THE prime minister has rubbished claims he is gambling with his party’s future, explaining that it is not a gamble when losing is assured.
Sunak has told his party there is no doubt in his mind as to the outcome of the surprise July general election, therefore the element of risk had been entirely eliminated.
He said: “Gamble? This is a sure thing. We’re the Manchester City of electoral defeat.
“To those MPs concerned you will lose your seats, you absolutely will. Bank on that. Some of you to the f**king Lib Dems. Start coming up with excuses to fill that awkward 14-year gap in your CV now. I wouldn’t list me as a reference, not if you want the job.
“People ask why I’ve called an election now. Was it inflation? Was it Rwanda? Does it matter? It could have been the pollen count for all the difference it would make.
“There comes a time when putting six bullets in the chamber, giving it a good old spin, putting it to your temple and pulling the trigger is a bloody relief. Six weeks and we’re done. Don’t worry, I haven’t got any knockout policies up my sleeve. Quite the reverse.”
Daily Express reader Norman Steele said: “He’s bluffing. We’ll win by a landslide.”
