homeless person: ‘Do you work in business?’ – video<br>

Rishi Sunak has been criticised over an awkward exchange with a homeless

person while volunteering at a soup kitchen in front of television

cameras.<br><br>

The prime minister visited a shelter on Friday, where after a brief

exchange he asked the man whether he worked in business. The man replied

that he was homeless. Sunak then discussed his background in the finance

industry and asked if it would be something the man would “like to get in

to”.<br><br>

The man replied: “I wouldn’t mind, but I don’t know, I’d like to get

through Christmas first.”<br><br>

He explained that he hoped a charity would find him some temporary

accommodation so he was not on the street for Christmas.<br><br>

Labour’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, described the exchange as

excruciating, and the Labour MP Stella Creasy said: “Watching this I am

concerned that the prime minister thinks homeless means ‘doesn’t have a

country pile at the moment’.”<br><br>

Sunak used the trip to outline that the government had pledged Ł2bn to

tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over three years.<br><br>
