It's Rishi BOO nak

PRIME MINISTER HECKLED IN STREET BEFORE VOTERS QUESTION HIS CLAIMS OVER LEVELLING UP

RISHI Sunak was booed by members of the public on the day he said the government is making 'great progress' in 'levelling up' the country.

And when the M.E.N. asked voters in a Conservative constituency which the prime minister visited in Greater Manchester yesterday, hardly anyone agreed.

Mr Sunak spent the morning in Stockport where he met party members and local activists at a cafe in Marple.

The PM was greeted by Paul Athans, the Conservative candidate who hopes to become the next Tory MP for Hazel Grove when incumbent William Wragg stands down, before answering questions about the economy, the Ukraine war and the conflict in the Middle East.

But following the warm reception inside La Dolce Vita Restaurant on Stockport Road, the prime minister was heckled and booed by members of the public when he stepped outside. Several people stood on the other side of the road booed and shouted 'resign' as he left the cafe.

The PM went on to visit Altrincham Market where he met Sir Graham Brady, the local Conservative MP, before walking around the town and speaking to the public.
