I hope so too but with his family's connections to BP I doubt it.
Oh, sorry. Sunak has already said that there's no public interest in that story so never mind.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Why in the feck is this silly bint allowed to say anything at all after the damage she has caused?
- praising her own party's record.
We need a list of "economists" attending that.
A debt spiral she is primarily responsible for.
Tory economics...
Doctor paid £3,000 for shift as new strike begins
'Paying for cover is costing hospitals three times more than they save in the wages deducted from striking junior doctors, hospitals are reporting.'

I’d be interested to know if the doctor was paid £3000 or if they paid £3000 for the doctor with a private agency getting a big cut.
This is what happens when you do policy just to survive.
Was this Rishis last throw of the dice and it's backfired massively?
Don't mind an annual Tory Implosion just before Christmas. Should deffo be a thing.

How is he this bad? They had a cabinet meeting yesterday, where this wasn't mentioned, then out of the blue, he announced this at 11 p.m. last night and then has to have an emergency cabinet meeting today, 12 hours later, because its already gone so bad.
This is Liz Truss-level shit.
With these lot so unimaginably bad, I wish Labour had just a little more ambition. They have the breathing room to make a difference.
I feel like whereas other PMs and MPs are beholden to lots of lobby groups, Sunak is beholden to the business interests of his family.
It’s only a matter of time before we find out which of his family businesses would have benefited from this policy or that his wife just so happened to purchase tens of millions of shares in Shell.
Ford are pissed off because they've completely dropped the ball on the shift to EVs. They were late to release EVs, they had to farm out much of the work to other manufacturers, and now they've had the hair brained idea of canning most of their traditional lineup. The whole of Europe is backtracking on it and nobody else seems to be upset.
So far Peugeot, Vauxhall, Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen have all issued statements criticising the move so it's definitely not just Ford.
They asked for policy consistency, a different thing to Ford. Only Ford and Volvo signed the open letter to the EU supporting total EV transition.
Apparently it was leaked which shows just what a shambles it is. Labour have committed to keeping the same targets so they have for once drawn a dividing line. Desperate measures by Sunak here.
If it gets to the point of no confidence votes, does he call an election, try and stay strong till the election with no support from his party, or just resign?
I think it’s crazy that every time a Tory speaks, I think they’re the worst of the bunch. Listening to Sunak, I can’t even decide if he’s the worst of the bunch. Yesterday, I thought it was Truss…days before, Braverman, months before, Boris.
A party from hell.
A party from hell.
Presumably Sunak does realise that 80% of the cars produced in the UK are exported (at least before the new rules come in to operation) . And an even higher percentage of UK new car registrations are imports.
He’s a moron and as self-serving as they come.
None of these things have even been announced. Fecking cretin.
It's worrying that politicians still seem to think that we will be able to properly take on climate change measures without an impact on peoples lives. It's just the tories pandering to their crowd as usual unfortunately (and it will work).
It is quite something when scaling back policies to get to net zero and save our planet is considered a vote winner. Unelected with no mandate

Like unelected officials in Brussels?
The compulsory car sharing was quite funny - You knock on your neighbour's door and force them to go shopping and to work with you. - "But I don't want to go!" they cried.
So this will be the big thing for the GE - turning THE feckING ENVIRONMENT into a culture war!
He’s also done Starmer a huge favour because, without even doing anything, Labour are now the green option!
Who's up for a banana republic?

One of the main reasons politics is in the gutter in this country is the disinformation we are regularly exposed to.
This is in the bbc websites main story..
"A drivers campaign group said it was"delighted" by the delay, arguing the policy costs outweigh the benefits.
Fair Fuel UK said the original plan was "always doomed to be dropped".
NO mention that fair fuel is a hard right wing pressure group led by an ex brexit party candidate....a quick look at their website shows their main ethos is climate science denial...

UK’s GB News found in breach of impartiality rules
Daniel Thomas in London
GB News, the right leaning UK TV channel, breached impartiality rules by airing an interview of the British chancellor conducted by two of his fellow Conservative MPs, the country’s media watchdog has found.
Ofcom’s decision reflects growing concern over impartiality of media given the widespread use of politicians to present news and current affairs programmes, and especially by GB News, which is being investigated for six further potential breaches of impartiality.
Ofcom said the programme, presented in March by Esther McVey and Philip Davies, two sitting Conservative MPs, was “overwhelmingly reflective” of opinion within the party.
It featured a pre-recorded interview with Jeremy Hunt on the government’s economic and fiscal policies ahead of the Spring Budget.

But what will actually happen? feck all I expect.
Indeed.
But you know that this announcement by Sunak will go down well with a lot of people who think that man made climate change is just a figment of the imagination of the so called green lobby.
And he knows this.
It is up to Labour to call this out for what it is..... the last roll of the dice by a morally bankrupt and increasingly desperate Tory government.
Honestly, I really didn't think that they would stoop so low.
Rushi Sunak. The man of the people. My hero...
They’ve exhausted the demonisation of migrant boats in the channel, environment is the logical next thing on the list. And I’m quite confident he’ll personally profit from diluting carbon measures while doing so.
Spot on.
And sunak was meant to be the golden boy, the future of the Tory party
"We would abandon the same pledge but only extend by 4 years"
They are so desperate to appeal to the right wing mob which makes him a Cnut like the others.
Predictable. One state party now. What divides the two at this point? feck all imo.
Richie Rish has decided to scrap the energy efficiency taskforce...absolute cretin this man.
