He's actually standing in the rain with NO cover over him!

He's only had a year to plan this - what is going on?

He is the commander in chief and as such stands in the weather same as rest of the troops.

Perhaps he is standing in the rain in order to "normalise" standing in the rain. It might be the emergence of a trend. And then more people will stand in the rain. Until everyone is standing in the rain.

If I was an umbrella manufacturer, this trend might be of concern.

An elected President would be an obvious alternative.

Or, as we like referendums so much, we could have a plebiscite like the Germans had in 1934. 89.93% majority for Nigel Farage?

Oh I see, so we exchange a benign, hard working, loyal and transparent monarchy for a president. You mean like Putin, Xi or Kim Jong Un (elected themselves for life) or Berlusconi (corrupt) or Trump (mad and corrupt) or Biden (advanced dementia). No thanks, I'll stay with KCIII.

I doubt you've got a clue what the Constitutional Head does. You should enlighten yourself. But it's fair to say he and the broader RF put in a shift that would shame most. And you doubt the monarch is loyal? FFS don't you realise the Police, Military, Judges, Politicians swear allegiance to the Crown?

Like them or loath them, they are not going any place soon.

ipsos: Hereditary Monarchy.

Should we keep the monarchy, 60%

Should become a republic, 28%

So. The lesson is, order more King Charles Bobble-heads and profit by increased sales.

If you can't have the thing you want, learn to love the thing you have.

Bobble-heads are quite de-stressing too.

What nobody is saying is that 3 mins before he came out it actually wasn't raining. (Remember the blonde guy wiring up mics?)

I’m not sure it’s really a big deal Sunak getting caught in the rain. Aside from for people making petty political points.

The weather looks fine so you go outside and you get caught in the rain. It’s Britain. It’s happened to all of us hundreds of times.

It’s really odd the hill some people want to die on. Intelligent people who don’t seem to understand that while something in isolation may really be rather inconsequential, when viewed within a wider context and in a world where, rightly or wrongly, optics matter, that it creates a wider collective impression that may be detrimental. To then try and draw equivalence with something quite different is just plain odd?

'Optics' is a MEDIA INVENTION and way of diverting honest discourse to create the very 'NEWS' that you think that you are reading. It's also an excuse for the piss-poor news-gathering that they call journalism these days. And people like you fall for. It's a way to make you go Oo! and Ah! And giggle like demented, ill-educated school children. They gave you the word 'optics' to make all those items like 'Oh My God Kate has adjusted her photograph, she's so dishonest' sound like it actually really mattered!

But that's okay, there has to be reader-fodder after all - who would buy the crap end of news if there wasn't?

Oh wow you do have a high opinion of yourself and your superior intellect don’t you! Is it because you did a degree? I reckon there’s a few on here who did degrees

As for “people like you fall for it” ha ha ha ha ha you know nothing about me or what education I have or what I do for a living. You also seem to think if someone makes a commentary on an issue that they believe or subscribe to the thing they are saying! I would hope a graduate would have far more adept critical thinking!

I personally don’t give a damn if Sunak stood in the rain. But in the current world “optics matter” as any PR consultant, media expert or Communications professional will tell you. It doesn’t matter if you or I think that is silly, it is the current reality. Didn’t your degree include a media module? If so then you know this regardless of how much you rail against it!

Sunak’s campaign has been stumbling from one silly decision to another. It makes him and his team look disorganised, uncoordinated, and poor at planning. Not good traits for the PM.

Oh and BTW “it wasn’t raining a few minutes before” LMAO looking out the window is so 20th century. We have weather apps that can give you all the info you need (or look out the window on the other side of No.10 to see if there are clouds incoming!)

"See. You can learn things.

(sic) See you wrote it perfectly. Took you ages to look it up, though.

BTW, did you think I used it because I just thought is looked good at the end of your error in spelling, or perhaps because you had an error in your spelling?

Omnium minutias nihil significat. "

Actually I wasn’t looking it up. I do have a life away from Fab lol!

The point still stands that using [xxx] is better than (xxx) because it cannot be mistaken as being a continuation of your sentence (as you should know).

No you used it because you thought I made a spelling mistake or a typo and wanted to indicate as such (and yes because you thought it made you look clever). However, calling him Sunk was a deliberate choice (albeit childish) as indicated by also calling him Drippy Rishi.

Off shopping then lunch now so unlikely to quickly reply

""What would be your suggestion for an alternative Constitutional Head?"

An elected President would be an obvious alternative.

Or, as we like referendums so much, we could have a plebiscite like the Germans had in 1934. 89.93% majority for Nigel Farage?

Oh I see, so we exchange a benign, hard working, loyal and transparent monarchy for a president. You mean like Putin, Xi or Kim Jong Un (elected themselves for life) or Berlusconi (corrupt) or Trump (mad and corrupt) or Biden (advanced dementia). No thanks, I'll stay with KCIII.you lost the argument when you said hardworking and loyal ffs

I doubt you've got a clue what the Constitutional Head does. You should enlighten yourself. But it's fair to say he and the broader RF put in a shift that would shame most. And you doubt the monarch is loyal? FFS don't you realise the Police, Military, Judges, Politicians swear allegiance to the Crown?"

a shift pmsl driven by limo doors open for him pulls a cord makes a ten min spearhead eats dinner of the finest chef in the area sips finest wine the whisked away in limo back to his palace and you call that a shift it’s a day out for anyone else for ppl to say they put in a shift is embarrassing to the ppl that actually do

I'm sure King Charles wouldn't be 'stood' anywhere. He went to a better school than most.

He would have been standing, like Sunak will be in the forthcoming election.

Unless, of course, Sunak is being 'stood' by puppeters who control him!

I'm not sure I under'stood' your point?

Oh yes you did, I sincerely hope. Millions wouldn't, though. I don't think the King would ever be 'sat' either, even on his throne!"

I think that depends if I sat him on the throne

Maybe Rishi and Charlie are both Neil Sedaka fans.
