British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced criticism on Saturday for seeming out of touch with ordinary people when he asked a homeless man at a charity whether he "worked in business" and wanted to get into the finance industry. the prime minister asks the man at one point during the conversation, as he hands him a plate of sausages, toast and eggs. The prime minister this week made surprise phone calls to British diplomats and military personnel around the world to give them Christmas wishes, his office said on Friday. His awkward exchange with the homeless man began when the man asks Sunak if he's "sorting the economy out". When the homeless man then says he is interested in business and finance, Sunak replies that he used to work in finance too, before asking: "Is that something you would like to get into?"
