To think Rishi Sunak’s vision for this country is dangerous

The more I see the way this financier is leading the more I see how he is treating this country like a company that he’s gone into trouble shoot. We are people, a nation.

For him it’s all about maths and science - achieving a high performing country based on economic growth. So all the focus is on expected areas of economic growth tech, AI, and science based problem solving.

For him the NHS is seen through economic rather than social lens.

The danger is that when you have a leader driven by views of running a company rather than a country is that we as people are seen as economic tools. We’re future employees rather than a nation.

Things like the environment, arts, sports, workers rights and conditions are seen as ‘would like to have’ but his drive and understanding is only economics.

Watch out for more private companies in the NHS as ‘innovators’, more bailouts and investments for large business, further erosion of citizens rights, more pumping of shit into our waterways, erosion of public and national parks, and more corruption and more expectation on the ‘family’ and voluntary groups to pick up the pieces where government takes a giant step back like SociAl Care, CAMHS services, food banks.

He is a dangerous technocrat company director PM masquerading as our leader.

Chilling.

I'm not sure what to make of him. It's just hard to have faith in any of them given recent history.

He’s a turd and incompetent but that approach you describe above is exactly how it should be done!

Just by someone competent and who is not from the 0.1%

I'd actually like to chin him.

So many posts moaning about Tories on Mumsnet…

… yet so many more silent Tory voters on here who can’t bear to vote Labour because it would suddenly signify them as “not aspirational” any more haha

And the deluded folk who seem to think that Boris Johnson, being not as rich as Rishi Sunak, is more "in touch" with the rest of the population. 🤔

Plan sounds good - need to wait and see how he plans to make it happen

watchfulwishes · 04/01/2023 19:37

It is a feeble attempt to say something despite the fact he can get barely anything past his own party and knows he is facing a very bad set of local elections before the infighting starts again.

It was not even a plan.

There is nothing the Tories can do now because you have to accept where we are to make any progress, and admitting where we are would mean admitting what the Tories have done that has got us here.

I think Sunak is rubbish, but I'm hoping he's just a place holder.

Just watched rushi’s speech and it felt like a church sermon. I actually felt like I was being preached to by the vicar.

TimeFlysWhenYoureHavingRum · 06/01/2023 19:20

Yanbu. And don't forget the only reason he is in a position to "trouble shoot" anything is due to 13 years of Tory mis-management based on variations of the same ethos.

Well Labour cannot be trusted with the economy etc....How many years of Tory government and people still believe that they are the better than the other options? I am not a multimillionaire so have yet to benefit from the 'top down' approach and working in the public sector with very vulnerable families I can say (although unscientific survery) they do not seem to be thriving either. We will just have to wait and see if this can all be resolved because children living in poverty with drastically slashed support during their early years will now study maths until 18?

BMW6 · 06/01/2023 19:31

Surely we need a growing economy to be able to improve services like NHS, Welfare system etc?

I think he might be evil. 🧐
