He's a right dodgy cunt. We didn't even elect the corrupt fuck. Actually fuming. He's completely in the pockets of oil companies. His wife's company made a $1.5bn deal with BP six weeks prior to confirming the new oil and gas licenses.

I'm talking about Rishi Sunak.

itt: you've misidentified "he"
The person you're replying to is talking about Rishi Sunak, not Al Gore.
Was that user talking about fmr. US VP Gore or UK PM Sunak?
