Sunak asks homeless man if he ‘works in business’

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has drawn ridicule for asking a homeless man whether he “works in business” before giving him a free hot meal. Sunak, a multi-millionaire former hedge fund manager, made the remark during a visit to a shelter in London.

The PM was filmed at the counter of a soup kitchen run by a charity for vulnerable people in the UK. At one point a young man, reportedly named Dean, asked Sunak whether he was “sorting the economy out.”

“That's exactly what I'm trying to do,” the prime minister said, before asking: “do you work in business?”

“No, I'm homeless, I'm actually a homeless person but I am interested in business,” the man replied.
