Recent commentary has focused on UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's handling of a controversy involving donations to the Conservative Party, highlighting a perceived inconsistency in his principles, particularly his refusal to give up the Frank Hester gold. Critics, including journalist Andrew Rawnsley, have pointed out Sunak's reluctance to reject financial contributions from donors accused of racism. This situation has sparked a debate on the integrity of political figures and their stance on racism, with Rawnsley and others accusing Sunak of prioritizing financial support over ethical standards, suggesting Sunak's principles have a price point.

Excellent column from @andrewrawnsley today. Please retweet. My conclusion, Rishi Sunak is very principled. He is committed to Marxist principles. Groucho Marx, that is. “Those are my principles. And if you don’t like them, well, I have others.” https://t.co/aRpUQ85Ap8
