Rishi Sunak Wife Has Refused To Take His Name

He must have a small dick.

OP, it's no longer 1972.

[quote] OP, it's no longer 1972.

Since 1972 - every spouse of a US President has taken their husband's name

There is not a single First Lady in history who has kept their maiden name.

[QUOTE] There is not a single First Lady in history who has kept their maiden name.

Nor will there ever be.

Stroppy woman.

I bet she dictates the bedroom requirements.

....

"refused" would indicate that she was supposed to take on his name and rejected the order. Words matter. Imprecise words even more. In other words: She kept her name. Different story. End of story.

[quote] Since 1972 - every spouse of a US President has taken their husband's name

Doesn't matter in the least. Rishi Sunak is not in any way running for US president. The UK is not the US, and the job of a UK PM is not the job of a US president.

Apples and oranges.

It's not that unusual in the UK, Cherie Booth only took on the Blair named after Tony was elected.

It was obviously advantageous to her then.

[quote] She kept her name.

I will betr that when the next election rolls around, she will be pressured by his handlers to take his name.

[quote] Who The Hell Cares?

The Hindustan Times is in a lather of excitement.

Their countrymen are leading the UK and soon they'll leading the US when Old Joe pops off his perch.

Maybe this is why Rishi Sunak lost to Liz Truss

Voters thinking, "What type of leader is this, if his own wife won't take his name?'

I'm sure the question passed through many voters' minds, that his own wife doesn't want to take his name.

HM Queen Elizabeth didn't take Prince Phillips surname either.

She is named Elizabeth Windsor on her death certificate.

Liz Truss didn’t take her husband’s last name, R12.

R14 Phillip was the "spouse" and 2nd in that partnership

[quote] Liz Truss didn’t take her husband’s last name

and she only lasted 44 days

Unlike Theresa May & Margaret Thatcher

Her family is very famous for their wealth. Why would she want to give that name up?

His ears are huge but he’s better looking than many Indian men.

[quote]the first spouse of a UK Prime Minister

Denis Thatcher and Philip May did not take their Prime Minister spouses original names. Nor did the one they just got rid of: Liz Truss and Hugh O'Leary. Imagine if she would have taken THAT name! ☘️

So are you sexist or racist, OP?

[quote] Denis Thatcher and Philip May did not take their Prime Minister spouses original names.

No, Theresa May & Margaret Thatcher took their names

r11 doubtful, given the harassment of hindus on U.S. campuses (let alone the tendency to blame sikhs for crimes perpetrated against the sikh community by demographics other than white. . . and the general dismissal of all other indian majorites, save far leftists xndxans and fundie muslims.)

Could someone translate r22 into English? I'm sorry, I don't speak retardese.

I have many female Indian colleagues, not one of them changed their surname after marriage

Be that as it may, R22, I assure you that Indians are over the moon at excitement at their conquests in England AND the US.

r23 Sweetie, if you're unable to decipher poor grammar, then perhaps you're not really educated at all. . . especially in this day and age. .

English? let me see if I recall the American vernacular standard.

aye bae iz likes literally nogo cuz my peeps be livin' for realz, lol. and fuckboi up there, aight, plays the race card, which proves the u.s. ain't gonna vibe, yo. dey see dots as successful, model minorities, model minorites don't get no contract dealz.

Just how big is Rishi's dick?

Never understood the name thing really. It seems like a giant pain to have to change it on all documents and then there's how a lot of people end up divorcing anyway. OK, it's nice for a family to 'share' a name but meh.

Penny Morduant might still become UK Prime minister.

You have stated your boundaries, Miss R28.

R3 this may come as a shock to you, but there are countries other than the USA and even more shocking, they are often different.

R3 R4 Both of you are wrong. Eleanor Roosevelt never changed her name. She kept her birth name following her marriage and all the way through her husband’s presidency—until her own death. During her entire life she was (Anna) Eleanor Roosevelt and nothing else.

Do South Asian women usually take their husband's name?

They don't in East Asia.

I don’t think Deepak Chopra’s daughter took Nick Jonas’ last name.

All she took was his clout.

[quote] I don’t think Deepak Chopra’s daughter took Nick Jonas’ last name.

Deepak Chopra’s daughter is NOT married to Nick Jonas

On the internet tubes she is😵‍💫

Nick Jonas wanted to get his greedy little hands on all that New Age money.

I'll bet Akshata beats Rishi with a penis shaped bataka in marriage counseling sessions.

Hillary's turning point towards her downfall was dropping Rodham and taking Bill's name for political reasons. Cynical compromises form character, a little at a time.

