Name something that Sunak has done that's improved your life and what policy you will vote one? 

 

He started the 'eat out to help out' that brought about the 2nd wave of COVID.

Maybe you could tell us how the Conservatives have improved the fortunes of the country, and the people in it?

Completely agree with you; it looks like some social media person who seeks to be a legend in her own lunchtime, and gain more monetarised views on her channel.

If Dr. Russ Jackson is correct, and the person leading Farage away after the assault is George Cottrell, then this series of tweets should be given more publicity.
Yet another "man of the people", and not elite in the slightest.

Rumour has it, the character leading Nigel Farage away is George Cottrell, an interesting chap, who may give some insight into Farage's 'anti-elite' Reform UK team.

(Btw, I don't agree with chucking drinks over anyone).

So who is George Cottrell?

So you don't agree with the Milkshake throwing but still use the event to throw mud at Farage . 

Curious to know if you've read the link, and understood the point(s) raised in it.
Yes I condemn assaulting anyone, politicians included, but critiquing a company masquerading as a political party seems valid during an election campaign.

Your the hit and run merchant here Mr Hackey. My question is what has Sunak done for you and why do you believe they should have another five years in office?

The last part you should read on not one but could not edit it to correct it.

I have never trusted a government of any political party with my income in retirement. This is why I have made savings and investments and taken risks that fortunately have worked out. 
 

Whoever our political masters are they will never be my friend, this is why I don’t vote, I trust my own efforts rather than theirs.

The one TV debate if it happens I would like to see is between Nigel Farage and Sunak. Both are aiming for the same voter base I could easy see Farage bringing up Brexit and attacking Sunak for not taking up Brexit benefits. Another line of attack would be the so called ' Boat People ' Farage has said he wants zero immigration it would be interesting to see how Farage would do this against Sunak's Rwanda plan. Reform is polling on 15% at present a TV debate could increase that and spilt the right wing vote further.

With over 1,000,000 net immigration over the past 2 years, which has boosted to economy, we would have had a much worse recession with zero immigration.

Don't get me wrong, I would love zero immigration too, but in a free worse it's unrealistic.
