Rishi Sunak laughs during a visit to Cluny Castle in Inverurie during a campaign visit on August 16, 2022 in Inverurie, Scotland.\u00a0<\/div>\nRishi Sunak has laughed off speculation that Liz Truss might offer him the health secretary job<\/a> in her cabinet.\u00a0<\/p>\n The former chancellor chuckled when asked about reports he could be offered the health portfolio if Truss is made prime minister.<\/p>\n He told BBC Radio 2:\u00a0\u201cI am not focused on all of that and I doubt Liz is.\u201d<\/p>\n Sunak alluded to concerns over potential cabinet clashes in such a situation and added:\u00a0\u201cI am not thinking about jobs for me or anyone else.<\/p>\n \u201cOne thing I have reflected on as well a bit is being in a government, in cabinet, over the last couple of years, you really need to agree with the big things.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause it is tough, as I found, when you don\u2019t. And I wouldn\u2019t want to end up in a situation like that again.\u201d<\/p>\n The former chancellor did not hold back during the interview with Vanessa Feltz, accusing his rival Truss of \u201cpromising the earth to everybody\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t have your cake and eat it,\u201d he said. He rejected the suggestion that his campaign strategy\u00a0 was not \u201cpolitically savvy\u201d and added:\u00a0\u201cIt is being honest and for better or worse, that is what I am going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n Sunak said he would \u201clove\u201d to cut tax, adding:\u00a0\u201cBut I think my priorities are the right ones for the country right now.<\/p>\n \u201cLiz\u2019s plans are promising the earth to everybody. I don\u2019t think you can have your cake and eat it.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think life is that simple and I think her plan risks making everything worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rishi Sunak laughs during a visit to Cluny Castle in Inverurie during a campaign visit on August 16, 2022 in Inverurie, Scotland.\u00a0 Rishi Sunak has laughed off speculation that Liz Truss might offer him the health secretary job in her cabinet.\u00a0 The former chancellor chuckled when asked about reports he could be offered the health […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5199,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/630372b52300003b00733a9e.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5200"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5200\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5201,"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5200\/revisions\/5201"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teachbytes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\nRelated…<\/h3>\n
