Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was challenged by Piers Morgan over £1000 to a refugee charity on that flights with asylum seekers onboard will take off to Rwanda before the general election.
The bet has been met with considerable outcry, although Sunak has since then said that he’s ‘not a betting man’.
James O’Brien reacts to this, citing examples of Rishi Sunak’s betting in the past…

Love Listening to James' O'Brien. Lovely guy who always talks sense. Sunak certainly should not have taken that bet.
Very well said. Thank you
The bet just shows how removed from the public Rishi is.
James truing to pretend that Kid Starver isn't also in bed with Murdoch and the right wing press. What an absolute hypocrite
I hit out at people who think its alright for our population to go up by millions fools
Could you imagine Harold Wilson or Margaret Thatcher taking a bet with a ninth rate “journalist” ?
Sunak is heartless but if you go back far enough he and his family are immigrants too so I find it highly immorral for him to do that to people who are trying to escape from suffering way of life.
A multimillionaire pretending to have empathy with ‘desperate people’, ridiculous.
James O'Pen Borders.
Sunak speaks absolute bull 💩
Yes the Albanians are desperate right James
i would be more surprised if people came here and spend 1000s of pounds to do so, didn't get angry and try and stay. so what, shows the lengths they will go to in order to steal our money
Trading Places.
Alan Russo the director.
There are some very interesting interviews with him
Sunak doesnt have a clue what is going on outside his tiny bubble
Jesus james youve little to be complaining about now lol … piers show isnt a political show, 😂
This was painful to hear. Gosh
What's worse is that Andrew and Tristan Tate both came across as far more honest, genuine, empathic, in-touch, and morally superior than the actual British PM 😅. Albeit an unelected PM, but one who's gone rogue and is just doing what he wants. He doesn't answer to the British People, they never voted for him 🤷♂️
Jame OB is a total liar. Distorts "fact" to justify his chip.
Who does Sunak think he is. He is a criminal for a war vrimes against Palestinians. Please UK government let him step down
I think Jame’s Eddie Murphy impression needs work 😂
I watched ‘trading places’ a few weeks ago. Amazing film !although not for young kids. Think it’s rated 18 James.
How can Sunak claim that everyone he's spoken to says the plan is their number one priority … when he actively avoids talking to ordinary people?
He's not a betting man … with his own money. Other people's money, though, and he's more than willing.
Whinge whinge whinge mr perfect
Perhaps we will have a bet if Ed Davey resigns James
James O’Brien. I watch you everyday. I am always interested in your comments. I always agree with your views. Is it wrong that I also watch you because I find you so attractive?
