🔵 Conservative leadership contender Rishi Sunak has insisted that he “welcomes” the criticism about his wealth, insisting that Tories should be proud of people who are successful
there's a particular type of Sensible Tory who is loudly complaining about every policy suggestion from Sunak and Truss, and pals: you don't actually have to be a Tory
Great to see @RishiSunak tackling the issues that matter to our constituents #ReadyForRishi
This is interesting by Paul Seddon for the BBC ... Tory leadership: How accurate are Truss v Sunak polls?

Just wait until Rishi Sunak finds out which party has been in power for 12 years - and who served as Chancellor.
EXCLUSIVE: In a leaked video, Rishi Sunak boasted to Conservative Party members that he was prepared to take public money out of “deprived urban areas” to help wealthy towns. @REWearmouth reports:

There is a story doing the news rounds this morning that Sunak has cost the government £11 billion by failing to manage government interest rates properly. But the real story is much worse than that. This is about banks winning at cost to us all, yet again...a thread to explain.
I spent yesterday writing about the technicalities of domicile as they might impact Rishi Sunak’s wife. But that’s because her tax decisions cast doubt on his suitability for office. Another thread, this time in the man himself ….
Just so we're clear: Sunak, Javid and all the other Tory MPs abandoning Boris Johnson aren't acting from "principle" or "honour". They've known what he's like from the beginning. They're abandoning him because they now think his leadership threatens their interests. That's it.
This week we found out that Rishi Sunak: 🛑 Blocked an increase of the energy bill rebate from £200 to £500. 💵 Donated £100,000 to top boarding school Winchester College. ✈️And his ultra-rich wife claims non-Dom tax status. He's not on your side.
Rishi Sunak found £4,000,000,000 in tax cuts for wealthy bankers, but refused the £20-a-week Universal Credit uplift to struggling working class families. That tells you about the priorities of this super-rich Tory Chancellor.
