:31

I used a flip chart for the first time in years just yesterday. Like Sunak’s, my drawing was also quite constipated, as the tripod was shaky and I had to tread gently. Unrelated to this, Sunak is a bellend and I despise him.

Lighteningstrikes · 07/02/2024 23:40

I followed it very well, but what I don’t understand is if inflation is down to 4% from 11% as he says, why the hell is everything getting more and more expensive?

His spelling is terrible 😬😳

And his handwriting is abysmal, even taking into account he's writing sideways while trying to face forwards.

The whole thing was just awful.

Cascais · 07/02/2024 23:50

Lots of people use flip charts
