Rishi Sunak’s claim to be defending his wife is false; it’s HE who’s under attack
Rishi Sunak: he wants you to think people have been attacking his wife for her connections with Russia. But he’s the member of the government that sanctions such connections; why is he indirectly continuing to benefit from them?
Who does Rishi Sunak think he is, comparing himself to Will Smith, talking about defending his wife?
In case you missed it, Sunak was interviewed by the BBC’s Newscast and tried to equate himself with the Hollywood actor:
“Someone said, ‘Joe Root, Will Smith, and me – not the best of weekends for any of us’. But I feel, on reflection, both Will Smith and me having our wives attacked – at least I didn’t get up and slap anybody, which is good.”
But he’s wrong; nobody was attacking his wife. Akshata Murthy can do whatever she wants.
But as a member of a government that has sanctioned firms that operate in, and profit from, connections with Russia, Sunak shouldn’t have anything to do with such firms.
His wife has shares in one such firm.
Therefore – indirectly – Sunak is profiting from a connection that he should not have.
That is the reason for the criticism.
It is hypocritical of him to say that other people’s connections to Russia should be cut while maintaining such a connection himself, even if it is only through his wife.
And it is disgraceful for him to hide behind her in the way he has.
