All eggs in one final basket.

Even now though, some of the membership have started complaining.

I hope he is not just a very naughty boy

He has got to be better than the last two, I thought nobody could be worse than Johnson then along came Truss and proved me wrong.

When the BBC started having comments about Sunak’s appointment from someone in Delhi, I raised my eyebrow somewhat and was concerned how this might play into the hands of racists, especially since the counterargument so far has been that he was born in the UK.

On reflection though, I suspect the name of the game is to use his skin colour (sorry to be so blunt!!) to our advantage, in that we have a man from the global community running the shop, ready to work and forge relationships (business, diplomatic etc) in a manner that hasn’t the UK’s traditional little Englander outlook. Potentially useful given that we are trying to develop non EU marketplace deals.

Media have dubbed PM sensible Sunak.
President Biden ‘Rashid Sanook’: poor man got it muddled but everyone knew what he meant and applauded, loudly.

well we’ve seen to supposed winners already and look what happened to them maybe third time unlucky heh?

Dreading a Labour government. PM question time should be a little more ‘normal’.

@gumbud pray that PM will be a blessing in disguise, if he has
been set up then the Conservative party will be destroyed.

@OldGreyFox The photograph of the King first meeting him looked like they at least will be able to have meaningful audiences.

Form over function, we just need creditable function to prove either way.
