Mr. Sunak visited a London homeless shelter managed by The Passage on Friday and lauded the organization’s “excellent” work during the holiday season.

Angela Rayner, the deputy leader of the Labour Party, described Rishi Sunak’s visit to a homeless shelter as “excruciating” because he questioned a homeless guy if he works in business.

Mr. Sunak visited the London homeless shelter run by The Passage on Friday and commended the institution’s “excellent” work throughout the holiday season.

A homeless man named Dean was served a full English breakfast by the Prime Minister, who volunteered behind the counter to assist with serving hot meals.

The subsequent dialogue ensued.

After a brief introduction, Dean inquired of the Prime Minister, “Are you stabilizing the economy?”

The prime minister said, “That is just what I intend to do.”

After Dean stated that stabilizing the economy would be beneficial to business, Mr. Sunak inquired, “Do you own… do you work in a business?”

Dean responded, “I am homeless.” I am a homeless person. However, I am keen on the business.”

The prime minister said, “Yes? What kind of enterprise?”

Dean said, “I enjoy finance because it’s excellent for the city, and when finance and other things are doing well, we all do well in London, don’t we?”

Mr. Sunak went on to tell Dean that he “used to work in finance” and that employment in finance is now available “throughout the UK.

Dean said, “Like law associations and similar matters?”

The PM then asks, “Is that something you’re interested in pursuing?”

Dean answers, “I wouldn’t mind, but I’d rather get through Christmas first.”

Mr. Sunak then inquires about Dean’s weekend plans.

He responded, “I have no idea, but I’m hoping St. Mungo’s can help me find temporary housing so I’m not on the street.”

Reposting the video of Mr. Sunak’s chat with Dean, Ms. Rayner described the dialogue as “excruciating.”

Lisa Nandy, the shadow leveling up secretary, remarked, “How out of touch could this prime minister be?”

Homelessness is on the rise this winter as a result of the Tory economic collapse, which caused mortgages and rents to surge.” So perhaps Rishi Sunak should concentrate on resolving this situation rather than posing for painful photographs.

“The previous Labour administration came close to eliminating rough sleeping; the next one will finish the job and eradicate it for good.”

Jo Stevens, the shadow secretary for Wales, continued, “He has no idea.”
