Rishi Sunak & his supporters claim he has a 'mandate' to be PM because he's 'promised to deliver the original 2019 @Conservatives' manifesto'. This is obviously a profoundly misleading & antidemocratic lie: he has absolutely no intention of delivering the 2019 manifesto.

"Hospitals" are mentioned 19 times in their 2019 manifesto: it explicitly promises "40 new hospitals" THREE times, "ON TOP OF the 20 hospital upgrades".
This was always lie, & they certainly WILL NOT deliver "40 new hospitals" - Thus, they will NOT "deliver" the 2019 manifesto.

And now Sunak looks likely to abandon the “triple lock” protection for the state pension.
To legitimate ignoring two of their most important promises to the British people - while simultaneously claiming he has a 'mandate' to be PM - they simply say 'circumstances have changed'.

Circumstances CONTINUALLY change! They want to have their cake & eat it: promise the earth to gullible voters, then once elected, disregard the promises they had no intention of keeping & replace the PM TWICE - with both PMs having ZERO intention of delivering the 2019 manifesto.
At his first #PMQs Sunak said 'There are over 15,000 new police officers on our streets', yet since 2010, the number of officers fell by about 20,000, & in the year to March 2022, more than 8,000 police officers left forces in England & Wales, a 35% increase on the previous year.
Responding to the point that a nurse would have to work for *20,000 YEARS* to gain as much wealth as Sunak, he claimed that 'as chancellor, we introduced actually very strong pay increases [for nurses]'.
In the real world, the paltry increase was actually a real terms pay CUT.

Sadly, it's blindingly obvious that Rishi Sunak is just another liar, willing to lie in Parliament, lie to the British people, & lie to himself.
His promise to bring ‘integrity’ to No 10 is simply absurd - especially given that he reappointed Braverman.

Britain may already be an #Oligarchy: #Shell paid ZERO windfall tax in the UK, despite making record global profits of nearly £26BILLION (so far) this year after exploiting a tax break brought in by our latest unelected PM, ex-hedge-funder Rishi Sunak.
