Is Rishi Sunak in touch with ordinary people?

As celebrations for the festival of Diwali begin, residents in Leicestershire say Rishi Sunak will need to reach out to ordinary people.

Mr Sunak is the first British-Asian to become prime minister.

Yeah he's just like everyone, he understands day to day strungles with being worth over 200 million and on the top 100 richest lost

[titteryenot]

What, £730 million Rishi? *That* Rishi? Yeah, he’s *totally* in touch with ‘ordinary people’. This is a man whose swimming pools cost more to heat per year than the average salary.

Rishi “I have no working class friends” Sunak.

[GravityBoy]

Rishi will never understand what it is like to not be able to make ends meet.

[avarmauk]

“I completely can relate to the average British person. Just yesterday we ran out of caviar to garnish our lobster with. I feel your pain peasants”

Rishi Sunak (probably)

[AshishKumar-ulki]

British people celebrate their monarchy which is laughable in modern times but they complain about how a multimillionaire who was brought up in a middle class family shouldn't be ther prime minister.

I wish people would wake up to what's really going on in the WORLD

[TheSuperPsychoKiller]

Sunaks victory isn’t much to brag about. He was up against Boris Johnson with a terrible reputation and an unknown lady. This was hardly a competition.

[d_verse]

From "No INDIANS & DOG ARE ALLOWED" to "A INDIAN ORIGIN PM OF BRITAIN"!
.. that's how history Changes dear! it's just seven decades!

[gfox]

I just cant believe this is happening to us..

[andremp]

I mean the fact he referred to a McDonalds menu item that hasn't been on sale for a couple of years, speaks volumes.

[garyblake]

The fella spends more on heating his swimming pool than the average Brit earns in a year.

[npkaranth]

He may not be In touch with ordinary people due to his billionaire credentials but he is bloody good economist and if he can do wonders with the economy then the benefits will reach the ordinary man 👍

[jimthompson]

Dumb question. So to those who want him to be in touch with ordinary people, why? I’m a white, heterosexual, middle class male. Does that mean only those that understand how I feel can work for me?

[cipher]

Being PM must be a lot like a hobby or a bucket list thing for billionaire Sunak.

[KL-otyt]

He comes from a family which supported him because they struggled to provide for him. British royals even don't get this much criticism for sitting on centuries worth of loot as personal wealth.

[jenlin]

Sorry I’m proud of him!! He is a lot more switched on then Liz or Boris, refreshing he’s 42 aswell

[ballshippin]

We are literally a colony of the WEF now

[japfourme]

Yes! He’s looking forward to us all paying for the heating of his new swimming pool!!

[AMITDAS-syrv]

Indians are happy if an Indian loots british empire.
