When Sunak said 'low taxes, lower welfare', he was telling us that he intends to cut the welfare state, wasn't he? That's how poor people survive, get education, health care and care of the aged. And Sunak was boasting about this? Where's the outrage?

I have immense sympathy with Rishi Sunak & his anger at being called a “f’ing Paki” by Reform Party supporters I hope he has similar sympathy with 100,000s like me who experience it all the time & who objected to his party taking £15m from a racist
