How terrible can the future look for a billionaire former PM with guaranteed, extravagant income for the rest of his likely long, happy life? Get real.
Well yes, but there is also your place in history and legacy, those do not look good at all
It's his wife who has the money
@@1002l Who cares? Once you've passed on, you're soon forgotten, and the world keeps turning....
@@1002l. Well it didn’t exactly start with him did it? My god, if ever there was a poisoned chalice then he certainly got it, and yes there’s no doubt he played his part, but I think the two prior to him were far worse!
@@barriewilliams4526People still know of great and awful leaders long after they have died.
In the unlikely event that LD come 2nd he'd never be forgotten. Unfortunately I don't see that happening
Don’t feel sorry for the Tories, they are reaping exactly what they have sown.
And getting hammered at the election won't be the end of their judgement...
Don't feel sorry for Torries, they don't feel sorry for you!
Sow Labour, reap the whirlwind.
Sunak's future is one of wealth and privilege. He will sneak off to 'work' for some dodgy bank and make millions. Most of his colleagues will do the same.
They are all unscrupulous grifters
He doesn't need to work anywhere. He's one of the richest people in UK
I wouldn't bet on it.
Not only Sunak will make millions from the Bank he will have some sort of dear in the arms deal for a very near future ! I personally don't think we can blame all on Sunak..I blame him and much as I do the whole of Tory party !
*WHAT CAN YOU DO DIFFERENTLY...?* not be massively corrupt and evil for 14 years would be a good start
well said!
Not raising trade barriers with your largest market would also help.
No seats for those three clowns. Two weeks to go.
I can't believe my tax money will be spent on his ex-PM pension for the rest of his life
Three thieves going down. If the police investigate the corruption.
Deprived as a teen due to lack of Sky satellite dish. Real hardship.
Which was exposed as a lie.
You can see the scars.
The level of contempt many people feel for the Tories is visceral. I don't think the media has grasped this, yet.
They deserve ZERO SEATS
The fact the media keeps trying to change the topics to issues that don't effect 90% of the population feels either deliberate or a sign of how out of touch they truly are.
Vat on school fees is not a real issue. Neither is a potential capital gains tax. People might think they have to worry about inheritance tax but again over 95% don't have to pay it so again why is the media so obsessed?
Either they genuinely don't go outside their comfortable bubble or it's all a very subtle attack on the Tories. Either way it's just reminding everyone this is the part of the most wealthy and they're content for the rest to rely on the bright new shiny food banks. Relying on the forty new NHS hospitals delayed until the RAAC in the old ones have been fixed.
I am not sure that Sunak will be that concerned about his own future. At worst he will lose his seat. He is rumoured to be interested in moving to California. At best he will be an MP and resign the Tory leadership. Following such a bad defeat I don't think he will stay in Parliament for long because he will be very unpopular with his own party.
The right place for him to go is India .
He's clearing off to California asap.
Even the way Sunak walks shows how out of touch with normal people he is.
So is blonde mongrel but drinks and takes more drugs
So true. 700 million £ out of touch 😞
@@daydays12 They are all rich. Boris was asked the price of a loaf of bread and he had no idea, finally saying 10 to 20 pounds.
His walk reminds me of that rich Korean heiress who just pushes her luggage to one side knowing an aide is going to catch it. There's just this 'I say where's my butler?' vibe to everything he does.
Yet low and middle class still vote for them like lemmings. If Scotland could cut the island in half we would do it. Embarrassing sharing an island with such people.
Lord Sunak of Wealth will be fine.
Sunak is hated! And the more the people see him the more hes hated!
In my dream he is gone . No reincarnation for him.
Good he will get what he deserves owing to the HUGE cost he has caused us £8 MILLION PER DAY make him pay before he goes!
Lightweight; Truss cost UK £64B in 45 days.
July 4th is going to be one of the best and most memorable days of my life - the day when I and my family (my daughter is voting for the first time) walk into a polling station and help evict the worst government in my lifetime.
No the 5th
Well let’s hope your right. And let’s hope Labour wave the magic wand the country hope for
@@krishnagondhea7428a sure bet is they won’t,just blame the Tories for the next 5 years
THIS IS NOT A DONE DEAL UNTIL 4TH JULY GO OUT AND VOTE TAKE YOUR AUNTY YOUR GRANNY AUNT FLO DOWN THE ROAD THE LOLLIPOP LADY LET THIS BE THE BIGGEST TURN OUT EVER!!!!!! #TORIES OUT
Why the Caps
the Times is sad its corrupt friends are going down
I can't really afford luxuries like haribo at the moment.
