Rishi Sunak's image - £500,000 of taxpayers money well spent

[Ollygon]

Not long after making the Sunday Times Rich List, it’s now been revealed Chancellor Rishi Sunak has splashed £0.5 million on focus groups to “repair his image”.

Treasury contracts show researchers have been hired to conduct two focus groups and a national online poll every week until February next year, with Labour claiming the total cost will hit more than £1.35 million.

And it comes just days after Mr Sunak told MPs that “trying to borrow and spend our way” out of the cost of living crisis is “the wrong approach”, with the government taking a “careful, deliberate approach” instead.

Now that's what I call money well spent.

Understand this and understand it well. The govt have just spent a king's ransom doing a king Canute trying to stop a virus to appease wallopers like you. So maybe pipe down or sit a few plays out? Even Wiz has stopped commenting on the rate of inflation now.

You honestly think the money was spent to appease people?

** hell, that's some mental gymnastics.

Aye, we've spunked away billions what's another 500,000 of tax payers money to improve the image of a mega rich, scrawny slimeball.

The Tory party are remarkably thin skinned, like a lot of their supporters, for example they're selling of Channel 4 because they were a bit critical.

Bunch of ** snowflakes.

Money printing has been non-stop since 2009. Covid was just an acceleration of a process that was already leading to the same inevitable end result.

Now be fair. Those riding the night buses in order to keep warm aren't likely to meet up with Rishi. So, obviously he needs even those people to understand that we're all in it together.
