Sunak married Akshata Murthy, the daughter of Indian billionaire and co-founder of Infosys, N. R. Narayana Murthy, in August 2009.[6]

They met while studying at Stanford University and have two daughters.[6][7] He is a Hindu,[4] and has taken his oath at the House of Commons on the Bhagavad Gita since 2017.[39][40]

Sunak was previously a governor of the East London Science School.[16]

Sunak was privately educated at Winchester College, an all-boys' boarding school, where he was head boy.[6]

He then studied PPE at Lincoln College, Oxford, graduating with a First[6] in 2001.[1]

In 2006, Sunak obtained an MBA from Stanford University, where he was a Fulbright scholar.[1][7][8]

as of 10 of my posts today best question of the day there

why are 19 patients in nightingale whilst 1000,s are dying in care homes

and obviously no answer from experts, other than their going to die anyway line
Report Cider April 14, 2020 5:48 PM BST
Of course but we're in the realms of reality. If the government is going to hand out billions of pounds to businesses, a few checks and balances are in order. Given all the grants, deferrals etc the vast majority of businesses should be in a position to cover 80% of their monthly payroll.

On a positive note for the 25th mob it is on a Saturday so will be aware if no wages arrive on friday , maybe transfer funds or put money in bank if possible, if need to cover bills ,otherwise the banks will once again be getting the lot , Have they been contacted by the government about deferring charges ?

I might be going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing critics of the guy (or the Tories) on here didn't get a first from Oxford or a Scholarship to Stanford.

In fact I'd imagine spellign Scholarship would be a bit of a test...

I cannot believe he's getting stick from the majority of posters here so far unless these were anti-Tory. I thought he was fantastic eg concise, realistic, competent, knowledgeable, confident and personable. He also tells it how it is; fielded every question with clear and straight answer as if it was his own. He also comes across humble not flash or dismissive of questioners.

The man despite only 39 yrs old is one for the future, and certainly a credit to the country.

If you listen to what he was saying I think there may well be a delay to some Furlough payments

At least he said it was not all signed and delivered ...

Obviously avoiding Fraud the Main issue , could well be a few dodgy attempted hit and run claims ..

He's humble and he's substance - he knows his brief very well. He's also able to think on his feet, and very willing and comfortable answering questions.

Raab looked uncomfortable and might even be sweating. Sunak's different league.
