In the past I have drawn Johnson, May and Truss - posting their pictures on this very blog. Now it's Richie Sumac's turn:-

I changed his first name from Rishi to Richie simply because he is very rich. He doesn't need to think about rising energy costs, his supermarket bills or the cost of a family holiday. But how did Richie become so rich? Certainly not through physical labour or a 9 to 5 job. This is what "The Week" had to say in January of this year:-

Sunak became a “multimillionaire in his mid-twenties”, according to The Sunday Times. He was a partner at the hedge fund TCI, where bosses “shared nearly £100m after an audacious stock market bet that lit the touchpaper on the 2008 financial crisis”.

As a young man he operated in the financial world like a successful gambler in a casino, placing his bets wisely and then he married Ashakta Murthy who just happened to be the daughter of  billionaire Indian businessman Naryana Murthy.

Richie  registered "a blind trust" in July 2019 after being appointed chief secretary to the Treasury by then chancellor Sajid Javid, and it is believed to contain a multi-million pound fortune. Blind trusts allow people to make interest from their investments, without knowing where the money is actually invested. This is supposed to remove any conflicts of interest.

As PM Sumac has already made a few mistakes but I will give him this - he seems a lot more prime-ministerial than either of his predecessors.  At least he does his homework  and his ego does not appear to be the size of an over-inflated hot air balloon. Perhaps that is partly down to his Hindu heritage.
