LONDON — Rishi Sunak, the former chancellor of the Exchequer, was poised to become Britain’s next prime minister as soon as Monday, after Boris Johnson pulled out of the race to succeed Liz Truss on Sunday evening. If Mr. Sunak wins, he will become the first person of color, the first person of Indian heritage and the first person of Hindu faith to lead Britain.
Mr. Sunak, who lost a leadership contest to Ms. Truss this summer, is the clear front-runner, with the public backing of 192 Conservative lawmakers as of Monday afternoon, according to the BBC. That number represents more than half of Conservative members of parliament. Mr. Sunak’s only remaining rival, Penny Mordaunt, had the public backing of 27 lawmakers.

That was more or less my guess.

The moves are so predictable… {See Here}… well, it would be funny if the consequences were not so severe.
With Prime Minister Liz Truss announcing her resignation there was considerable discussion of former PM Boris Johnson returning to run for the job. However, as an outcome of his conversations with other “conservatives” in British politics, Johnson has withdrawn his name. This sets up… wait for it…. the World Economic Forum’s groomed U.K. climate change “conservative” to take the job. This stuff is so predictable, it’s beyond funny.

(Via CBS) – Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a statement Sunday that he would not seek the leadership of the Conservative Party, leaving former Treasury chief Rishi Sunak as the frontrunner to take over after Liz Truss hastily announced her exit last week, after just 45 days at the helm.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak together with King Charles III…. What could possibly go wrong? LOL
Sometimes people make fun of me for cementing my views in the reality of a big picture perspective. I don’t care. It’s not a conspiracy theory to see how the alignment of western leadership interests are shaped by the control of the people and institutions who manipulate the illusion of choice.
Liz Truss was dispatched because she dared, in the smallest way, to accept the reality of what created the ‘Build Back Better‘ U.K. economic crisis. She was always going to be replaced by someone who was willing and able to retain their fullest devotion to the grand pretense. That’s where Rishi Sunak steps in. Please watch the video below, you’ll see:

Evidently another one of Schwab's WEF acolytes.

It’s all Kabuki theater as the Tories swap out one puppet politician for another. Boris is the same as Truss is the same as this new guy. Just different branding. Boris was never a reformer. That was just the role he staked out for himself. He didn’t bring about BREXIT. He merely stepped in to implement it once it had become inevitable.
