Saw a bit of this in BBC Breakfast
Sunak talking some twaddle, with a backdrop of bored looking workers behind him.
Looked a bit like a hostage video!
Embarrassing. I guess their bosses made them appear, I doubt many will vote Tory.
Then he was asked questions by some Tory councillors posing as employees…
Why would any company demean themselves, why be party to that..

Later, Sunak appeared in Barry, south Wales, where he asked people in a brewery if “all the football” of the Euros would be good for revenue. It was quickly pointed out to him that Wales had not qualified for the tournament.

I don't know, never blame malice for what can easily be explained by stupidity.
I can't imagine Rishi's the kind of bloke who watches the footy religiously (aren't they all Cricket mad up in Yorkshire).
Fair enough about the football, but that's part of a series of cock ups and even by this lots low standards is going some.I can't imagine Rishi's the kind of bloke who watches the footy religiously (aren't they all Cricket mad up in Yorkshire).

How do you know a politician is lying?
Their lips are moving.

I regret to inform you looking comfortable in factories is not a prerequisite of a statesman...but IKWYM. 
Wider point I suppose is what do you expect them to do in an election? They have to be seen to be out & about, the problem for Sunak's advisors is he is so visibly dislocated when prised from his private jets & plonked into the midst of the plebs. They really should be thinking hard about this stuff & it's not as if it's a surprise to anyone.

Perhaps his advisors should spend time with him, they cover pr training, how to answers questions without answering them etc. Maybe they should do some 'how to look normal in public' training.

So while I can't stand the man let us be honest he is well educated and intelligent. How hard is it to know a little about football if your going to make a comment. Sure he has a lot going on but get your PR team to brief you on the light stuff. An also why not say your not a huge fan but like watching England Wales Scotland etc play.
John major I recall was honest and said he liked cricket

Sunak's public gaffes remind me of those "just ask Zoopla" adverts where there's a pause in conversation and someone says "What did you pay for it anyway?"; cue embarrassed silence.
My advice to him would be to appear boring, serious and, ideally, resemble a statesman. For example, when he gave his speech about the infected blood inquiry the other day, he actually came across as genuine and sincere. Footie loving man of the people, shaking hands with blokes clad in hi-vis jackets? No one is fooled Rishi, sorry.
