visited the homeless shelter in London run by The Passage on Friday and praised the"fantastic" work that the institution is carrying out during the festive period.
The PM got behind the counter and helped served food to people coming in for a hot meal - including a full English breakfast to one homeless man called Dean - but a rather awkward exchange ensued.The PM replied:"That is exactly what I am trying to do." After Dean said that sorting the economy would be good for business, Mr Sunak then asked:"Do you have… do you work in business?"More on Rishi Sunak

Who’s to say he wasn’t? With cost of living these days. Typical press and politicians to focus on the negatives rather then the positive engagement that ensued to get a story.
Said as she is tucked up warmly in her mansion, raking in thousands and knocking back the fizz. Sorry Angela, did the media not catch you at the soup kitchen helping to feed the homeless?
His phone calls were too he is so false it’s embarrassing
Is that Angela 'Scum' Rayner?
The Tory seven dwarfs .Clueless, hapless, hopeless,dopey and Rishi. I knows there's only five but with rampant inflation it's all I could afford.
The fact he is in a shelter acting like he cares is patronising enough!
Business of Big Issue
Sly news ignoring the fact that the man already expressed an interest in business and finance. I only refollowed you 24 hours ago and you’ve already reminded me why I stopped.
This publicity stunt was a toe curling faux pas for this phony PM.
He has no idea what real people suffer
These people are so out of touch they make me sick
At least he was doing something. It’s easy to criticise.
Dull as dishwater, he has no clue.
And I think the economic illiteracy, hypocrisy and champagne socialism of the entire Labour Party is excruciating, but you will never, ever hear that kind of view on Sky News.
What the cameras didn't show was when he asked a drug addict how his investments had gone this year 🤦
Well AngelaRayner is not wrong is she, he takes “out of touch” to a whole new level. He is the real Grinch, who with his corrupt lying cabal have been stealing Christmas for the last twelve years.
And here we have where we are.
Yeah man I sell Nickel bags at the corner .🤪
In the business of getting bfckd by society itself, yeah sure lol
Angela, as she’s sipping champagne thinking about homeless people
Why? Sunak's encounter was one of the best I've ever seen of a politician, sepecially a rich one, meeting a homeless man. Makes no assumptions about the man's past or future (both of which could be in business). The man was clearly engaged, polite and respectful.
Whilst I agree with stupidity of question asked I'd like to point out to lisanandy under last labour government homelessness was rife especially all eastern Europeans that flocked here once Blair & straw opened border after badly miscalculating numbers that would arrive
Well couldn't get more unchristian than AngelaRayner UKLabour she's very toxic woman.
Well she thinks people that don’t vote Labour are scum 🤷♂️
And where were you AngelaRayner
So out of touch. We have to get rid of these horrible Tories in 2023.
Out of touch,typical Tory
Ohjhhhh! Dear, how embarrassing. A prime minister who says he is in it to reunite the Country . A billionaire feeding people free food , how on earth does he see this as a good thing ! ttttttttt!
Discourse analysis doesn't reach this 'excruciating' conclusion
Ignorance is no defence RishiSunak .... Or is it just ennui? Lack of compassion? Or just don't give an actual damn?
Angela Rayner looks like an extra from Rita, Bob and Sue Too
Out of touch all of them.
This is what the TINO's gave the country for Christmas
AngelaRayner Really ? … surprised she could manage to interrupt her Christmas shopping at Harrods … woman of the people 🫢😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Labour's constant carping with no better options is excruciating. Sky's faithful regurgitating of everything labour puts out I'd excruciating.
She’s not wrong
It's critical for UN_HRC to know that someone like Tara Sepehrifar who's reports in the past have been riddled with disinformation, & is someone who considers Islamic Republic's use of force against protesters legitimate, is not fit to report on the regime's crimes MahsaAmini I
Tara Sepehrifar is not the voice of Iranians. She is a regime apologizer and has relation with NIAC and other regime lobbyists. We don't trust her. UN_HRC ViviKrsticevic IranRevolution MahsaAmini I
Labour's attack dog Rayner...
