24 favourite responses to Rishi Sunak’s cringeworthy flipchart-based Economics lesson
On Wednesday, Rishi Sunak decided to explain the economy using a flipchart, like a try-hard middle manager in a meeting that could have been an email.
At less than three minutes, it’s worth watching – purely to appreciate that he really does this. It’s not satire.
Adam Bienkov spotted a hole in his depiction of the economic context.
Rishi Sunak will tonight release a video in which he sets out the "context we found ourselves in" after becoming PM in 2022.
Can anyone else spot the one piece of economic "context" he's left off his chart? pic.twitter.com/IDQF9pIJeX

It’s no real surprise that he didn’t mention Brexit, but what was a surprise was that he drew this incredibly basic picture of a house to represent 2024.
Sunak left an open goal. Labour took its shot.

“Under 30? Well, this is what we call a house…I mean, it’s not one of mine, it’s far, far too small…imagine living in a house as small as…yeah, anyway, take a good hard look because this is what you will never, ever be able to afford” pic.twitter.com/1pE4v09BLl
