Beyond his fabulous wealth and professional competence, not much is known about Britain's chancellor of the exchequer

is one of the most familiar figures in British politics. An assiduous public-relations campaign has ensured that the newspapers bulge with profiles of him and his photogenic family. Pundits speculate about how long it will be before he moves into Number 10. Economic policy is now associated with his skinny suits and easy smile in much the same way that it was once associated with Gordon Brown’s crumpled clothes and grumpy scowl.

The Conservative Party’s various factions project what they want onto the young chancellor: social liberals see him as one of their own because he is from an ethnic minority, while right-wingers welcome him as a fellow-Brexiteer. Mr Sunak’steam keeps the screen as blank as possible. Revelations that he likes “Star Wars” and Christmas songs have not been followed by disclosures about his philosophy of life or what makes him tick as a politician.

The spending review which he delivered with his usual aplomb on November 25th was designed by Rishi-the-pragmatist, whose Keynesian mantra is “we’re prioritising jobs” and who reeled off a mind-boggling list of spending commitments. It was also a very political budget.

Hated by the do nothing get up at noon and sign on let the state feed and house our offsprings while we drink the off licences dry and plead poverty

Try to stop salivating. It ill becomes your calm omniscient stance.

Which means he is too dumb to understand MMT and only appears here as a pre-abolition-of-the-gold-standard ideological whore for rich people. That's why this clown gets a headline here, and 'anyone who wants to help the poors' is problematic. Economist propaganda out in the open

Shall the working class prepare for tax hikes

Like many Tories, this man has no idea of life on the other side of the street. He's never wanted for a meal.

He is a Briton of Colour and has been more human than the Briton of White failure Thatcher having devastated unknown countless peasant Britons!

Comparing anyone to margaret thatcher is going too far

He serves the same .01% who Thatcher served too.

Makes no difference now who or what ...just the why and when

Thatcher wouldn't have locked down the people or economy

Who really knows what will crop up politically in January 2021? The Chancellor has stated ‘privately’ he doesn’t want to be PM but he may have to be, if nothing else than to prevent Gove from entering No 10! Could you imagine Gove as PM? Nor me 😉

Finnally, an Indian would rule the UK in yhe future!

just another one of your Rothschild errand boys , no more & no less

He will never be Prime Minister...tainted by the Covid lock down and the resulting economist shit storm.
