“There is something wrong about a process that sees a sitting Prime Minister replaced while the people doing the replacing… pull the curtains and act like it’s nobody’s business but theirs. It’s everybody’s business.” --Rishi Sunak

According to Rishi Sunak (July 2022) www.ready4rishi.com/launch_speech

 

=======================================

 

I want to talk about Boris Johnson.

 

As candidates to replace him, we owe it to the British people who elected Boris as Prime Minister in 2019 to explain why he is leaving office.

 

There is something wrong about a process that sees a sitting Prime Minister replaced while the people doing the replacing… pull the curtains and act like it’s nobody’s business but theirs.

 

It’s everybody’s business.

 

So let me tell you how I see it.

 

Boris Johnson is one of the most remarkable people I’ve ever met.

 

And - whatever some commentators may say - he has a good heart.

 

Did I disagree with him? Frequently.

 

Is he flawed? Yes - and so are the rest of us.

 

Was it no longer working? Yes and that’s why I resigned…
