Rishi Sunak on Saturday took aim at the 바카라forces that be바카라 of the Conservative Party that favour his opponent Liz Truss in the race to replace Boris Johnson as the next British prime minister as he branded himself as the 바카라underdog바카라 in the Tory leadership race.
Delivering a campaign speech at Grantham, the eastern England hometown of former Tory Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the former Chancellor said there was a section of the governing party that would prefer the election be more of a 바카라coronation바카라 of the Foreign Secretary.
It was an indirect reference to pro-Johnson Cabinet ministers, such a Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries and Minister for Brexit Opportunities Jacob Rees-Mogg, who are leading a pro-Truss drive and have sought to undermine Sunak바카라s campaign.
바카라Have no doubt, I am the underdog,바카라 Sunak said, surrounded by supporters waving Ready4Rishi campaign banners.
바카라The forces that be want this to be a coronation for the other candidate. But I think members want a choice and they are prepared to listen,바카라 he said during the key speech.
The British Indian ex-minister did not elaborate on who these 바카라forces바카라 actually are, but reiterated that he was not the favourite.
바카라I was talking generically, but obviously I start this part of the contest in the underdog position,바카라 he told reporters afterwards.
Southampton-born Sunak, whose Indian grandmother migrated to the UK from east Africa in the 1960s, pegged himself as 바카라a product of immigration바카라 as he hit home the message about 바카라compassion바카라 but also 바카라tougher바카라 action on illegal immigration.
Amid applause, he also reiterated his central plank on the urgent need to 바카라grip inflation and bring it down바카라, describing rising inflation as 바카라the enemy that makes everyone poorer바카라.
바카라We have to tell the truth about the cost of living. Rising inflation is the enemy that makes everyone poorer and puts at risk your homes and your savings,바카라 he said.
바카라Real change is there, I swear it,바카라 he added.
Sunak was joined on his campaign visit to Thatcher바카라s hometown by wife Akshata Murty and daughters Krishna and Anoushka. He laughed off questions on whether the choice of Grantham in Lincolnshire was a coincidence, telling reporters he believes what he is proposing is 바카라common sense Thatcherism바카라.
