LiberalFox Posted 24 October 2022 Share Posted 24 October 2022 Few people become PM for the money, there are much better ways to chase wealth. It usually attracts a certain type of person. I think you have to find the fame and power attractive on some level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no real "benefit" to him, in the way it benefits Johnson and Truss. We live in hope! Also think we might get a point against ManCity on Ssturday!!🤣 HOPE!

foxile5 Posted 24 October 2022 Share Posted 24 October 2022 We're now at our 4th unelected prime minister and this one was second place in popularity within his own party to Liz Truss. Shambles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the ability to shape policy and procedure in such a way that you're wealth is enhanced and protected. Not to mention the ability to earn hands over fists after leaving office. Make no bones about it - the financial benefits are a huge interest to someone like Sunak. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, his family need no assistance to protect their wealth. policy in this country isn’t that relevant to his father in law’s global business. His wife’s worth is well in excess of £500m - even if she wanted to drop him, he would be entitled to a huge wedge in a divorce settlement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 24 October 2022 Share Posted 24 October 2022 I’ve just seen some bloke on Sky state that Sunak will be out of touch due to his Wealth. Then demand a general election. Kier Starmer is worth over £7m! He’s hardly on the bread line is he 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