Mortgage, Bills, Fuel, Insurance and the basics swallow it all up after what this lot have done since 2020.
Then again, I also haven't been able to get a dentist since I moved in 2022... So maybe no haribo is for the best.
since 2010
@@daydays12 I agree in principle, but the last 4 years have been far worse for me financially than those before. At least I could get a dentist and were paying £500 less on my rent at the time in 2019.
@@SteveeeeeeeeeeeeeFB I understand and sympathise. I'm a Brit (Scottish + English heritage) living in a large city ( not Paris ) in France :-
the French government gives me ( and millions of others) cheques to help me/us pay the electricity bill which is much lower than UK...the French government has a savings plan which pays you 6% tax free... you can pay in or withdraw any time you like.. I always get a doctor's and dentist's appointment when I want and X rays as well. I've been in and out of hospital - a French hospital saved my life.
The State pension I receive from the French government is twice that of the UK's and because it is not very high every year the tax authorities send me money ( a tax credit they call it). Inflation is about the same as UK
and has been consistently lower than that of the UK's for years.
All the shopping I need is in town and within walking distance so I don't need a car.
Rents are low compared with the UK ( I pay 516 euros = 436 £ for a lovely light 47 square metre = 506 square feet flat on the third floor
of an early 19th building with thick walls , triple glazed, over looking a quiet public square with a local café, a shop selling coffee and a big shop selling cards, wrapping paper, objects made of paper etc.
Tenants are pretty well protected.
The city I live in is a nice place to live, excellent public transport (b including a large tram network) cheap and free at weekends
it'd take too long to explain why the city I live in is nice so I won't.
Please let me know what you think of this comparison!
He has a full time pastry chef, he doesnt eat Haribo.
Torys deserve ZERO SEATS
Lib Dems should be the opposition, albeit they will be a small one.
It's just a mad thought, but could Sunak offer to waive/donate his pension once he leaves office? Imagine a Tory offering something gracious? Scandalous.
The Tories have been hated for years , going back to Johnson , I work all over the country, hated from Brighton up to Perth , ripped us all off especially with energy , we pay double not to pay for the cost of importing but for massive profits to the shareholders , if the price for importing had gone up then they should be making exactly the same profit as previous years, the Tories talk about Labour tax hikes but really you are paying another 1k a year for gas and electricity
Torys wanted to go for Nuclear power but we blocked by the Liberal Democrats and the green lobby.
Labour are going to tax private equity. Which is effectively your pension fund.
Sunak and his wife are billionaires. Their futures will be better than any of ours. Weird title
Obviously the headline refers to his electoral fortunes, not his wealth.
I bet Sunik hopes he loses his seat so he's got the perfect excuse to leave the shitshow that is the Tory party.
well, I'm devastated to hear that the man who earned 120 MILLIONPOUNDS last year, has a bad future....living in Malibu in a mansion....with an income of nine figures every year for the rest of his life... I have to be honest here and say HIS future looks an awful lot better than mine.
This guy is totally shameless.
Why is Sunak wearing a red tie? Is he actually a Labour supporter?
Probably
Probably
Republican
Austerity, Brexit, Boris, Truss.
They brought this on themselves.
Yeah. Good, Good, Bad, Bad isn’t a great record.
@@jimthompson9370 no it's very bad, very bad, awful and awful
Cruel, Wrong, Criminal, Clueless.
You're part of the problem if that's not a numbskull impression @@jimthompson9370
Brexit is just moving power from the EU Superstate to Westminster. You still have to VOTE in a positive government.
Corbyn should of accepted the result of the Referendum and set out an alternative direction. He was anti EU all his political life just like his hero Tony Benn.
'Sunak's future looks 'terrible'' what a nonsense! How can the future of a billionaire with a charming wife and 2 cute kids be terrible?
His political future may be bleak, but overall?
He does not have to live in the UK, he can go anywhere and have a great live.
His charming wife rattles in the bath.
Even the 🐑 sheep on the farm ran away from Sunak
The sheep are all voting for Labour, that's why.
Reform on 24% and growing fast, let's go!
@@sonofsomerset1695 😐
Sunak is going to need a lot of therapy after this to deal with the embarrassment of being in charge of such an epic fail...but at least Akshata Murty will tell him he's doing great job !