Wow, what a surprise, another out of touch Conservative politician...
Only time she's ever given free beef!
Talk about being that disconnected from reality.
ToryScum
He lives on a different planet
What do you expect from a privately educated, tax avoidant ignorant and self centred Tory iexpectednothingless rishisunakisclassist
At least he didn't say 'this time next year he could have a job in Cyber.'
I Would have said yes and asked for a government contract
BorisJohnson would never have made that mistake. MerryChristmas2022
Naw! So homeless man, who do you work for? Actually, I work for the NHS kind man who has Seven houses.
He probably does work in the cocia8ne business
toryscum
So what do you do Angela? Oh I’m a rich champagne socialist. I live in luxury but love the poor as they make me look good
But is she...
Unaware, out of touch and a complete embarrassment
SOS! Mehdi Keshvari is scheduled to be executed on Monday, December 26, at 4 am local in time in Dezful Prison, southwest Iran. Spread these hashtags : MehdiKeshvari مهدی_کشوری
Of course Murdock mouth piece won't, but if it was a labour official you'd be all over them foaming at the mouth.
He hasn’t the foggiest.
Don’t worry rishi you will won’t be around for long !plenty time to engage with the society after you’ll be kicked out of no 10!remember you were not elected !
Misleading as always. The guy wants to work and he asked him if he liked finance. Don’t let the truth get in the way.
Just when you thought BorisJohnson was the most humiliating PM we could have, RishiSunak shows himself to be so far out of touch with people he might as well be in orbit. Offensive to anything approaching decency.
So out of touch with the uk population it’s embarrassing
Idiot
Wiz a set up thone
Surprised the homeless shelter agreed to having Toryscum do their PR there.
Hay RishiSunak out PR department just shat out their Yule logs. We don't think it's right to say those places are great. In truth, those places are great as canteens at a place of work. There shouldn't be homelessness in your wealthy developed country.
Quite a lot of homelsss people work homeless people are not just runaways and drug addicts
🤦♀️🙈😳
Yes he’s working business with the government by benefits
This government just gets worse everytime.
Love how everyone taking a dig at RishiSunak doesn’t realise he’ll be the best prime minister this country has ever seen. ScreenShot this
All mps should be gone remove them all and start a fresh simple
biasedsky
And did he work in business 🤔?
Where is Starmer?
That’s just the UKs out of touch government for you. They really are backwards wankers. Utterly useless. Ask a homeless man if he works 😂 it’s like asking you if your Indian RishiSunak
Out of touch
Never know a group of people so out of touch as these Tories. ToryCostOfGreedCrisis BrexitBrokeBritain
Homeless man replies 'do I look like a c***?'
How are people who are so awkward or out of touch allowed to be leader?
It was excruciating indeed. Typical 'Have you tried not being poor?' attitude.
He is so out of touch it’s not true.
I honestly thought this was a set up that’s gone terribly wrong. What an absolute clown not a PM who thought this was a great PR Stunt. Out of touch with reality He’s an embarrassment for ToriesOutOfTouch ToriesOut
The sheer insensitivity in Sunak's approach shows how out of touch tories are! They pop up for the camera to make it look like they care! Barclay another example who swerves & dodges not tackling issues that need sorting! GTTO ToriesOutOfTouch
A man, a party and a government of the people? Do you think a man who thinks like this really knows what’s best for the most vulnerable in society? Disgusting may be a strong term but in this case it’s appropriate.
Do you have a…. are you interested in… business? Cringe
Why hasn’t BBCWorld given any coverage of this story ?
Being homeless does not mean being unemployed. Being homeless does not mean having no aspirations in life. Being conned by the short video clip that has been edited says more about you than the motivation of the person editing the clip.
Being homeless does not mean being unemployed. Being homeless does not mean having no aspirations in life.
This guys a bigger tosser than Boris Johnson and Tony Blair put together, just a brown Maggie thatcher who happens to be a man.
