Well if he does the Tories have lost the next general election, it's not the wealthy who determine who runs the country it's the average working class person, keep these set of people happy and it's the key to No.10

Well if he does the Tories have lost the next general election, it's not the wealthy who determine who runs the country it's the average working class person, keep these set of people happy and it's the key to No.10 Actually it’s the residents of about forty square miles of fairly affluent Britain just south east of Birmingham. Years ago Keele University who used to maintain the database of political party performance at elections etc ran a finger over the uk constituencies and their returns Except for a few years where some singular clusterf@@k by the sitting government handed the keys to number ten to the opposition, about eighty per cent of the 650 soon to be 600 seats in Britain are so solidly in the hands of the sitting MP, if you are not of that MPs political view you are disenfranchised as if you lived in the early 1800’s Stunning examples of this are Islington and Islwyn for Labour, Huntingdon for the Tories. Barely twenty constituencies in the golden triangle south east of Birmingham stretching to Warwickshire were sufficiently marginal for floating voters to make a difference which is why election after election the same coach and helicopter charter companies ferry the same faces between the same locations. And few are actually “working class” I admit the so called red wall seats made a difference in 2019 but as I said, occasionally some major clusterf@@k annoys enough people to make that difference. Creating a zombie parliament in which nothing could be done because the speaker conspired with wreckers and the prime minister was deprived of the nuclear option by muck clegg’s legacy was that clusterf@&k

Perhaps the got the idea from labour......As they turned it into an art-form.
Brown accused of diverting rural money to 'bribe urban voters in Labour heartlands'
Billions of pounds have been diverted from rural areas to invest in traditional Labour heartlands over the last decade, official figures suggest.
Statistics show that vast sums have been diverted from Tory-leaning country shires to towns and cities since Labour came to power in 1997.

Glasgow , my home city.
Labour in charge of it for 8 decades. Turned the second city of the old empire into a third world cesspit , with council tax receipts unable to cover debt interest , equal pay court cases , corruption of the highest order , i could write a book on it.
Kicked them out in 2017 and its like a heroin addict recovering from years of ( labour ) abuse.
It is an art form that new labour have. We see the same in liverpool croydon and many other places , incompetence corruption and the poor getting poorer . I always say its like the chicken and egg scenario.
What came first? Labour or poverty?
I cant speak for liverpool and other areas , but in glasgow , it certainly looks like labour came first and poverty was the result.

Why was the Video published by the Guardian a well know beacon of truth and light if only so short is that all they had or edited for effect? Sunak was addressing Party Members in Tunbridge Wells Kent a very affluent part of Kent, what Sunak as Jonsky has pointed out went on the say was to state he was clawing back some of the money due to the fact that Labours formulas were only pumping money into deprived Urban areas, not Rural areas that also need funding. However, Kent according to local media has 21 areas of poverty and inequality that need funding, not all of Kent is as affluent as Tonbridge Wells not all is well in the garden of England
