  1. He should Resign..His not Fit… Boooooo Sunak

  2. So Sunak wants to send the failed minister coffee ? why not she can live on the tax payers expenses , have a holiday to get her out of the way. This was a holiday stama had his hands in the tax payer till for.

    Clearly there is a national emergency in the UK after four months when MPs did not doo a stroke of work but expect the taxpayer to pay them ?

    He has to prioritise

    Severely disabled blind people have still not received benefits since the 2nd June 2022 due to the collapse in the post office payment systems. The DWP in 5 months are still not competant enough to put a new system in place, they new about in January 2022.

    Sunak has told the local government association to find savings..there are not any savings here either. Surrey county council cannot meet their legally required care requirements for the severely disabled blind. This comes after the council admits it is on the edge of bancrutcy as starma puts it because its been forced to spend this money on trying to accommadate illegal afgan migrants which no one voted for. This is clear Boris incompetance backed up by the failed sunak.

    We can all see why the local government association now wants to terminate all liability for housing or accommadating illegal afgan or other migrants. That is the end of the right wing tories with such a failed policy.

    The disability charities now want £4500 to be given to the severely disabled blind to meet upto 9 k utility bills in the next 12 months and full funding of the mandatory grants for wheelchairs,crutches and electronic devices. This comes 18 months after back bench MPS want severely disabled blind to be zero rated for these items.I

    t is clearly important not to have tax cuts by energy bill releif. The most sensible plan would be to increase incomes for the blind and disabled by 170 % . This will make the economey more resilent with this community experiencing 18% inflation in 2021,and estimate inflation rates of 39% 2022. This is the recognition that serely disabled blind experience between 3 and 5 times higher inflation from the rest of the country. The 150 pounds is clearly vastly inadequate and is unlikely to be paid for this group anyway as sunak clearly discriminates against blind severely people in his cabinet.

    Its an insult for any MP to leave this country until he fixes the not fix for purpose DWP,inadequate levels of inome for the severely disabled, and Passess the Disability Enforcement Act 2022 with urgeny following the great rise in attacks on severely disabled blind people as society breaks down. The police have urged the government to pass this act immediately to allow further police powers to deal with this rise of attacks on very vulnerable people.

  3. Tossing insults back and forth will absolutely lead to nothing being accomplished.

  4. What's the name of the show, is it on Netflix?

  5. Rishi Sunak had great comebacks, even greater than what was edited here…

  6. 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡. Work haven’t started yet but the quarrelling did. 😂😂😂. Lets see how long this “Indian” prime minister will last. Return the diamond on the crown to India before you being kicked out. 🤡🤡all British 🤡🤡

  7. Its like roasting each other …! Looks comic to me

  8. British-Indian* more accurate

  9. rishi snail 🐌 is pm 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  10. A coup for the "The World Economic Forum" as they take control of the the British Government, and not a shot was fired.

  11. The people are not happy with having this new leader. They say he's too rich and out of touch with the people. Yes, he is a multimillionaire so representing a nation where most of the people are struggling to pay for food and bills in poverty and with further inflation on the way, this man will become more hated because poverty will increase even further among the struggling masses.

  12. Bro this ain’t even politics no more it just a roast battle

  13. UK 🇬🇧 politics……..lol 🤣 looks like comedy central

  14. the queen is dead and a Hindu is prime minister….can't get any worse…can it???…small wonder Harry chooses California….and much better weather too

  15. England : is now truly an empire
    Christian king 👑
    Hindu Prime minister
    Muslim Mayor
    Mixed race grand kids potential heir to the throne
    Let's go Duchess Meghan

  16. Shashamane. In the 1960s, Rastafari immigrants from the Caribbean began to settle on land near Shashamane which had been set aside for them by Emperor Haile Selassie I. Subsequently, Shashamane has become known for its cannabis cultivation, largely meant for local consumption

  17. The way they talk to each other seems so counter productive.

  18. “I am the PM of UK, who am I? I’m the Vespasian Flavius of UK politics, I’m going to last longer than Galba, Otho and Vitellius because am the number four in the race to the throne and there’s no number five, Titus Flavius is still a child to give me a long lease of life”

  19. Obama will go down as the 3rd greatest president in US history, after Lincoln and FDR. Trump will always rank at the bottom. Stubborn facts.

  20. Stocks are good but I swapped and invested in Forex and Bitcoin trading I've been making good profit

  21. Keir is so impressive man …

  22. In Hindu Literature , the Rishis are sages and seers; in modern times, Rishi Rich is a popular British-born musician and record producer
    Rishi Sunak is the current British Prime Minister
    2* How timely for Britain to have a Rishi namesake especially when their economy has hit rock bottom and thousands are jobless
    3*A Rishi to float the pound and another Rishi to dance away the blues
    4"What Racist must know is that A Coloured will never never be chosen as a top footballer , model ,actress , President or Prime Minister! If that individual cannot contribute or SAVE the White Man's BUSINESS ,COUNTRY ,or Economy !!
    5 Has it not been proven in History for hundreds of years , They have no Challenge from the Government's they represent or the famous Financial Controllers of the World as they need someone to continue spinning the pound and US Dollars
    6*The Wars they participate in is causing the same governments to crash economically especially today and now
    7* Is there any other British politician better than Rishi to keep afloat the drowning pound and uplift the economy?
    8*Or is there a better Political Candidate who is a Billionaire at the helm of one of the most financially sound organisations in the world to offer to sit in a job as mundane as a Prime Minister to serve a Country of people that focus only on colour and Asian or African heritage to make judgement
    9* In terms of time value Rishi certainly outnumbers most politicians and Leaders
    His 1 hr to serve people will cost him thousands of pounds which he has to sacrifice sitting.in Parliment or engaging with public problems

  23. When will UK return Indian money respected PM sir Rishi Sunak ? 300 years of exploitation and India went backwards by 100's of years

  24. Rishi and Suella are Trojan horse of Labour.

  25. is this a roast battle?

  26. Some wisdom to this I think. The Leader must still debate the leader of the opposing party regularly, they don't just go away is in the US.

  27. Electing the person who was in charge of the economy as it went downhill to higher office entrusted to fix the problem doesn't quite make sense.

  28. To all people saying Rishi is gonna be the next Obama just because he’s not white needs to remember that he was not elected by the people and he also comes from privileged background. His wife’s families are sprawling with controversies due to their shoddy business conduct not to mention they also have several cases of tax evasion. So clearly if they think that he’s gonna side with poor people and person of color are clearly delusional.

  29. Uk will be corrupt as india.

  30. it's a circus, our democracy, joyful to watch though, since we all paid for this sh** show

  31. Right away they want to rehash the past instead of moving forward to solve their country's problems.

  32. Rishi Sunak is cheap shttt from Africa Aboriginal people village.

  33. What a shitshow 😅

  34. And, the globalist swamp rats unite.

  35. Canadian Parliament also has Question Period. Best Sitcom on TV 😂
