Rishi Sunak just got a phone-in caller’s name wrong in the funniest way possible and we can’t stop watching

Another day, another Rishi Sunak political masterclass, this time when he decided to talk to the people direct on Nick Ferrari’s LBC breakfast show.

What could possibly go wrong, you might think?

Well, he could get the name of the phone-in caller right for a start. And the PM (at the time of writing) didn’t just get it wrong, he got it wrong in the funniest way possible.

“The next caller Louise, is in the Rhondda Valley and you’re through to the Prime Minister, go ahead Louise.”

“Good morning Prime Minister.”

Has there ever been a PM less fit to be PM? Don’t answer that, Liz Truss.

An AI bot would be a more convincing human.

Tory psychosis, a brief timeline:-

2019: “No one can be worse than May”.

2022: “No one can be worse than Johnson.”

Also 2022: “No one can be worse than Truss.”

2024: “HI RHONDA!” https://t.co/GvtjmoGpzT

Surprised he didn’t actually say Rwanda instead of Rhondda as it’s all he thinks about every single minute of the day

Rishi Sunak clearly demonstrates the amount of attention he gives to the people of Wales

And if you’re thinking it immediately reminded people of a certain local radio DJ and primetime BBC1 magazine show presenter, you’d be absolutely right.
