They are only 'furious' he said the quiet part out loud.

How the Daily Mail have positioned the New Stateman expose of Sunak (for our American friends - ex Chancellor and currently running to replace BoJo - and positioned a far second in the polls in that race) being exactly who we knew him to be is something else - so as Sunak says this...

Rishi Sunak boasted of taking money from “deprived urban areas” to help wealthy towns
A leaked video shows the former chancellor saying that Labour “shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas” and that “needed to be undone”.
Emphasis mine

OF COURSE The Daily Mail frames it as this:



Tory fury my lily white irish arse. They have been at this for years. It is not only Sunak, it is all of them, every rotten one of them - and it is a fixture not a bug, but sure there is fury amongst the Tories 👀 Fury that he got caught saying the quiet part out loud. I am sure there was applause on the night about how people have been driven into poverty to fund fixing potholes in the Shires. As Maya Angelou said - paraphrasing - when people show you who they are believe them

As an aside one does wonder who in the Truss campaign leaked it? 🧐 I am going for Kwami - he wants Chancellor very very badly!

1. Gawd, Tories are pure evil.

I can't comprehend the mindset of people who think poor urban areas need to be stripped of any meager funding they might have to prop up the richer areas. ... It's just so warped and malevolent and putrid.

2. Whilst the Truss camp is trying to use this to their advantage...

... it's worth remembering Truss's massive cock up over regional pay boards that was specifically designed to make the North poorer.

All very dispiriting.
