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.

Every thing he comes up with goes completely against the common good. It's all wedge policies designed to appeal to the worst of us. He embarrasses us on the world stage.

Yes, I'm with the OP; I intensely dislike the man.

Yes. Every policy is designed to divide and weaken the country, never to unite us and help us grow. He doesn’t care though, as he will leave for America once he’s booted out, having ticked off ‘PM’ off his to do list.

Agree. He's a weak pathetic little rich boy. He looks small and slimey and weak to me. He has zero appeal and no back bone to speak of.
The being so Rich is an added dislike for me. They're all usually quite well off in the Tory party and have had a priveleged life but he's so rich he will never ever understand the middle to lower earning people and he only seems to genuinely want to help the rich and himself. Everything else is a power play to remain in number 10 and you can not trust he will impliment anything he promises. With the boat thing he's trying to entice back the racist brexiteers whom the party have lost a lot of during their reign due to Brexit not actually helping immigration and just making the country suffer.
I want him and his party OUT. It would be nice to never have to see his stupid face again. He reminds me of POB which for those too young, was a TV show for kids in the 80s. He was a wooden puppet with big ears and a puzzled expression.

SueDonnym · 01/10/2023 06:58

I felt he didn't get in instead of Liz Truss due to racism in the good ol' Tory heartlands.
I was shocked that as the country was in a disastrous situation the party members decided not to vote in a financier with banking experience but to vote for Truss - who had nothing sensible to say about anything imv.
I suspect there is still some underlying dislike from the party due to this.

He has been handed a complete mess. But is having to wheedle and switch policies in an attempt to stop a sweeping Labour victory (who also don't seem to have many answers to all the problems).

I quite like him but I don't think he is cut out to be a leader of men and as a rich rich man will find it hard to persuade the electorate that he is the best option as leader.

Poll lead for Labour has closed to 10 points.

You might not agree with him, there are clearly many who do.

I really hate the personal insults that our politicians get. Two have been murdered in recent years. MPs have families and most are trying their best for their communities.

By all means disagree with policy, but leave the playground bullying out of grown up political discussion.

Trying again with that latest poll!

To intensely dislike Rishi Sunak?
Lastchancechica · 01/10/2023 07:06

Something is going very wrong for Labour - look at the massive drop in support.

Pretty much coincided with Starmer announcing he would accept more migrants with a new deal with the EU, and he would reopen/water down the brexit deal as well. Big mistake clearly.

People want to move on and improve the things that matter. Crime, healthcare and security. No word on any of those things from the Labour leader though. What a liability.

Labour’s poll lead over Tories slashed to 10 points

The five-point drop for Sir Keir Starmer's party comes after the Prime Minister announced a watering down of net zero plans

@Daz57 They suffer constant personal abuse and threats from the keyboard warriors.

Keyboard warriors?! What, like - the electorate?

They do. That's why many still want a change of government after the Tory's have made a hash of it and made each of those things worse in the past 13 years.

And before you start with "you labour supporters or lefties" or whatever. I am not one. I have. I affiliation to any party. I'm a swing voter. I decide where my political alliances lay depending on what I see and what their manifestos state.

And what I see and feel is the country I live in getting worse year on year. Time to give someone else a go at getting it right. The conservatives have proved they don't have a clue.

I get it. You’re a staunch Tory, so wish to use #BeKind to kill the thread. Where are the examples of bullying on this thread? Yes a couple of people have said his clothes are small and he’s insulated by his vast wealth. That’s hardly bullying and calling for beheadings is it?

Meanwhile, Sunak can lead a government with a Home Secretary so racist, she’s being praised by the BNP and Britain First and we’re being criticised by the UN.

He’s extremely comfortable with trashing the planet, drivers speeding past schools and flies helicopters for trips up the road.

His Chancellor’s just about the announce another attack on the poor and disabled so watch those NHS waiting lists expand further as a result.

Many of his policies suspiciously seem to financially benefit his family including considering signing trade deals which transfer thousands of his FILs employees here.

His Eat Out to Help Out actively spread Covid, killed people and damaged the economy further. Yet he was very selective with whom he helped, e.g. you will have seen upthread how some have committed suicide or lost homes due to his Covid support policies. However, Michelle Mone was given millions by him for PPE which she instead spent on a yacht and he’s not even interested in recovering that money.

Sunak is the nasty bully here, not Mumsnetters who say his trousers are a bit short.

The problem is no one has any confidence in Starmer. There is no credible opposition. Starmer is handing the ejection win to the conservatives.

whatchagonnado · 01/10/2023 07:32

He always seems he's not quite up to the job to me. Some of his responses to questions are quite defensive. He looks like a little boy lost, way out his depth

Crapsummer2023 · 01/10/2023 07:37

Yes he becomes visibly defensive when challenged. It’s as though he’s been told he’s right all his life and can’t handle that he may be wrong.

His smirking admission that he doesn’t know any working class people, leads me to think he resents being questioned by those he deems beneath him in status. Hence the obvious irritation.

LizzieSiddal · 01/10/2023 07:39

Sunak as PM is what happens when you have Brexit and all the Remainer conservatives are either turfed out of the party (by Johnson) or resign because they don’t want to be associated with the liar Johnson. He’s a man of absolutely no substance who will say anything to save his own skin.

itsgettingweird · 01/10/2023 07:40

The problem is no one has any confidence in Starmer. There is no credible opposition. Starmer is handing the ejection win to the conservatives.

It's a large 10% majority of no one's then.

It’s shrinking rapidly and will continue to do so.

The majority of the country disagree with you. Labour are around 15-20 points ahead in every poll and have been for months.

I was referring to who people will vote for, not who they have confidence in.

Actually lots of people have confidence in Starmer. It's your darling Rishi that's a laughing stock.

LizzieSiddal · 01/10/2023 07:57

That poll you linked to still has them at 16 points ahead, and is one poll.
