What really grates is that even the disapproving coverage is tending to focus on the fact that Sunak was trotting out this shite while Esther Ghey was visiting the House. Given that he’s been pushing this line for what feels like aeons now, all he had to do to avoid the backlash was not behave like a smirking dickhead for one day.

Considering the paucity of material he’s got to hand, I have a horrible feeling that the upcoming election is just going to be Sunak repeating ‘Doesn’t even know what a woman is…The Member for Islington North…’ on a loop until we all slit our wrists from boredom.

Given how desperate Sunak is becoming I wonder at what point he will go nuclear and appoint Boris Johnson as party chairman.
Sunak has hinted today that he wouldn't rule out putting Johnson in his cabinet but the only way he could get Johnson in the cabinet would be to either give him a peerage or make him party chairman.

Neither would be a surprise. We can but hope he'd end up like the last popular with the members party chairman peer.

I'm sure I read last week that over 50% of schools are now in deficit so I'm guessing none of those schools will be in any rush to take on the burden of paying for one to one tutors.

School finances must have been well and truly screwed by rising energy cost as well as the extremely high costs of covering for absent staff. The supply agencies are charging excessive amounts of money for cover staff and if schools try and employ staff who were initially introduced to them via an agency the agency insists on schools paying them 6 months worth of commission.

The rate he’s going, everyone in that GB News crowd *is* the audience who still want to hear from him and that’s as wide as it’ll get. And even then I bet a good proportion are paid fillers.

What did he do, get his protection officers to give the guy a kicking afterwards?

GB News ‘ordinary people’ should have been a home crowd but it’s also the anti-vax mentalist’s TV station of choice. Poor Rishi can’t catch a break.

Glad the debate (with no opposition parties) went well. And anyway, the problem may not be undecided voters so much as those who've decided already to boot you lot out.

But I thought GBNews was all about anti establishment thinking?

Side note: he got an RAF jet to fly 200 miles to take him home. It took longer than if he’d got the train.

Let him keep doing these “honest and frank”events, as long as he keeps talking to such a supine audience he’ll think everything’s going smoothly, such is his acceptance of anything outside of his bubble
