A man committed to public service could be exactly what saves the Tories
Within moments of Rishi Sunak being announced as Britain’s next Prime Minister, the Labour Party attacked his wealth as if it were a moral failing.
MP Nadia Whittome quickly wrote on Twitter: “Rishi Sunak and his wife sit on a fortune of £730m. Remember this whenever he talks about making ‘tough decisions’ that working-class people will pay for.”
It was a purely divisive statement now typical of the class warfare Labour thinks will win them the next general election. To the dimwits in the party, a multimillionaire PM during a cost-of-living crisis is somehow paradoxical; you cannot be wealthy and a decent human. Property is theft and excessive riches should be funding public services, and so forth.
During Mr Sunak’s first Prime Minister’s Questions, Richard Burgon MP also pointlessly claimed a nurse would have to work 20,000 years to amass the Prime Minister’s fortune.
