He operated a hedge fund and made a billion. His wife is worth two, and her
fatherhas given away five. So why is he a Tory star: because he bought the

parliament to trade favours, he bought their allegiance, cash for sure, and
much kind. The final bill came due when Boris almost certainly demanded his
pound of flesh: he supports a galley of women with no visible evidence of
income. The sovereign appoints HIS prime minister to run HIS government. He
is just as empoweredto dismiss him and parliament, should he choose to do so.
The Tories are forty percent behindin the polls and the economy is in a
precarious position. Expect Suella to lead a revolt overa small or contrived
gripe. Sunak sits on a narrow ledge.
