Paetongtarn insists Thaksin has no PM ambition

[snoop1130]

 

Pheu Thai Party’s prime ministerial candidate, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, on Wednesday tried to play down remarks by her father, former prime minister Thaksin, that he is yearning to end his self-exile and return to be his family in Thailand.

 

“Didn’t he say that he wants to come back to help look after his grandchildren and not to become prime minister?” said Paetongtarn at a news conference, two days after giving birth to her second child.

 

Speaking with her husband, Pidok Sooksawas by her side, Paetongtarn said Thaksin was very excited with his latest grandchild and wants to be back in Thailand to spend time with the family.

He should shut up. Killing her hopes.

You can always tell when members of the Shinawatra clan are lying... their lips start moving.

He'll be back...

Why wasn't he back for the birth?

Thaksin doesn't need to be PM if his daughter is PM. He'll tell her what to say and do.

Killing her hopes in some areas possibly, and certainly boosting them in others.

For sure.

He's had plenty of practice doing that schtick before.

First with his brother-in-law then with his sister.

Yet, aren't they all puppets in a round about manner?
