Rishi Sunak said Labour would tax anything people could think of and this fabulous two-word response soared above all the rest

The election is nearly upon us and Rishi Sunak continues to prove people wrong. Those people, that is, who suggest his worst campaign that anyone can remember surely can’t get any worse.

The PM at the time of writing’s latest own goal came on Twitter where he – or someone working for him – thought it would be a good idea to tweet this.

You name it, Labour will tax it.

And there was no end of very funny and totally on-point replies.

Rishi we have the highest taxes in generations because of you and the conservatives….

Great attack line
You are aware that polling shows twice as many people would be happy paying more tax than not to maintain public services – or aren’t you.
Given the public think you are completely out of touch this is just further proof

You name it, Conservatives broke it.

You’ve broken our NHS, our public services, our economy, our schools, our railways, our rivers, our roads, our universities, our high streets.

I have to say every time I see one of your pathetic posts you make me want to vote for labour even more

But one soared above all the rest.

Boom!

And just in case you needed reminding, the personal wealth of Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty was up £122m last year, according to the Sunday Times Rich List. Their family fortune was estimated at £651m, up from £529m in 2023.

Brilliant! Tweet of the election
