  • Given we all know rishi is only in this for personal gain we need to look at where benefits for him come.

    In or out as PM doesn't matter, he will stay till some personal goal (such as the India trade deal) is achieved or can definitely no longer happen in this parliament.

    At this point he will call a GE and walk away.

    Not that it's for me to stick up for Sunak, but if he was really only interested in personal gain, he'd have stayed running a hedge fund. He'd make a lot more money doing that than he ever will as a politician, active or otherwise.

  • It's vanity isn't it

  • I'm with Eskay.

    Also, it depends if you consider changing law to allow companies you essentially own (through family) abroad to enter a market they have limited exposure to to be a small gain Vs running a hedge fund. The family wealth is Infosys not his hedge fund "winnings".
    (though these weren't small in the scheme of average UK salaries)

    He'll get his rewards later. These people are just placeholders put there to push through private interests. Whatever corruption happens, if it happens, won't be openly traceable, but Sunak will be very, very wealthy when he's done. See how much money Johnson's had shovelled down his gullet since. Sunak's 'freeport' project will be worth far more to, to pick a completely random example, Indian business tycoons than what Johnson's done (or not done).
