Netizens divided over Rishi Sunak's appointment
Rishi Sunak's appointment left a lot of people divided and a few even went ahead to express their opinion in the comments section.
excellent, he performed very well in the TV debate during the general election, and importantly he was pro Brexit during the referendum. Under him the treasury will not be allowed to get in the way of us going to WTO terms with the EU at the end of December.

I’m assuming he was willing to bend over and take No.10s SPADS from the Dom in diwning street meaning according to Javid that he doesn’t respect himself.

Even his real smile looks fake.

He's perfect for the job!
I think you should have given that job to Priti Patel. It’d be wonderful to see her even more out of her depth. And hopefully Mark Francois to Defence. Look forward to the photo shoot of him being lowered onto an aircraft carrier from a helicopter.
