Rishi’s mega-rich – let’s get over it!

WE MUST face facts. The new prime minister is stonkingly wealthy. The Sunaks’ family money is self-made. It’s wrong for us to encourage them to playact that they’re financially in the same boat as the rest of us, shunning pricey clothes or disguising the fact their daughters are privately educated.

We expected that of some previous rich PMs but it’s time to accept that it’s OK to look rich so long as you get the job done.

Since Rishi Sunak became prime minister, his wife has kept out of the spotlight. But when she is seen in public, she shouldn’t feel she should appear head-totoe in M&S or Zara – in the way wealthy Saudi women fling off their burka in the privacy of their home and put on Chanel and Valentino.

The Sunaks are multibillionaire rich.

Let’s get over it.
