Rishi Sunak has presided over some of this government's cruellest decisions. Don't let them persuade you that he's the saviour who will rescue us from this mess.
It reminds me of how Gordon Brown, having financed the Iraq War and ripped public services apart through his Private Finance Initiative, was presented as the saintly alternative to Tony Blair.
And still is ....
And still is ....
Alongside all the other horrors, never forget how Sunak shovelled money into the pockets of second home owners, rewarding rich people for extreme selfishness, while exacerbating the housing crisis.

There are plenty of economic obscenities in England, but few as gross as this:

Instead, Sunak has *subsidised* them.

In short, he couldn't give a femtodamn about the people of this country.
*1 femtodamn = 10 to the minus 15 of a damn.
