2007 video clip of Rishi Sunak comes back to haunt him

"I have friends who are aristocrats, I have friends who are upper class, I have friends who are working-class…well, not working class."

A resurfaced clip of Rishi Sunak has been making the rounds on social media, and could put to bed claims any suggestion that he is the “people’s candidate”.

The former chancellor signalled his intention to run for Tory leadership after Boris Johnson resigned this week, saying: “Let’s restore trust, rebuild the economy and reunite the country.”

Among those publicly backing Sunak are Commons Leader Mark Spencer, former Tory Party co-chairman Oliver Dowden, former chief whip Mark Harper, ex-ministers Liam Fox and Andrew Murrison, and MPs Sir Bob Neill and Paul Maynard.

Sunak video

The former chancellor released a glossy launch video in which he set out his family history, saying: “Our country faces huge challenges, the most serious for a generation.

“And the decisions we make today will decide whether the next generation of British people will also have the chance of a better future.”

The video has already been set to the Succession theme tune, making for some hilarious viewing:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
