More on dishy Rishi:

His wife is a non-dom who owns almost £700 million in shares in her dad's company, and other holdings (shadily?) not disclosed. As a non-dom she gets massive potential relief from paying inheritance tax. In fact, they are secretive about most of her holdings, controversially not declared on registers of interests. She has declined to pay UK tax on her overseas earnings until recently and hasn't paid back-tax. Sunak founded a hedge fund company in the Cayman Islands (we know why there, don't we?). Sunak held a Green Card, entitling him to permanent residence in the US, for six years whilst an MP, nearly two years whilst Chancellor. They have an apartment in Santa Monica. Seems he was hedging his bets, keeping his options open to move back to the US in case his political career didn't work out well. In April he brought in tax breaks for non-dom hedge fund managers.

Of course, I'm expecting someone to tell me that his wife's affairs are nothing to do with him. My arse, would be my answer to that. Many of his actions as Chancellor have been to help people like her (and her) to avoid giving any of their vast wealth away. In his video he claimed to be a patriot. Well if he's a patriot he's a patriot who works his socks off to make sure that incredibly wealthy people don't pay their fair share to the country he purports to love.

He's no patriot. He's a nest-featherer, a hypocrite, a convict and, just like his erstwhile boss (who, don't forget, he backed to the hilt, in spite of everything, until opportunistically stabbing him in the back at the very last minute), a bloody liar.
