Rishi Sunak said he was not opposed to assisted dying and these comebacks were absolutely brutal
Over the weekend Rishi Sunak said he was not opposed to assisted dying in principle.
With a Commons vote likely on the issue in the next five years, Sunak told journalists in Italy: ‘I’m not against it in principle. It’s just a question of having the safeguards in place and that’s where people have had questions in the past.’
And a hugely important and emotive issue it is too.
This post isn’t about that, however, it’s about the comebacks it prompted on Twitter and brutal doesn’t do it justice, it really doesn’t do it justice at all.
And occasionally totally on-point too.
