Rishi Sunak

It was a awkward convo and he put his foot in it at the heat of the moment - but Sunak meant no malice - he’s still more coherent and sincere than that last bumbling oaf as a PM - he just comes across as a bit wet and nerdy. Just think it’s a massive overreaction over a slight slip up.

5-10 years from now a Labour leader will be having pretty much same sort of convos with homeless - the rise in social media means you’re going to get slated for one minor slip in a conversation in front of the cameras

“Yes he showed he’s socially incompetent, out of touch with reality and the people he’s supposed to govern and panicked when confronted with the most basic interaction with a member of the public, but it wasn’t malicious incompetence, so leave him alone”
 
He picked up the toast with his hands not tongs
wearing gloves of not, he would be getting called a useless **** if he did it on my servery

So you'd rather he say nothing about poverty?

Tbh to mention it at all in a royal Xmas speech (which are usually fiercely apolitical) he's doing his bit to hold the govts toes to the fire. Yes, I get the hypocrisy of doing it from a publicly funded palace but that's another argument.

Nobody is slating him for helping out at soup kitchen you plonker.

The criticism is for using it as a cynical photo opportunity and coming across as insincere, and acting like Will from Inbetweeners.

I'd like to think that most BMooners would have the requisite empathy and awareness to shut up, listen and not grandstand or act up in such a position. He is meant to be giving out food and listening, not an ad-hoc career advisor.

Rishi has no frame of reference to that bloke. Most people haven't been homeless, but they have probably been hard up, had insecure employment or living situation. Or even just having to concentrate on what they put in the shopping basket.

Rishi has never had that, cutting back is swapping brands of champagne and caviar.

He would have done better if he had just turned up and quietly helped out without any photographer being present.
