Rishi Sunak has pledged to fix the last 30 years of "broken" politics and fundamentally reform the UK in a bid to win voters' trust before next year's elections.

But several awkward encounters during his tenure have left voters wondering just how out of touch the millionaire prime minister really is with ordinary Britons.

Alumnus of Goldman Sachs and husband of the daughter of the “Indian Prime Minister”. Steve Jobs", Mr Sunak first entered politics as the MP for Richmond, North Yorkshire, after the 2015 general election.

Under Boris Johnson, Mr Sunak accessed the Treasury. Their union was not to last, however, and the former chancellor's resignation in July last year – kicking off more than 50 government resignations – ultimately toppled Ms. . Johnson.

After a bitterly fought battle for the post of Prime Minister. At the head of the Conservatives, Mr. Sunak was beaten to 10th place by the opponent Liz Truss, whose 45 days as Prime Minister came to an abrupt end – with Mr Sunak taking on the role less than a week later.

During his stays at No. 10 and No. 11 Downing Street, Mr Sunak has managed to accumulate a large catalog of errors.
