"I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who supports a food bank." No one disputes the decency of people who run and support foodbanks, but the fact that we have to have them is a national disgrace, brought on by this disgusting government.

[ohheyitskevinc]

He’s already checked out and thinking of his Californian mansion and his tax free lifestyle. Not sure why he even bothered showing up.

[RichardFraser-yt]

Charity is replacing a basic social safety net. This is disgusting.

[jujitsu]

his body language while the first caller is speaking tells you all you need to know before he even opens his mouth

[iielysiumx]

The fact we are the 5th richest economy in the world and we have food banks should be a national embarrassment and the government should be ashamed that they have let things get this bad

[MrDavey]

Look at Sunak casually drinking his coffee nonchalantly as the caller is making a heartfelt cry about the existence of food banks! It says it all. His actions belie his words. He has no idea about the real world AND he’s not bothered!

[andrewwilliamson]

The way he drinks his tea nonchalantly while she goes through the stats says it all

[rufus]

His children will be growing up in America, so no national service then.

[Alex-cwrz]

So in one he is saying that doctors and nurses asking for a pay rise are wrong, yet at the same time his solution for foodbanks is individuals getting higher paying jobs.

[jonathankirk]

Just remember, every time a tory says 'cut taxes' they mean 'cut services'.

[narglefargle]

Wow. This guy has to be even less self-aware than even Boris Johnson. A genuine national embarrassment.

[InnerCityGirl]

The Tories do not give a flying eff about the poor.

[LucasElliot]

The fact we have food banks is INSANE in a country such as ours...very sad times

[doctordeej]

Like a broken record. Out of touch. No empathy. A complete waste of oxygen.

[JackJohnson-lpjr]

He positively HATES the poor. Lol at his face! He's disgusted.

[triplem]

Man sipping a cup of tea whilst bin told there are baby suffering with no regard 🤦🏿

[ShahidKhan-kefe]

Nonchalantly drinks his coffee while someone talks about food banks.

[GordyB]

The guy could literally feed every family dependent on food banks and not even notice a dent in his wealth.
That would be something.

[stuarturquhart]

1200 food banks - Sunak, oh well. Criminal

[CharlieTheCaneCorso]

Makes no sense a multi multi hundred millionaire wants a 130k job

He's obviously in the job for back room dealings and dishonest reasons
