Sunak: There is Still Hope! (Really?)

The cost of living is going through the roof. We are all feeling it in our purses, wallets, accounts, etc. Unless you are in a certain financial bracket like Prime Minister Rishi Sunak or Chancellor Jeremy Hunt. These men, even if they tried, cannot possibly understand, the plight of ordinary folk as they struggle to put food on the table. Sunak is the richest MP and probably the richest Prime Minister ever. He and his other half Akshata Murty, enjoy a lifestyle most of us will never see. Wishy-Washy Boy is richer than King Charles III. As Sir Keir pointed out to him at Prime Minister's Questions: "How can you possibly understand what people are going through? When you are hovering in your private helicopter looking down on those struggling on the ground".

Sunak promised to halve inflation at the beginning of 2023. However, events have come along to rather shake up the economy. And put a dent in Sunak's prediction of halving inflation.

Sunak speaking in a warehouse in Kent said everything is "going to be okay". There was a shock to the economic system (as it were) as the rate rose to 100%. Mr. Sunak said he was "100% on it". The Prime Minister said he is working to reassure the public that "everything will be okay". Inflation rates are stuck in high percentages and Bank of England rates remain at 5%. Sunak echoed his previous mantra that people should not worry period.

That's all well and good for people like Sunak. Even if Sunak and Hunt can balance the books people remain for now, under the boot of high prices. Energy prices are coming down. However, the rise in the cost of living has transferred from our energy bills to the retail sector.

Sunak said despite the alarming news he believed his prediction to halve inflation was still possible. When Mr. Sunak was asked if his policies in handling the economy were working Sunak remained defiant. Sunak said people would judge him and how the economy was doing in "6 months, 9 months, 12 months".

Sunak knows the clock is ticking to the next general election. Sunak does remain popular but to most, he is as about as useful as a 'wet lettuce'.His moniker 'Wishy-Washy' is not given to this first Hindu Prime Minister for nothing.

The Conservative party if polls are to be believed could lose as many as 1 in 3 MPs. The Conservatives have been in power for too long and have devastated this country. 13 years of disaster, corruption, criminality, and 5 Prime Ministers must come to an end. People must vote their feet in 2024 and kick this regime out of office. The Tories must be put out to pasture for a good number of years if not forever.

One fears, however, that there are some despite what they have been through, who still vote Conservative. If the Conservatives are returned to power in 2024 then it shows how stupid we have become. Yet, sadly, that seems to be the mentality of many today. People still have the inkling they are suffering and yet, still prefer, to continue their suffering. This is the scenario that will continue if Sunak and Hunt are returned to power. If you happen to be well off then why wouldn't you vote Tory? People like Sunak, Hunt, etc, represent the rich and these people have always been the Comservative's voting base. The Conservatives say they want to help the working class and there are indeed, working-class Tories. However, much of their base support remains for those who have more cash than the rest of us.
