Rishi Sunak

[Vic]

IT’S STILL NOT RIGHT !!! he don’t have to worry about heating his house. It’s a joke. Makes my blood boil !

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.

He's being ironic. Primarily in response to the (justified) criticism that Sunak got for his weird behaviour at a homeless soup kitchen.

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.
