Politics election Question Time Rishi Sunak
Rishi Sunak’s response to this woman on Question Time spoke volumes (and she had the perfect final word)
It’s fair to say it didn’t go entirely well for Rishi Sunak on BBC1’s Question Time election special on Thursday night. So no change there, then.
But one moment in particular seemed for many people to capture the real man behind the politician’s facade, the beleaguered PM’s response to this woman who asked about Sunak’s Rwanda policy and willingness to leave the European Court of Human Rights.
And his response – not just what he said but the way he said it – made for a particularly interesting watch.
1 minute clip sums up Sunak.
Rude, arrogant, petulant & lying in a potential voters faces.
He accuses a lady of not wanting to deport illegal immigrants when she’d merely asked whether he wants to leave ECHR.
Lady ️He put words in my mouth
Watch him #bbcqt #bbcdebate pic.twitter.com/QQvz9zDDDT

She was on point and put her point eloquently. Sunak was being very aggressive towards her.

to this audience member for summing up the Rwanda scheme succinctly to Sunak’s face. “Let’s be honest – it’s devoid of strategic thinking and inhumane.” #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/yxqz4wgVBz

@RishiSunak seems to think that shouting at and belittling voters live on national TV is the way to go

It was on display tonight for all to see and frankly, when the mask slips, it reveals something truly unpleasant underneath it

Whoever trained Sunak for this #bbcqt session should be sacked – he’s totally lost it. So aggressive. So rude. This audience shouting “shame” gives me hope

Last word to the audience member, @HollandLateisha herself!
I did not expect the Prime Minister to respond to me in such a manner, I am well within my right to add critique. To also put words in my mouth as well. Shame indeed. #bbcqt https://t.co/7U4wVfYLCe

You, and the man who backed your point up, really got him to show his true colours. And they were nasty.

Thank you I’m glad I managed to get the last word in, because he was trying to paint a certain narrative about my viewpoint towards the end.
