Sunak Campaign Video

[Paigntonian]

Apologies if this has been posted before but it's so cringing it's required viewing. Just hope it does not give anyone a sleepless night. He won't win any way.

[anneasquith]

I think it’s ok, at least he’s showing some professionalism, certainly more than Boris.
He and his family have had an interesting life.

[Paigntonian]

But it does show how long the little plotter has been...plotting. All a bit Clinton for me. He'll lose anyway.

[anneasquith]

You think truss will win ?
I saw a post on AB a few days ago describing truss as the ‘ Pound shop Maggie thatcher ‘.:-)

[tomus42]

Don't forget that party members are deciding who wins Anne, not normal people. They love the whole pound shop Thatcher image.

[anneasquith]

Tom, I don’t see the attraction of truss as PM, but I’m an ordinary person :-)

[FatticusInch]

I tolerated it until he mentioned honesty.
He wasn’t honest enough to confirm that Johnson is not honest when asked, Tugendhat was the only one who did, kudos for that alone.
If he was honest he’d have resigned far earlier from the cabinet instead of giving ‘the benefit of the doubt’.
As Jess Phillips asked last week, where were the honest cabinet members who spoke up when Pincher was appointed?

All of these questions and more will come back to haunt them at the next GE.

I think that too much emphasis was placed on the history of his family during the introduction.

[Gromit]

Not a Sunak fan but I thought that was very impressive.
He is probably the better candidate, but he was instrumental in the downfall of the great Liar, so Tora and the blue rinse brigade will never forgive him.

It’s the party members who might choose her but it’s the ordinary people of this country who will choose her and it puts Labour 15 points ahead if she is Prime Minister. Personally I don’t know anyone who likes her and I certainly will not vote for her if she becomes Prime Minister.

//But it does show how long the little plotter has been...plotting. //

Surely any Chancellor or Minister should prepare for the possibility of a leadership race. From any party?

Once its called its too late, then you all bash them for not being prepared.

[tomus42]

Riptide and annea, that was my point. Tory party members seem to like her, but I don't think she'll be popular with the floating voters that are going to decide the next GE result.

[Paigntonian]

Can't help but think Sunak is playing a Heseltine to Thatcher. He who wields the knife seldom wears the crown.

[gulliver1]

He would have stood out better if he had borrowed, Boris's High- Vis jacket and white builders helmet.

[ToraToraTora]

Nice video but I still think he comes across like an East End wide boy.

[DTCwordfan]

I'd like to see Boris back on the ballot - bet he'd win!

[anneasquith]

Gully. He can’t get the hi viz, Boris might need in the future . :-)

By a country mile!

11.02 TTT Agree with you ,Greasy and Slimy

[FatticusInch]

The problem for Sunak is that this video has gone viral.


Whilst his campaign video didn’t.
Neither will matter much to the Tory party faithful but the public will recall it come the GE.

[Paigntonian]

Fatt; Agree, but didn't we all say something stupid when we were that young?