Bless ,sunak is heading to CA .
All that money and he can't find clothes that fit.
Sunak's future AS PRIME MINISTER looks "terrible", because he doesn't have one. But HIS FUTURE?? Are you serious? He'll retire to California and live the life of Riley with his fabulously rich wife. What torment.............
Why am I listening to this, I listened to this yesterday!
Sunak will shortly be living a life of absolute luxury in California, making many more millions.…….and his future looks terrible?? Yeah, OK.
Chew that pen!
Why can't she say "polls"? She keeps saying "pools" - it's weird.
Is it perhaps that not everyone in the UK has a standard English accent? I know, hard to believe right?
@jonm7272 Well, no, because in this case it's just pronounced wrong full stop. It's saying the wrong word. It'd be like saying "rules" instead of "roles".
@@tubey84 my apologies, I hadn't realised you were the deciding authority on pronunciation. p.s. you might want to ask someone from Hull how they pronounce "roles", funnily enough, it sounds exactly like "rules"
BREAKING NEWS: The United Kingdom contains differing regional accents! F**k me, revolutionary concept!
Every time the presenter hums and ah's she blocks us from hearing the person being interviewed! It's infuriating! Stop it! Try to stay quiet and LISTEN!
He doesn't eat Haribo Lady Sunak would allow it.
The way he breaths is annoying
As proven the day before, even sheep don't want to listen to Rishi Sunak and prefer to run away from him. I hope British voters feel the same way.
His future may look terrible as a politician but looks incredible as a hedge fund manager in the US
Why the shock of dishi Riishi and his incompetence,remember Liz Truss BEAT him,and a LETTUCE BEAT her,no more to be said.🤣🤣🤣
And now he's losing votes to a man who was beaten by a dolphin.
Betrayal has a price...
Let’s not eat our pens during a talk, bit distracting
The hems of his trousers are clearly out of touch with his shoes.
... our prime minister, highlighted his flippant knowledge of suffering and desperation , when he suggested he went without ...”Sky” !!! So removed from realisation of the people trying to make good.😔
The country has had enough of the tories can't see them getting back in for ages this lot has stained the party forever people will never forget partygate and truss absolutely disgusting people were dying alone and they were dancing and drinking sunak was one of em no they have to be got rid off
Morale is an issue for the Tories. The main issue though is no one believes them about anything and they can’t talk about their record because it has been 14 years of decline. Their only arguments are either lies about Labour or criticisms of Reform which the Tory base do not think are problems
Itchy Sack isn’t looking too happy lately.
Very disappointed in Sir Bob
Why does she have a dental hygienist as a sidekick?
How deep will the betting scandal go for the torys go? The worst campaign ever!
His future doesn't look terrible, his political career might be over.
But he's got a rosy future ahead of him, he seems happily married and they have two children. He's got a chance to dedicate much more time to his children, and he has the funds to never work again.
This isn't a terrible future. It's a dream to most.
I think Sunak found the job too much for him, needed too much time and attention, and did not bring him the status he craved which is why he just seems to be cruising along until July 4th when he will be ousted, he may hang on as an MP for a little while just to make it appear as if he was bothered
Great.
Tales of his personal history and giving it like everything is on the mend are the words of a man stuck down a cul de sac. Having to listen to it feels like salt in the wound.
Not forgetting Lady Truss of Lettuce…….
Polls are arguably the closest thing we (the general public) have to objective data during election campaigns. The last thing we should do is ban polls and rely entirely on the word of politicians, many who'd immediate exploit us not having line of sight to the state of things. If anything, we need MORE easily accessible and relevant data, not less of it.
Exactly. And every party would claim that momentum was building their way. And without any polls to challenge that, who would even be able to tell whether it was true or not?
Dentist before terrorist. Is that so unreasonable?
Zero seats
Slippery eel sunak 😂😂😂
A rat moves out of no10’, and a jackal moves in , what have you voters done
well said
Vote them out to nought...ooops they have a bet on that.......
Stop chewing your pen I meant to say!
Sunak - "I will still be a sitting MP even if we lose the election"
Also Sunak - "I got a USA green card, already put my daughters school applications through & bought a mansion in California"
Good
If your going to do a job as pm do it properly
If the Tories do succeed it'll be the first horseman of the apocalypse.
