Rishi Sunak joked about Nando’s re-opening and these 9 people had a bone to pick
Chancellor Rishi Sunak thought he’d use the imminent re-opening of Nando’s to lighten everyone’s mood just a little bit.
Well, at least the mood of everyone who follows him on Twitter, when he shared a story about 54 of its branches re-opening, saying it was ‘the good news we’ve all been waiting for’.

And while some Nando’s fans no doubt shared his excitement, it left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths (you see what we’re doing here).
Here are 9 people who had a bone to pick.

If this isn't a vaccine, an efficacious treatment or a principled stand from the cabinet against Dominic Cummings then I suspect you've read the room desperately wrong here. https://t.co/KXew3tRU5z

The Chancellor doing silver linings here, like a total pro. 50,000+ dead. BUT cheeky Nandos. The economy has been screwed more than Ron Jeremy. BUT cheeky Nandos. Your govt are a bunch of dissembling, shameless cuntpuffins. BUT cheeky Nandos. (NB. I do actually like Nandos.) https://t.co/KmX9SjPPx9

New Zealand announces it has had no new cases at all for five days, and now has no covid patients in hospital.
Our "good news" is Nando's re-opening some of its outlets (for takeaway only).
Really, this is all you need to know. https://t.co/OZRRABwruG

Nearly 40,000 dead, no treatment, no trust, no credibility, no money but the Chancellor of the Exchequer tweets about Nando’s to look popular and get some retweets. Realise the seriousness of the past week and please do your job. @RishiSunak

If I have to collect it, can I go for drive to a beauty spot the day before to make sure I'm going to be OK to drive?
