He's speaking in Tunbridge Wells apparently - I'm actually surprised for once, how can they be so brazen about it?
What an utter chunt. Rishi and truss are despicable individuals who will watch people and towns go under financially with no intervention people affected by the upcoming recession will be just cast aside. I am fairly confident labour will win the next election but I would love labour to replace starmer with someone less centrist to reverse the Tory damage

Houchen saying he didn't mean how it's come across.
I fcuking shudder at the fact I'm thankfully only distantly related to him
BBC News - Tory leadership: I took money out of deprived urban areas says Sunak
Tory leadership: I took money out of deprived urban areas, says Sunak
Allies of the former chancellor say he changed outdated rules to reflect need in rural areas.www.bbc.co.uk
Sunak: "Black is black"I'm not quite sure what else:
"We inherited a bunch of formulas from Labour that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone.
"I started the work of undoing that."
Could possibly mean. Or how it could be taken out of context, but defending the indefensible is kind of what they do these days.
They do think we're all idiots clearly. If I was them I'd probably have just gone for the tried and tested "he misspoke" line. But they're the experts, in my job I don't have to lie on behalf of people.
I've said this before but I'll say it again. Anyone from Teesside and specifically from less well off areas, voting Tory in the last election is an utter disgrace.
Exactly what I was thinking.So he started undoing formulas inherited from Labour... that would be the last Labour govt in 2010. So didn't he inherit the formulas from his Tory predecessors as Chancellor - Javid (2019-20), Hammond (2016-2019)and Osborne(2010-2016)
What about 2010 and 2015?Anyone from anywhere! What a missed opportunity 2017 and 2019 were.
Tory members will be thinking Truss is white....and vote her inSunak: "Black is black"
Houtchen: No, he said black is white"
