Why do they pretend that their upbringing was worse than it was! We see right through you! A more compassionate answer would’ve been ‘look, my parents worked hard & I was fortunate to have a warm house & food on the table & I want to make sure every child in the UK has that too’ https://t.co/kwXpUkufJm

I mean, I’m a 100 years old & our tv was black & white & I was SHOOK when I found out the Clangers were pink & not grey but bailing on International D-Day celebrations to do a political interview where going without Sky is YOUR sacrifice is so much what the fuck I can’t even.

Just own who you are. If you didn’t go without just say, “I want that security for everyone”, the fact you didn’t get The Simpsons until the mid 90s isn’t a hardship. (I’d like to thank Katrina who lived around the corner and used to tape it for us). https://t.co/OJ9eWjFBEN

The Guardian’s John Crace nails it.
We all know Rishi doesn’t really want to be PM. But the lengths he is going to prove it are super human

At least it can’t get any worse. Unless …
Someone at SKY is going to find the Sunak family’s TV account details from Rishi’s childhood, aren’t they?

Very much this.
I suspect this clip will come to define Rishi Sunak’s premiership. https://t.co/5tPYhwj7Zz

And this.
He didn’t see the obvious trap coming, walked right into it – and oh dear.
Feigning that he’s been one of the children in this country who really suffered, because he went without Sky TV, is not just a faux pas – it’s offensive.pic.twitter.com/bq0zb4mp3v
