ALL THAT GLITTERS : THE UK’S MULTI-MILLIONAIRE CHANCELLOR, inheritance millionaire and lucky in love man of the people, Rishi Sunak, has hit back at claims he doesn’t know the cost of everyday items for hardworking British men and women.
Earlier this week in an interview with lifestyle magazine ‘Silver Spoons’ the Chancellor appeared to suggest that milk was £200 a pint leading to criticism that he is “out of touch”. Mr Sunak isn’t having that and after an extended session with his personal stylist he emerged with both fists clenched.
“Only an idiot would claim that milk costs £200 a pint,” Mr Sunak beamed to camera, his shoulders pleasingly squared by a Saville Row tailor and his smile fixed to the point of pain.
But not everyone is buying it after close analysis of one of the Chancellor’s daily press photos revealed a glass of liquid gold in the background. Expert analysis suggests that maybe Mr Sunak’s milk does actually cost £200 a pint?
Defenders of the man most likely to replace Liz Truss as Britain’s PM after the next scoffed at the claims.
“Mr Sunak doesn’t dirty his mind with knowing how much his Wagu Milk with Precious Metal Flavour costs. Such comments are beneath the dignity of a man who struggled out of obscurity to be the most photographed Chancellor the UK has ever had. Now, let’s focus on the real issues, the upcoming cut to VAT on begging bowls for children under 10. Means tested of course.”
And there is some substance to Mr Sunak’s clarification. Analysis of his plans to help with the cost of living crisis, he’s helping to cause, reveal so much inflation coming down the line milk will become a luxury item.
“He’s titled his plan – The Plebs Are F*cked – so he’s not wrong. He’s right. Economically very far right. He’s a Brexiter don’t you know. So he’s hasn’t got a clue mate. Good luck.”
