Sunak: Stupid or a bare faced liar?

[TooBigForMyBoots]

In last night's debate, he repeatedly made a big deal out of a "completely independent report" about Labour costing £2000 per household. It was his answer to nearly everything.

But it was known to be a lie. So why did he tell it? Did he think people wouldn't find out? Has he not learnt that the country is sick to the back teeth of lying Tory PMs?

Who thought this was a good idea?

Thanks to everyone who's posted so far.

I voted Rishi Sunak is stupid. His leaving the D-day commemoration proves it.

I think pp is a spoof.

Bet he still wins his seat though.

Me too. That's why they remind me of Joe Lycett when he was on some politics show.

I bet he does. Won’t they be pissed off when he immediately resigns it?

After the last few days I don’t actually understand why he wants to be PM unless it’s just to enrich himself. He has no political nous. Just a very rich guy who always has a veneer of “don’t you know I am very rich? Don’t ask questions”

To a large extent his wealth is his wife's and is a result of her father's business.

I wouldn't be surprised to find there is a huge chunk of inferiority or a sense of having to be 'as powerful' or keeping up with the in laws that's driven him. It doesn't seem to be a need to provide public service, for sure.

Good point.