[Quote]Since 1972 - every spouse of a US President has taken their husband's name. There is not a single First Lady in history who has kept their maiden name.

I think the point is no one cares what people call themselves.

And your point isn't really noteworthy in the 21st century.

She's the one with the money. She can do whatever she likes. People will still grovel and fawn over her.

[quote] your point isn't really noteworthy in the 21st century.

Everyone in this thread comes from the 20th century.

She’s a billionaire…she can do what she wants!

R41 the other point is that the point he tried to make, badly, is also factually incorrect.

That other thread about Rishi has been cancelled.

[quote] I think the point is no one cares what people call themselves.

Then why haven't we had a First Lady that has kept her own name?

Wikipedia says she part owns the Wendy's fast food restaurants in India. Classy.

She’s beautiful. And whether she takes her husband’s name is her own business.

R47 we have. She was First Lady from 1933-1945. See above 👀 and read

Small and cute, not beautiful. Like a gerbil.

She married a billionaire Punjabi. She can keep her name.

Akshata did not change her name. Nor did she get her doctorate.

R50 If she didn't have the same name already, she probably would have taken his. We all know that. It's kind of meaningless.

Why did the other thread about Rishi get killed? What is that cunting? What is that cunting about?

As R54 said - It was Eleanor Roosevelt great luck that her maiden name was the same as her married name - as she married her cousin

She would've anyway. She was very advanced in many ways, but that definitely would not have been one, especially at the time she married Franklin.

R47 The UK and the USA are DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

This may be hard for you to process, but the rest of the world isn’t the USA. Whether the “First Lady” takes her husband’s name has absolutely nothing to do with the name of the wife of the British Prime Minister.

Crazy concept, eh?

If Eleanor were living today she'd probably have eschewed marrying a man and married a woman instead.

maybe, r59, but honestly, like Hillary, marrying the guy she did marry made her matter infinitely more than she would have otherwise. That's not a slam, that was the choice in general. And I can't blame her. Once he was gone, well, these days, yes, she might well have married another woman.

The OP wants to make this an issue and no one else cares.

R60 If she wanted to 'matter' and she were 20-years-old today she could run for office herself. Don't need to marry for that now.

[quote] but the rest of the world isn’t the USA

Then why haven't we had a spouse of a UK Prime Minister who kept their own name until now?

R63 If we're being pedantic, Denis Thatcher, Hugh O'Leary and Philip May kept their own names.

I think we do get that r58. no need for bitter. And the truth is, the whole "first lady" thing just doesn't matter that much in the UK. We get that. Spouse of the monarch and all the monarch's family matters so much more than "wife of" or "husband of" PM. We get that.

[quote] Denis Thatcher and Philip May kept their own names.

Because Margaret & Theresa took their husband's names

Before you say "What about Liz Truss" - she only lasted 44 days. Who knows how longer she would have lasted if she followed Mags & Theresa by taking her husband's name

It's actually kind of amazing what some women did with what little power was given to them. Abigail Adams really was a remarkable woman, the only one I think can be remotely called a "Founding Mother." Nothing wrong with Martha Washington or Dolly Madison, but come on, they were accessories. Abigail tried.

R63 Boris Johnson’s spouse moved into 10 Downing Street under her own name. Of course they weren’t married at the time. Imagine that happening in the USA!

R63 you’re missing the point - no surprise there. The point being that not everything that happens on this planet is seen through the prism of what happens in the USA.

Except for people like you.

And of them all, every First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt was probably the one who most tried to do what ever traditional wives were supposed to do: open their husbands' eyes to the reality that not everybody is doing great, hey, maybe you should give a shit about that.

[quote] Boris Johnson’s spouse moved into 10 Downing Street under her own name

Then she quietly changed her name to "Johnson" when they got married in 2021

shacking up at 10 downing street. That was special.

I know we have our fights, but we really do need Britain to get its shit together, soon. We got world war III about to break out. Stop your nonsense (and we'll stop ours, hopefully).

R72 Sunak is boring and more of a traditional conservative so I'm sure that the nonsense will stop. Starmer is boring as well and isn't peddling anything crazy so if he wins in 2 years' time, we'll be fine there too.

Missing the point, again, R70.

R74 her name is now Carrie Johnson

Nobody said otherwise, R75.

My family is from Italy. Women keep their birth names.

But she still needs to walk five paces behind him at state functions right?

Wow — definitely a harlot.

Dusky strumpet! How dare she not do what centuries of American First Ladies have done??
