Rishi Sunak

Your staunch defence of any famous person /celebrity/chancer of a PM is nauseating.

Look
I’m fully aware he’s been part of the worst government ever and played a big role in probably the worst economic turmoil in my life time
Not saying he should be praised for helping out charity food for homeless
Just think it’s a bit unfair to be massively critical of him doing this - he could just not bother and go on holiday on a yacht or something?

I’m all for Sunak and Tory bashing and I’m voting Labour next election
But I won’t waste my energy slating him helping out at a local food place for the homeless- it’s what every single PM has done in the past and will continue to do - whatever the motive

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.

To be fair, our political parties have often been lead by upper-class twits (Liberal ones, Labour ones and Tory ones).

However, nobody took a home video of Hugh Gaitskell at Winchester College in 1919 to ask him who his friends were.

It just so happens we are now getting - due to technology - people at the top who have done cringeworthy things when younger and they can be shown back to us as if they were recorded yesterday. I am not a huge fan of Sunak, but I just feel to keep dragging this clip up is harsh.

Yes I know he looks a knob at the homeless canteen same as how he did when he couldn't work a debit card. But I don't care about that or his personal wealth*, I just hope that underneath he is a clever bloke who can help sort out the bloody mess the country is in.

*If I had a wife worth a billion would I be working the hours he works and doing stuff like this serving food thing (PR exercise it may be). No I would be sitting in front of a 65" telly playing PS5 whilst drinking Dom Perignon '85.

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

Gosh you really are that gullible.

Truss was pathetic at when doing the media rounds but has generally fared much better when talking with ordinary members of the public that weren't privately educated.

It’s not just social media, Boris, May, Cameron, Brown and Blair either possesed genuine empathy or had enough about them to mimic it so it wasn't immediately obvious they couldn't give a toss.

It’s not the first time this overeducated idiot has done it, it won't be the last.

The weird thing with borrowing a car, not having the sense to dress down, so not to score avoidable own goals e. g. "devil wears prada".

To make Boris seem in touch with the people you have to be an absolute whopper.