I didn't vote for sunak. However, I'm happy to let him give a go and try for the best of this country. We can be changing PM every 2 mths.
This Bloke hasn’t got a clue …
🙄Jesus
I wish Sunak would do some work. Too many photo-ops not enough planning for the future.
Tbh if Sunak had phrased the question as being in the pasted ie 'workED in business...he'd had been nearer the mark having excluded 3m plus small business directors and the ir35 screwed consultants excluded ...they make my blood boil...
‘ I don’t have working class friends’ Same energy
No millionaire as rich as he may be can abstract himself that much from reality, as long as he lives in the same bloody earth.
Lol. How many PMs haven't we voted for now? I've lost count.
I wonder if government will pay themselves bonuses for this year. 🤔
Whats with the gloves? Oh hold on, these 'pen-pushers' never experience REAL work!
What a pillock , where did he think he was ?🤬
Is this the guy interested in finance
Rishi is not only a complete tool. He is one of the cheap ones that you can buy on Amazon that last five minutes then burn out
Why do these fecks think EVERYONE works in business
What a tosser.
Recruiter at Goldman Sachs. “We’ve whittled down the interviews to 3 candidates. 2 are from Eaton and one of no fixed abode.” When does he start?
Had he come far?
Well done supporters of this crap show. Our homeless including many veterans are on the streets as these fools have no idea. You think they will help our country, just stop flag showing when you enable this.
But NOT as bad as a labour party, leader who DOESNT support strikes for better pay & conditions...Labour...RED TORIES
Hate these forced PR events. False and embarrassing. RishiSunak
A bit like his message to the nation…going to chose and speak to a few of the public! What is all that about! Roll on 2024
This guy hasn't got a clue. Can't fill up a car, can't use a debit card and now thinks homeless people work in business.
He should sack his PR team. Who thought that was a good idea?
He’s an evil Tory 🐀🐀🐀 they’re not human
RishiSunak how about seeing if you can give this guy a break and find him a job? That would be in the true spirit of Christmas
What an absolute Tory!
it wasnt that bad
We shouldn’t have food banks in the UK at all
Rishi Sunak with his finger on the pulse of people who are struggling In society. How can leaders so out of touch with the less well off legislate to help make their lives better? He’ll be walking around after asking them how the interest rate rises are affecting their mortgages.
What!, a Tory that's out of touch with the people, surely not.
Honestly, the guy is just an embarrassment RishiSunak
To paraphrase eddieizzard 'And what do you do?' 'I'm a plumber.' 'What on earth is that?'
Stop so called helping out in these charity places as you don’t care and people should not have to rely on charities in this day and age and this country.
No genuine empathy
And I thought Trump was bad....
Absolutely mind blowing, they live in another world. NOT A CLUE.
''Yes, I work in the cardboard-box-recycling business'''
I do not know how they did it, but kudos to the tories for finding someone so out of their depth they can just about see Liz Truss far above them.
100k pr photo
Putting it mildly
Another car crash PR stunt gone wrong
Let's be honest. Tories and labour have been standing the British people in the back for the last 30 years. This is no more than a photo opportunity 🙂
They’re sneering at us.
“Do you work in business” —— “no. I’m homeless” “Is finance something you’d like to do” —— “I’m just trying to get through Christmas” 😬
Can’t believe lil’ Ricky is still allowed to stay in are cundry. We voted Brexit and we ant are Brexit. This isn’t are Brexit. oiltrader16
toriesout
Sunak shouldn't have been allowed to become PM. The man is a disgrace.
Totally out of touch just like his contactless card shenanigans
They should never have allowed him to do this. It’s treating vulnerable people like dancing monkeys, all for a photo op. Get him told.
“How do you think it went?….””…..Time will tell sir….”
😂 sunak keeps upsetting the native brokies
It just shows how out of touch with the average person the PM is….shocking….really!!!
So wholesome 🥹
Fuc**** 💩
