TAKING THE RISH CARRY ON CAMPAIGN

Dan Vevers takes a sideways glance at Sunak's weird, wacky and wince-inducing moments of the past six weeks

THEY say you should start as you mean to go on. One man who may disagree is Rishi Sunak.

On May 22, the PM stood outside No10 to announce the election. What happened next will go down in the annals of history as, well...really, really funny.

As buckets of rain fell on his brollyless head and turned his suit into sodden latex, his words were drowned out by protesters blasting 1997 Labour anthem Things Can Only Get Better by D:Ream over a boombox.

Sadly for Sunak, this was probably the high water mark of his campaign. What followed was an incredible disasterclass.

Next up, the PM went to Wales to ask voters if they were looking forward to the Euros which Wales hadn't qualified for. The clanger was so loud it could be heard in space.

The day after that, someone had the bright idea for Sunak to campaign in Belfast's Titanic Quarter.
