So that’s what he’s good at..

PM can’t run country... but can make a bed, apparently

READERS of a sensitive dispositio­n should look away now. We are about to reveal PM Rishi Sunak’s bedroom secrets.

It seems his wife Akshata Murty fails to keep him happy in that department… by not making the bed.

The multi-millionair­e couple discussed sharing the household chores in a toe-curling video.

Mr Sunak told how he would often take a break from work and return to the Downing Street flat to make sure the bed was made properly.

Asked by Grazia who was most likely to make the bed, Ms Murty said “definitely Rishi”, excusing herself by saying she was “not a morning person”.

Her husband said: “That is not your strong point. But you also just don’t like making the bed. It bugs me, so I actually sometimes come up back into the flat from the office after we’ve all left to make the bed because I’ll be irritated if it’s not made.”

His wife called it “one of his special skills”. She said: “Rishi likes to have it done tidy.”

Ms Murty, who met her husband at university, said:

“When we were studying, I used to eat in my bed... there would be plates in my bed.” Mr Sunak branded the habit “disgusting”. He also said he was better at loading the dishwasher, saying it needed “redoing” if she did it. Ms Murty conceded her husband was “the better cook”. Modest Mr Sunak said: “It’s mainly just breakfast on a Saturday.” He admitted his wife read more than him, saying: “I’m too exhausted when I get home, so I watch an episode of Friends and then go to bed.” Meanwhile, Labour peer Peter Mandelson said Mr Sunak’s “skinny suits” “diminish him”. But he also said: “Keir Starmer needs to shed a few pounds.”
