He was elected without a vote from party members which makes me wonder why we had to have party members voting last time and not this time?
UK's first British Asian prime minister and at 42 is the youngest PM in over 200 years.
How long will this one last?
(ironically "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC is blaring out of my speakers as I typed this thread!)
Earlier, Boris Johnson pulled out of the leadership race, saying he had the support needed to stand but it would not be "the right thing to do".
This coming from a man who has no idea of what that even means. More like he didn't have the support and had to save face. Just fk off and wither away, please.

Don't forget:
"I was at HMP Pentonville last week. They've now got patrol dogs who are barking, which helps deter drones"

The only thing barking is her. Barking mad. | | | |

Not any longer. If you speak too loudly you can actually be arrested under the Tory's new Policing Act. |  | | |

Yep and anyone who has protested in the last 5 years can be fitted with an ankle tag to track your movements.
Meanwhile a Tory MP can be charged with rape and not even be suspended from parliament.
Welcome to the Brexit Police State. [Post edited 28 Oct 2022 14:17]

It’s an opinion piece by a very well respected Indian writer and while you may disagree with his point of view I don’t think it conveys at all what you allege. I found it insightful, thanks for posting the link. | | | |

I just don’t understand the obsession with his race. The Guardian seems to have been falling over backwards all week to press home the message that ‘yes he’s bame but not the right type of bame’.
Personally I think it’s shameful but each to their own. |  | | |

Anybody who went to a public school, Oxford University and marries a billionaire's daughter can get to the top. Irrespective of colour or religion. |  |

so, the real determinant in Britain is class and wealth rather than colour? Get away! |  | | |

Don't really see the problem here. The writer isn't slagging off Sunak's race or religion at all, he's written an opinion profile that paints him in an unfavourable light. Not unfair and not untrue. |  |

A critical opinion profile that focuses heavily on his race and religion. The article positions him as not really Hindu, an “overpromoted desi” and a “collaborator with white ruling classes or political passivity”. It infers that he’s sold out his ethnicity for white complicity. It states that, as “twice migrants” his family were “better placed” to benefit from globalisation
Regardless of the writer’s surname. Leave his background out of it. There is no way in hell this would be written about a Labour politician, it’s designed to position him as not really of his own ethnicity. | | | |