What happened to 'there isn't much enthusiasm for Labour or Keir Starmer' in this segment of your show? It's the second time in the past fifteen months that you've forgotten to mention it. I'm shocked. Could you actually be about to accept the fact that there might, in fact, be a certain amount of enthusiasm for them?
Maybe it's similar to liking the music of Barry Manilow or Cliff Richard- a firm denial if anyone asks, but secretly you have their albums and go to their shows! 😂
At least get the day of the election right
We are now in an era where the Opinion Polls have become more important than the key issues facing the nation. Polling has become big business and is driving almost all discussion. When we add the awful adoption of US style Personality Politics we have created a toxic brew that has delivered Boris Johnson & Nigel Farage and elevated them far beyond their level of ability and competence.
We need a radical revamp of our political system in order to meet the needs of the 21st Century. PR is going to be pushed to the top of the agenda following the 4th July. I would also move polling day to a Sunday or make it a national holiday. Giving the vote to 16 & 17 year olds would reinvigorate engagement with young people, allowing them to have a say in their future. Ban Polls during the election period and fund all political parties election campaigns from the public purse with strict limits. No more donations from big business, influential rich people.
This would revolutionise our system and ensure EVERY vote counts.
Sunack like Macron did really well in the international stage /nato . But both did shatting job with their own domestic issues and management.
It is outrageous that MPs are paid such an enormous salary with lots of add ons and when they are booted out they still get salaries, look at Truss, apparently because she was PM for a few days, she's entitled to receive £115,000.00 per annum. Why? Because they can. A worker, real worker gets zilch. Something must be done to put these dreadful things right. Also ex MPs being made lords should be banned and the house of lords dismantled, they are a waste of tax payers money. A lord is paid £300.00+ just to attend and they begrudge paying some poor soul on benefits up to £200.00 per week. This thievery has to stop. Sir Kier Starmer should start his first day as premier by increasing tax for the people on ridiculously high salaries, reinstate NI payments to fund the NHS, no one will be bothered about paying more for it. Remember boris cut taxes for those being paid ten times their worth, on his first day as premier.
How does it [his future] look terrible? He has completed his objectives, and now he will go and get hyper-wealthy working in the US.
Sunak and his missus are richer than king Charles he'll be off to santa monica soon leaving the Tories a wreck. 😢
Reform will get far more than one seat, what nonsense at the end 😂
who would have bet on that!!!!
Hung Parliament, Labour the largest party, Lab-Lib coalition. Mark my words!
Cobblers! See you in two weeks and one day for an unreserved admittance of your folly! 😂
The Tories have flopped for 14 years get them out.
Tories would sell there own Granny to make a profit 😂😂😂😂
I'm not advising voting for the Tories however, I can't imagine a sane person voting for a pathological liar such as Starmer.
Sunak will be in california by xmas. Hes not British, he has no ties here, we're just a stepping-stone for him.
Just go tichy just hand over the keys to no 10
The polls are stable. The error margin is creating big changes in numbers of seats
They are nothing of the sort.
For goodness sake. Stop talking about the polls and focus on the parties' policies. This isn't journalism.
They cant talk about policies, because then too many people would notice there's hardly any difference between tories and Labour, and even more would wake up and vote Reform.
He’ll be in America by September. You watch.
Need changes, until not will be best.
Sunak's future looks sunny. He'll be in Santa Monica, California by August 1st. He's finished in politics. He saw a sinking ship heading for an iceberg and chose to jump on it and helm it straight into the iceberg.
Stig chews his pen before letting rip 😂
So funny listening to the Tory supporting journalists on this station holding a 6-week long funeral for their beloved party. Can't wait to see the pivot post-election as they immediately turn their ire towards Starmer!
GG , what one MP for now .?
Vote Labour ,get the Tories out.
Here's Sunak.......here's a pineapple. Guess where that goes............................
Two thoughts before chickens are counted (1) there is only one poll and that will happen on the 4th July, the rest is bunkum drummed up by another group who are unable to do a proper job and (2) if as predicted it is a low turnout then remember that traditionally labour voters stay at home.
Please please please people Vote for Reform party to get some normality in our once great country... Labour will be a disaster we all know..with Shariah LAW soon to pass..is this what we want for our kids ? Specially our daughters grandkids !
Don’t dislike Sunak as such. But the Tory party are terribly awful. Though Sunak is clearly clueless and bumbling. He comes over as pretty inoffensive for a Tory.
Whats he ona plane for now
He doesnt have a future in the UK
