He would look at former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and current Mayor Sadiq Khan and dismiss them as insufficiently British.

Remember also that when Sunak stepped down, Priti was put forward for leader.

The man who says Rishi Sunak is not English [0] might be lying?

Rushi Sunak ancestry is obviously Indian.

What's really odd is that Rishi Sunak is extremely proud of his ethnicity and heritage, it's unfortunate that we've made it almost impossible for other people's to have that same pride.

I don't think anyone is claiming that Rishi Sunak isn't a UK citizen, but he certainly isn't a member of the English ethnic group, or any of the Celtic ethnic groups that also make up the UK's native population.

Yet nobody in the UK gives a stuff, other than those who thing the Chagosians are being done in And a few months ago America was endorsing the plan Worth nothing that this was a Tory inititive -- Truss and Sunak did pretty much all the work, it was their idea.

If there are any chips on shoulders, it's more to do with the government talking itself up, throwing around some feel-good bullshit, usually entirely mis-targeted (see for example Sunak talking about making a safe space for blockchain companies) and then failing to get out of the way when the country actually does produce something amazing.

She reframes Clegg at Meta and Sunak at Microsoft not as a "revolving door" but a "circuit of influence" - power flowing continuously between capitals and Silicon Valley.

One thing that frustrated me around this time was that the UK's "stop the boats" campaign (although launched under Sunak) was just a lazy clone of an anti-immigration slogan first launched in Five Eyes partner Australia back in ~2013.

The other week I was asking ChatGPT about the UK PM, and had to stop the generation early because it started ~"Prime Minister Rishi Sunak…" The unreliability is also why techniques as simple as "ask 5 times and have it take a vote of its own answers" boost performance.

"In 2024, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak described the scandal as one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British history" that's almost 10 years after it ended and 25 years after it started, rather too late to undo all the harm.

That was basically Rishi Sunak, but going beyond that voters really hate it when you make the corporate control obvious.

Rishi Sunak's as sharp a guy as you're likely to meet, but as the Economist noted, rarely met a bad idea he didn't warm to.

Ironically, when the boot was on the other foot like revelations about Boris Johnson or Rishi Sunak's own illegal use of WhatsApp to hide activities covered by public records laws, they backed off.
