According to twitter Sunak has gone to California to spend Christmas in one of his 12 houses - is this accurate?

On no no no. He's gone for a longstanding series of business meetings.

Shouldbedoing · 16/12/2021 15:51

A beach house in California just so happens to be one of his 12 homes
And he's in constant telephone contact

CorrBlimeyGG · 16/12/2021 15:51

Apparently it's an official trip to Silicon Valley. Because that's so important right now.

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 16/12/2021 15:52

I thought he'd be polishing his slippers.

Staying well out of the way of the current shitshow, so he can pop up all fresh and fragrant as the Young Pretender when the 1922 eventually shows its hand and gives Boris the heave-ho.

Working from home then? Wish we all had the choice of 12 places to do that from, rather than my kitchen, shared with two dogs (though that's a bonus tbh).

He's at the back of the fray, safely protected and ready for the crown to be placed on his head, once it's been forcibly removed from the old.

CorrBlimeyGG · 16/12/2021 16:01

Apparently he has a condo worth several million in Santa Monica.

If Starmer cannot tap the ball into the open goal the Tories have left him, he really shouldn’t be playing for the team, let alone the captain.

Does anyone need 12 homes? Does he spend time in each one every year? Even the Queen hasn't got that many.

Hi Mrs Sunak 🤣

He's richer than the Queen

I will never not find it remarkable that people dragged Corbyn through the mud for owning a house in Islington that looks like a stacked shoe box but think nothing of the fact that the man in charge of the countries purse strings is an actual billionaire whose party thought giving hungry kids 2 slices of white bread and 4 baked beans enough.

TokyoSushi · 16/12/2021 16:21

Goodness knows why he was there, but according to Twitter, he's now on his way back!

It's insane how much sway the media has on what the average Joe on the street thinks

How does Twitter know? 😂

Well he worked hard at school got into a good uni did a masters and then got a job at Goldman Sachs as an investment banker. He and his wife have/had businesses of their own, so enjoying the fruits of their labour. Frankly its what's people of Indian descent do they work hard and save and make wise investment decisions.

TokyoSushi · 16/12/2021 16:23

No idea!

Moonopoly · 16/12/2021 16:26

@MullinerSpec I don’t think they are exactly self made… I think there was money there already from her family. A lot of money.

Its good to hear that the hard work has paid off though I'm sure it also It also helps that his father-in-law is one of the richest men in the world.
Porfre · 16/12/2021 16:29

@MullinerSpec
He married a billionaires daughter

LuchiMangsho · 16/12/2021 16:31

Yes I was going to say that his FIL is one of the richest men in the world. His wife's wealth is family wealth. His wife's brother who I believe has an Ivy League PhD is also a billionaire now.
And also, I am sure he worked hard at school, but he also went to a private school didn't he?

DeepaBeesKit · 16/12/2021 16:31

This.

Um. They don't all. Like any subset of the UK population people of Indian descent come in all personality types....

Yes, totally agree. I hope he one days becomes PM too..... but its me me me and why haven't I got what he's got on here with a lot of people.

He’s hiding so he doesn’t get tainted by the Boris shit-show, and then he can swoop in all shiny and unspoilt when Boris finally shuffles off.

Thinking about it - he lives in Downing Street too. Why didn’t he know about the post-work piss up?
