To intensely dislike Rishi Sunak?

He has no backbone, no coherent policies (u-turns a dozen times a day)and no understanding of ordinary people's lives. Plus he wears all his clothes a size too small, which really irritates me.

He's a gaslighting twat.

lavenderlou · 30/09/2023 11:43

I completely dislike him, yet at the same time find him one of the more palatable Tory MPs.... Scraping the barrel doesn't even begin to describe it.

I can't really say whether I like or dislike someone I've never met. But he seems like a decent chap.
(I do agree about the clothes though - a little odd!).

A decent chap?

Based on what?

BitOutOfPractice · 30/09/2023 11:43

I agree with every point you make OP. YANBU

BitOutOfPractice · 30/09/2023 11:44

A decent chap @Hbh17 ?! I’d love to know what you base that on 😂

Highandlows · 30/09/2023 11:53

Are you opening this threat to get back at the people who said to dislike KS at the other threat? Grow up.

Tanith · 30/09/2023 11:54

I know someone who worked for him and he was then a very decent man to work for, well liked and respected.

It doesn’t make him a good PM.

He is better than Boris Johnson and better than Liz Truss. Maybe better than Theresa May.

Not saying much, is it?

Didn't you post on the other thread?

Highandlows · 30/09/2023 11:57

Yes, so?

edwinaa · 30/09/2023 11:57

I also dislike him, and his party, intensely for the damage they're going to do to the planet with their policies. Unkept promises on policy and even breaking international law.

Of course you can't say whether you dislike him on a personal level. That's not what we're talking about.

Notonthestairs · 30/09/2023 12:00

Well putting aside the fact that I doubt the other thread was started in good faith, it seems fine for you to have your say. Just not fine when others do too.

Don't be silly. This thread achieves two things:

  1. Balance and equity - if KS can be slated in that way, it's only fair that RS gets the same.

  2. A demonstration that MN is not a polling organisation. If you ask 'Do you agree that KS is shit?', that's a leading question and you're going to get posters and voting that agrees with you. Same on this thread. In terms of predicting the outcome of the next GE, both threads are equally useless - which some posters on the KS threads did not seem to understand at all.

And hey, it's also a bit of fun.

Pushkinini · 30/09/2023 12:03

YANBU. Sunak is wily coyote in human form.

ThornInMySide84 · 30/09/2023 12:06

I also strongly dislike him. I think it is the fact that he really has no idea at all what everybody else’s lives are like, he doesn’t really seem to actually have any real opinions - and yes, why are his clothes always so small?!

MrTiddlesTheCat · 30/09/2023 12:06

Sunak is the best. He could totally outlast a lettuce. Probably not a turnip, but definitely a lettuce.

Badbadbunny · 30/09/2023 12:11

YANBU. I dislike him immensely because he excluded 3 million self employed/freelancers from covid support and then lied about it in Parliament.

I run a small accountancy practice and still rage about the clients he screwed over who lost their businesses, their savings, some lost their homes, and one committed suicide. All because Rishi didn't understand his own covid support rules, built in several chasms between different types of support, and then refused to listen to business groups, professional bodies and some of his own MPs when they told him his support schemes had more holes than Swiss Cheese.

As if that wasn't bad enough, he then lied and claimed those excluded had been tax-fraudsters/evaders.

cardibach · 30/09/2023 12:14

@pointythings. 👏👏👏
I tried to click thanks but the line kept disappearing so I don’t know if it worked! Anyway. Thanks. Perfectly put. Loads on that other thread we’re discounting actual polling (and yes, it’s not 100% accurate but 20 odd points are unlikely to be totally wrong) because a few people on there agreed they wouldn’t vote Labour.

houselikeashed · 30/09/2023 12:17

Yet another family here excluded from his covid support schemes.
Not only was it bad enough not getting any financial help - DH industry (theatre) was closed for 16 months - but the lying and refusal to listen about it was deplorable. I will NEVER forgive him for the way he handled that.
I dislike him INTENSELY.

BitOutOfPractice · 30/09/2023 12:19

I also had zero help as the breadwinner of the family (dp training to be a teacher in lockdown so you can imagine what a shit storm that was too!). He gets no plaudits for his handling of Covid here either.

Thebestwaytoscareatory · 30/09/2023 12:23

Having Sunak as PM of your country is a bit like finding out the pilot of the plane you're on is a donkey.

No one can quite believe how they've ended up in this situation but they all know it's not going to end well.

TooBigForMyBoots · 30/09/2023 12:29

He's incompetent, insincere and corrupt. His own party members didn't even want him, he lost to Liz Truss.🤦‍♀️

GladAllOver · 30/09/2023 12:32

I said YABU, but only because he's a relief after the incompetent woman and the lying oaf before him.

HRTQueen · 30/09/2023 12:36

I find him insipid so when doesn’t being up to many feeling for me

I absolutely loath Liz Truss, such arrogance and it bothers me the last picture of the Queen was with her

I dislike Boris Johnson he had to be the most corrupt PM but find his appeal oddly fascinating
