The media described the conversation on Saturday as “embarrassing”. The deputy leader of the largest opposition party, Labour, Angela Rayner, tweeted that the exchange was “intolerable”. Labor MP Bill Esterson wrote that this showed Sunak had lost touch with ordinary people.
A TV clip from Sunak’s visit to a homeless shelter on Friday shows the prime minister conversing with a man named Dean. “Do you work in business?” Sunak asked. “No, I’m homeless,” Dean replied. But he is interested in the economy, especially in the financial industry. Ex-investment banker Sunak, who is considered the richest MP in the British House of Commons, then said: “By the way, I used to work in the financial industry.” Could the man imagine that for himself? Yes, Dean said he could. “But first I want to get through Christmas.”
