Sunak looking to his own future makes him unsuitable to be our PM, blasts Kelvin MacKenzie

They are;

1) How will that policy be viewed by the party and the voter. That’s normal.

2) How will this affect my chances when I am no longer Prime Minister (and that may be only eight months away) of being invited to sit at the global round table by the likes of US banking giants like JP Morgan and Blackstone. That’s not normal.

After all Sunak kept on his green card ( ability to come and go in the US and much prized) while Chancellor. Normally that card would have been torn up at US immigration. How and why as a leading British politician did he keep that card.

3) Most importantly, often in connection with immigration, how will my billionaire Indian father-in- law and my very political mother-in-law (she just been invited by Premier Modi to join the Indian Upper House) view my decisions. That’s not normal.

As all of us know family matters. Even more so to Sunak. He was never going to be poor as he has a clever financial brain, but his money soared into outer space when he married Akshata Murthy, the daughter of Indian Infosys tech billionaire NR Narayana Murthy.

Depending on who you believe her shares in father’s business are worth anywhere between £500-£750million.

Sunak already knows how painful it is when family issues collide with local politics.

Take the non dom policy. I do so wish the Tories hadn’t caved in as I like the rich being here, all we seem to welcome is the skint. Mrs Sunak continued to claim her tax -free status on overseas earnings (virtually all her money came through overseas dividends) even though she was the PM’s missus.

That took a fierce determination to hold on to her money. Then the political heat got too hot and she decided to give up the tax break.

So you can see the size of the problem when Sunak wants to get tough with the Channel illegals, a number of whom will come from India. It’s not the number that’s the problem it’s the fact that it can become a colour issue and back in India you can that does not play well. Hence the fact that we can’t seem to do a trade deal.

So, not unreasonably, Sunak talks a good game but doesn’t do too much just in case comms causes a problem elsewhere.

Equally importantly, our education system is propped up Indian students, so each time we make it more difficult for them to come here I’m sure the Murthy family would ask for a word in Sunak’s ear.

The majority of our nation wants immigration reduced and yet under Sunak it has continued to grow. He knows what he should do but often I say due to Indian family politics he finds himself paralysed.

And that paralysis make him unsuitable to be our Prime Minister.

EV con exposed

Congrats to What Car? for finally exposing the complete con of how many miles the makers claim a new (and expensive) electric car does compared to range they really achieve.

There are some complete shockers out there. For instance the Lexus UX 300e Takumi, which costs £57,095, is advertised as doing 273 miles and in tests does 170 miles. Down 37.9%.

The Volkswagen ID 7 Pro Match (no heat pump) costs £51,550 and is said to do 251miles but actually does 159 miles, down 36.7%.

The reason for these dramatic changes are simple. Car makers are legally required to check the electric cars under worldwide harmonised tests. It measures battery life travelling at 28.8mph in 23C summer temperature from 100% charge to zero.

When they test cars it’s quite warm which is good for the battery (18% difference in winter) they don’t drive at a high speed and accelerate very slowly. The What Car? Editor says it’s the kind of acceleration that would get you in trouble if you dove that way on the road.

The best performing car was the £68,810 Mercedez-Benz EQE Sport edition which ran flat after 300 miles but still a 21% shortfall.

This kind of evidence shows with the fact EVs are a darn more expensive, is why motorists are sticking to petrol cars longer than the ‘’experts’’ thought. Keeping shoving the green agenda at hard-up motorists will bring nothing but resentment which will be played out in the ballot box.
