Did I miss something? Sunak and Truss were asked what average families can do to tackle climate crises … but nothing on what they as the actual *Prime Minister* would do? #BBCOurNextPM

Do wish Sunak would stop referring to being taught about climate change by his kids. You're the chancellor of the exchequer. I don't want you learning about the greatest existential threat to the planet from your fucking children.

Sunak is bossing this. Quite surprised by his confidence tbh. Because he's awful, compromised & complicit in every single thing Johnson did.

To be clear, neither of those people is fit to be prime minister and both will say literally anything to get what they want

This is increasingly becoming the only reasonable option

#BBCOurNextPM Who should be the next Prime Minister?
