PM Sunak gets down to the nitty ‘integrity’
At last, someone sensible is running the country. To be fair, the bar wasn’t set all that high by the last two. It’s like leaving a five-star review online for a plumber, saying: “He was amazing! Unlike the first one that came round he didn’t shout, ‘I have GOT THE RADIATORS DONE’, and then flood the house and filled it with dolphins. Nor did he ask to have an affair with my wife, promising he could send her lots of free taps from public money if she agreed.
“Then the next one said, ‘I’ve got a new way to grow the boiler’, and smashed all the windows in the house with a mallet.
“So the third plumber hasn’t fixed anything, and hasn’t even turned up, but by comparison, he’s wonderful. We were delighted!”
Already Rishi Sunak has proved he’s a new broom, full of integrity.
He’s made big changes already. Instead of shady characters in the Cabinet, such as Suella Braverman, James Cleverly and Grant Shapps, he’s replaced them with a more sensible bunch, such as Grant Shapps, Suella Braverman and James Cleverly.
This should make all the difference as the problem all along was they were in the wrong order.
Braverman was forced to resign for breaking the Government’s own rules, so it’s a sign of this new integrity that she had to wait six days before getting her job back.
It’s like a football referee telling a player: “I have to give you a red card as you smacked the goalkeeper in the face with a spanner. So you’re sent off for four minutes, during half-time.”
Braverman also has the integrity of boasting her dream is to see a plane full of refugees deported to Rwanda.
It’s so refreshing to hear a politician who’s not just out for themselves, but is still committed to making the world a better place by making people miserable.
Sunak hinted he accepts that the Government under Boris Johnson didn’t have “integrity”. So he’s the ideal man to put that right as he was nothing to do with that government.
He just pottered about in the background in charge of minor issues such as all the money.
And he can’t have known anything about the illegal parties during lockdown, although he was fined for being at one. In any case that fine will have taught him a lesson as his family is only twice as rich as the King. So he won’t be doing anything like that again.
Lots of people have welcomed the fact that we have our first British Asian Prime Minister. And that definitely counts for something.
Because, like Braverman, Martin Luther King once had a dream. It was that one day people would be judged not by the colour of their skin but by the “content of their character”. So congratulations to Sunak, who’s worth £730million and boasted that he’d taken public money from deprived urban areas and given it to wealthy places instead.
Now we can judge his character on that.
