Rishi Sunak asked the man whether he worked in business, to which he replied: ‘I’m homeless’. Sunak said he used to work in finance and asked the man if he was interested in doing so. He told the prime minister he was just trying to get through Christmas and find temporary accommodation.

This js actualy funnt
All the people bashing Rishi. What should he have done? You expect prime minister to just give away job to a random homeless person? This is not how it works guys
Think may be he should have asked how to improve his situation right now…
So cringe.
sigh
🤮
😂😂
When you pick Prime Minister for the sake of DIVERSITY
I mean I'm no fan of Rishi but it's wrong to assume that all homeless people don't have jobs, some do
Insufferable
Rishi's looking for a man in finance, trust fund, non-dom..
Yeah bruv yeah I'm in business, cheese, coffee, joints a beef all half price
Wow. Talk about out of touch – not all of your constituents are millionaire bankers Rishi.
Off with their eds
Genius
What I find ironic is that Rishi's parents came as Indian immigants and Rishi is now the Prime Minister and financially Richer then the King. And that White guy who is most likely English is homeless and can't even make ends meet. It just goes to show how the Indian community has managed in be quite successful in just 1 or 2 genenrations.
this show should never happen
Take his 4 billion off him and build some flats.
He's homeless and he should get help to get out of this predicament. If Rishi could help with his contacts!
This guy has no idea of real life
visibly uncomfortable
His intensions are still pure no matter how disconnected he may be from reality. He's ruling the country after all…
"majority are outside London" He's implying that there are abundant of jobs in Call Centres for Finance Cos
His way of trying to get on the same level with this chap is by saying to him “oh yaaa I used to work in finance.” He has got to be the most out of touch PM this country has ever had.
Multi-millionaire working in a homeless shelter. Unreal.
All politicians should be made work in places like these to understand how the ordinary people manage.
He so out of touch. He’s like a peep show character
When a wealthy pampered kid becomes a wanna be populist politician
The disconnect here is insane
Bro he’s homeless do be asking about finance businesses 😂😂😂
😢😢😢😢
This hurt. I do not care about trolls, or what people think.
But this really hurt my heart.
Poor Rishy went without sky TV when he was a child
But kids don’t have food on table or jackets to keep warm
He doesn’t have a clue. Depressing and disgraceful.
“Im homeless”
Oh lovely would you like to be an investment banker? Like the Wolf of the Streets
What’s wrong with this?
Totally clueless and out of touch.
😂 yeah he’s a high powered exec who comes to the shelter in a Lambo to get free food 😂😂
Come on, Rishi! Get some votes!
He should of give him a job
Wtaf
In probably the last few hours of his premiership I want to offer this observation of mine
Sunak is the exact type of person who Is really smart in school but just clueless about the world in general
2024 general election result. Now who’s homeless…
That’s his new job now
Why he serving eggs 😂
He don’t serve eggs no other day, don’t serve eggs today, like you work in a canteen.
😂
Cringe, cringe, cringe
