Plus, I don’t think a man like Mr NR Narayana Murthy would allow his daughter near Mr Sunak unless he felt there was something special about him.
If you look at the background of Ms Truss and Mr Sunak, you will find that their gender and race are pretty much irrelevant, in as much as both have very standard backgrounds for Conservative politicians. Both went to Oxford, and both worked in huge companies before joining politics. The only thing that really distinguishes Ms Truss from the standard Conservative party politician lies between her legs.
