The PM has a track record for being out of touch, but people with failed enterprises do end up homeless, say writers Simon Hattenstone and Daniel Lavelle

and bespoke £3,500 Henry Herbert suits. And there is the small matter of his personal fortune. He and his tech heiress wife, Akshata Murty, are worth an estimated £730m. He is quite evidently not one of us, as Margaret Thatcher might have said.

This is a man so removed from the everyday world that he appears to get a kick from role-playing service-sector jobs. In 2020, he impersonated ato promote his ill-fated “eat out to help out” scheme after lockdown. Now he’s serving a full English with a smile. What began as a publicity stunt is beginning to look dangerously like a fetish. And there he was last Friday in front of the cameras, serving breakfast to the down and out when Dean appeared.

Who commissioned this? You’re barking up the wrong tree with this one, it won’t do you any favours. No hilarity, Sunak in a cashmere jumper, asking people what they were doing this weekend, other questions about their careers were present tense. No new followers for faux outraged

Point of mocking Sunak is whatever he's doing at a place supporting the homeless he isn't doing a thing about it, the consequences of such a conversation for him just reinforce his view impoverished is all down to the individual. The poor have aspirations he stops them rising up.

“Yeah, I’m a man of business. Just have a terrible bankruptcy lawyer, unfortunately.”

In Australia, the homeless usually have full-time jobs, sure.

This is a click bait, troll of a story. There are more bankrupts who live comfortably by divesting their ill gotten gains to other people. They only end up homeless when their co-conspirators kick them out. Do better Guardian, presenting this crap is divisive and out of touch

But in his defence, sure he lacks the common touch and has zero small-talk skills but this can be expected when you're born into a family of overlords from the British Protectorate.

Ballocks

lmao okay this is a hot take

Thanks for the laugh and demonstrating its not just Rishi who is weirdly removed from society

This is a fair point, well made. Could happen to (nearly) any of us
