Rishi Sunak - and his miserly Government

The Government could make the argument that since Section 35 is completely legit its not an attack on democracy.

However as always in politics perception is reality, most people will have never of heard of Section 35 & known that it was a constitutionally legit route for the UK government to take all they will see is a block on the will of Scotland's parliament. Add this to the Supreme Court decision & it starts to put together a narrative about Scotland's role in the UK that is beneficial to the independemcd movement and may help to swing those on the fence.

It will be interesting to see what Labour do, Starmer scrapped Labour's self identification plans in his bid to pull the party out of getting bogged down in the culture wars, a move that regardless on how you may view it morally was politically prudent as the country is socially to the right of Labour.

Support Scotland over The GRB & he may put Labour back into the culture mess, refuse to back them & it would damage Labour's hopes of rehabilitation north of the border.

what is the general consenus on the law up there anyway ?

i can understand the reasoning for using section 35 in the case as it would effect stuff UK wide

i can see its a flawed law in some aspects mainly age wise and might do a lot of damage in the long run and certain safeguards not in place to protect

It's being investigated as to if he paid capital gains tax when the company was sold in 2018.

Nothing on the Media about it either the fucker has paid over 3 million of tax that he avoided paying and there was even a national crime agency investigation to it and the fucker was made Chancellor of the Exchequer

yet GMB more concerned about Clarkson saying sorry to Fucking Harry and Meghan

Mind you GMB have to be careful with one of the Biggest names and her tax affairs lol

So Sunak has been given another fixed penalty notice this time for not wearing a seatbelt in a moving car. A two time law breaker.

His errors of judgement just keep mounting.

bastard should get one for not being a booster seat !!!!

bloody criminals coming up from london

Zahawai situation was even worse

It was 3 million and then a 30% penalty and then interest came up to nearly 5 Million he had to pay

The Government's Brexit Freedoms Bill is back in the news, here is a TLDR explainer from November last year

So much for honesty, integrity and transparency

The statement from Sunak says he " agrees" to pay the fine for not wearing a seat belt.
How jolly nice of him.
