Rishi Sunak attempting to buy something is the funniest 2 seconds you’ll spend today
Say what you like about Rishi Sunak – please – but this clip of him attempting to act like me or thee by buying something in a petrol station is a strong contender for the funniest 2 seconds you’ll spend today.
The unimaginably wealthy Chancellor was doing his man of the people act on Wednesday after his mini budget that was widely criticised for not doing more to help people in the cost of living crisis.
And it’s fair to say it didn’t go entirely well.
Say what you like about Rishi, he does a cracking impression of a billionaire who has never been in a shop before. pic.twitter.com/Yd6Hu07llP

So short, and yet so rich. Not unlike the Chancellor himself.
The clip went wildly viral on Twitter and here are our favourites of the many, many things people said about it.

He looks like he’s buying the debit card and paying for it with a can of Coke. Much the same as I feel filling up with petrol and paying for it with the car 😭

Shoutout to the mega-rich Chancellor of the Exchequer for not knowing how us common folk actually pay for stuff in actual shops pic.twitter.com/zOC8StCuXf
