Hilarious watching this unfold.

I couldn't give a stuff about his wife's legal tax affairs, but watching them now say she will begin to pay UK tax on all earnings is like the shoplifter offering to return the goods after they have been caught on CCTV, and then expecting the world not to view them as a thief.

Too late my friend, too late. The media you thought you were clever enough to control has turned on you, as has the public who's sense of outrage and blindness to hypocrisy in this twitter verse is boundless.

I wouldn't start paying all that tax matey - your career trajectory is downwards only from now on. No point.

There's no such thing as a honest politician !

Sadly voting is not the answer it does not work.

Another WEF/Davos reptile.

I'm more worried about the lack of competency in most modern politicians rather than their honesty.

Also, isn't it worrying how little political nous Sunak has shown: how could he have not seen this coming!!!?

Voting:I agree it doesn't work if we mean the ability to change anything fundamental. It works on an individual MP level, but doesn't change the system we live under.

It may be best that it doesn't...

I don't think most people now would care if they lost the vote, actually. Sure there would be outraged "intellectuals", media uproar and a couple of riots. But most people would just slump back on the sofa to play the next PlayStation game or binge watch the next Netflix "thing". They are content that the system is stable for them.

This too may be a good thing.

the real mystery is why Rishi Sunak wants to be a politician when his wife is so rich?

Seems my confident prediction (always spot on, never wrong except occasionally) that he was PM material, a tad wrong this time.

Yet again Harold Wilson's spot on statement strikes : "7 days is a long time in politics"

Goodness Hedda you make it sound like people only want to get to the top in politics to make a lot of money! There is also the joy of power; though in the grand scheme of things the PM doesn't have much....

Why does he want to do it? Going by the risks he took to keep hold of money, I would say it is a safe bet that for him, being chancellor/pm is lucrative in some way or another.
I suspect something huge has been missed.

Of course, we could all see how he basked in the adoration when he was splashing free money about a couple of years ago, so that will have been a bonus for him.

I hope Sunak pretends to be principled in the next couple of days and resigns; thereby bringing Boris down with him. Liz Truss, after all, waits in the wings to remind us all that we are not a country devoid of great leaders these days...
