The only thing a politician isn't prepared to do, is be honest with the people they serve.

All as bad as each other. Get rid of all of them. That swamp needs draining, they are all in it for themselves 🙄

He was asked to let Dominic Cummings pick his staff and report to DC in parallel when he became Chancellor. He jumped at the chance. He broke the law alongside him during covid. He claimed permanent tax status in the US while in charge of the Treasury. What is it that was he is now not prepared to do and why does it matter?

I don’t believe a word that comes out of Sunak’s mouth. Not one.

[paranoidtie]

They’re all a bunch of snakes. 🐍 Truly sickening

I was there in the audience at london tech week 2023 when this happened, when the BBC Journalist asked Sunak that question (he was expecting an AI question), I've never seen anyone squirm like that. On the second floor, delegates who were watching via livestream at the founders stage laughed and cheered when the question was asked!

He gave away £21 billion to their mates but suddenly he’s got morals 🤷‍♂️
Why isn’t he done for like bojo after all he’s lied cheated and manipulated all the way through covid and yet it’s only Boris that got pulled up for it !? And now the rest of them are acting like they got morals…

[TheTrickshot]

Was he ask to take care of the British people and promise they'd be safe?

It took a while for me to find it out, but UK Prime Minister's real job is to demonstrate that it's possible to be less smart than the previous PM. If you see it that way, you'll have to agree that they all make an excellent job.

[brownboyben]

The electorate asked me to do something, and as their unelected leader, i said, tough.

This dude's a gremlin.

[jaybee]

I’m glad Boris is gone. It’s time for Rishi and his groupies to go too.

[jasonjames]

He's still unaware that there is a northern part of England or what a food bank is.

[TCHNOMNCER]

But you did it anyway. Don't throw him under the bus just because he resigned lmao

[CheesecakeYearsAgo]

Congratulations UK

You are going up with the US in inflation 😂

''Boris Johnson 'asked me to do something I wasn't prepared to do'' ? Answers on a postcard for that one, plenty to choose from.

[thedandyhighwayman]

Was that a speed bump the bus just went over or was it Boris being thrown under the bus? More knives out in the Tory party than Gordon Ramsey's kitchen.

They're about to see tough unless they get their act together, I don't think they realise how sick people are of all this bs but it's getting to an intense tipping point

Sunakers: "Boris Johnson asked me to pretend I give a 💩 but I wasn't prepared to do that" 🤡😔
