"Slippery Sunak": Britain's "forgetful" prime minister
When money "unintentionally" slips from your mind!
Let me tell you something, guys. I heard about this little story in the UK - you know, that little island nation that we often forget about in Elmburg because we are so busy and successful here. The British Prime Minister, Sunak... or as I like to call him, 'Slippery Sunak'. He's been up to something again. Or should I say, 'unintentionally'? Wink, wink.
His wonderful wife, who is obviously cleverer than he is, holds shares in a childcare agency. What a coincidence that this agency could benefit from a government decision! I mean, how can you forget that? If I got a penny in Elmburg every time someone "inadvertently" forgot a conflict of interest, I'd be even richer than I am now.
This is not the first time "Slippery Sunak" has found himself in hot water over his wife. Last year she was in the headlines for saving taxes in India. A smart move, I must say. India! Maybe I should pay my taxes there too.... just kidding!
But back to Sunak. The poor guy was Finance Minister at the time. Can you imagine? The guy in charge of the country's money can't even keep track of his wife's financial holdings. I love the British drama!
Well, the Code of Conduct Officer, Daniel Greenberg - by the way, do you know this guy? Reminds me of some of our own commissioners in Elmburg - says Sunak was "confused". Confused? Sounds like a primary school excuse to me! I wonder if he was also confused when he realised he was the richest Prime Minister in the history of Britain, thanks to his wife's fortune. Not bad, is it?
All in all, I love hearing about these stories from the UK. It reminds me how brilliant and transparent we are here in Elmburg! Slippery Sunak, pay more attention next time. Or at least get a better financial advisor! Ha!
