PMQs: Rishi Sunak labelled as 'desperate' and more unpopular than Boris Johnson
Показать описание
Rishi Sunak has been mocked for losing his WhatsApp messages despite being a “tech bro”.
The prime minister, who often touts his tech-savvy credentials and had a love in with Tesla boss Elon Musk last month, was unable to hand over his WhatsApp messages to the official Covid-19 Inquiry.
The messages, which covered his time as chancellor during the pandemic, had been wiped as Mr Sunak repeatedly changed phones, he claimed.
Labour MP Chris Bryant used the development to launch a stinging attack on the PM, asking: “What is worse: Losing your WhatsApp messages as a tech bro, losing £11.8bn to fraud as chancellor, presiding over the biggest fall in living standards in our history or desperately clinging onto power when you become even more unpopular than Boris Johnson?”
The PM said he was focused on “delivering for the British people”.
