Rishi Sunak’s attempt to get down with the geezers is today’s funniest thing

Rishi Sunak and his tech heiress wife, Akshata Murty, are estimated to be worth a combined £730m, according to the most recent reports.

And we mention this because the while the prime minister is many things – please, keep it clean – a man of the people is surely not one of them.

But that didn’t stop Sunak attempting to get down with the geezers at a Q&A on Monday and it’s (intentionally) today’s funniest thing.

“Awright? [Double thumbs up] Good! Awight!”

This footage of Sunak attempting to be a normal lad has Dick Van Dyke vibes.

To conclude …

I’m almost embarrassed for him. Almost. 😂

And just in case you haven’t seen enough of the PM already today …

If this is Rishi Sunak passionate about something, we’d hate to see him bored! pic.twitter.com/ywZ2VlfqZ6
