The Rishi Sunak Comedy Show

If i submitted a script of the going's on with the current Boris Johnson Government it would be returned as too unbelievable but over the last couple of years unbelievable is exactly what it has been.
We are still in the throes of Boris and his cohorts not following the Covid rules they imposed upon the rest of us and now we have a Chancellor and his family, the guy responsible for imposing tax laws upon us remember, not following them themselves.
With Boris hanging on by his fingertips as we wait for the MET to do their thing and issue him his fine for breaking lock-down rules, the Chancellor was seen as the natural successor but this week has blown any idea of him swapping number 11 for number 10 clean out of the water.
In what is beyond farce, the hapless chancellor just couldn’t get anything right this week with regards to his wife's legal, but highly unjustifiable, tax arrangements when it was revealed that she does not pay taxes in the UK on her annual millions due to her holding non-dom status.
That is to gloss over that some of her millions coming from Russia which the UK Government is sanctioning but the meat of the scandal is that she pays £30,000 per year to retain her non-dom status which means she doesn't have to pay tax to her husband in the UK.
Last week the gloves came off when he gave a mini-budget which he insisted alleviated the worst of the cost of living crisis but was immediately trashed by experts as not doing anything like it and then going to a petrol station and filling up someone else’s car, then tries to scan his card on the barcode reader.
Laughably bad for someone trying to appear in touch with the common man but worst was to come when it was revealed that the mega-rich chancellor persuading ordinary British people to do difficult things but couldn't even persuade his own wife, who is richer than the Queen, to pay her fair share tax.
To start with Rishi defended his wife saying that it is: 'how the system works for people like her who are international who have moved here' and then stated that it was unfair for the media to target his wife and compared himself to a certain Hollywood star, saying 'Both Will Smith and me, having our wives attacked'.
Then it revealed that both him and his wife held US Green Cards meaning they must pay US tax on their worldwide income and pledge that the US is their forever home, Rishi holding his for a year while he was employed as the Chancellor meaning he wasn't even paying UK Taxes while making the rules up for those of us who were.
Mrs Sunak has now said she will pay her fair share of taxes here going forward but too little too late because the Sunak family has united both the left and right against them, the left who object to her obscene personal wealth and using tax laws to avoid paying tax and the right who are frothing at the mouth racists at the best of times but even more now that they found out that she is not a British citizen but is Indian and paying her taxes either there or in the US (that's still not clear) and not patriotic enough.
At least with everyone getting so hot under the collar, it means people will use less heating so maybe we wont need that £200 loan the Chancellor is thankfully foisting upon us to pay our increasing heating bills.
