Sunak vows he WILL tackle ‘unacceptable’ accommodation for hero veterans after being grilled by Sun Cabinet
RISHI Sunak faced Sun readers this Wednesday in a no-holds-barred grilling.
The PM was quizzed by Political Editor Harry Cole — two weeks after Sir Keir Starmer's appearance on our Never Mind the Ballots show
And he answered YOUR questions:
Are your trousers too short?
When asked why he wears his trousers up to two inches too short, he laughed: "Well I don't think they are that short."
Pushed on whether he thought his style was trendy or the latest style, he added: "I tend not to like lots of baggy, baggy stuff at the bottom of my ankle. I don't think they are that short."
What is your Wetherspoons order?
The PM was also asked when he last went to one of the nation's favourite pub chains Wetherspoons.
He said: "I was in Wetherspoons actually not that long ago. I think it was in Rother Valley actually… doing one of my events talking to everyone there in the local community.
"We have a Wetherspoons at home in Northallerton which is fantastic."
When asked what his go-to order is, he said: "Well, actually I used to go there with my kids in the old days when I had more time.
"We used to do the junior Park Run, from memory. But we'd go there for breakfast more than anything else, cos I used to like the breakfasts there. I think I probably still have the app on my phone."
Do your daughters have a smartphone?
He revealed that his two girls Krishna and Anoushka both got phones as they came to the end of their time at Primary School.
But both the PM and his wife Akshata discuss how to "juggle" about the right thing to do with their time on the devices.
When asked whether the girls have smartphones, he said: "Yeah. I have two girls 11 and 12, about to be 13, who thankfully probably won't be watching this.
"They do both have phones. And they got them near the end of Primary School.
"I talked to my wife about this a lot. And we're trying to juggle that like all parents are. I'm forming my views about what the right to do with my wife."
His comments come as some of his MPs are demanding an outright ban on smartphones for under-16s.
The mum of murdered teenager Brianna Ghey demands mobile phones should be made specifically for under-16s to protect them.
Brianna was stabbed 28 times in February last year and was described as anxious and vulnerable - with her family insisting this was partly due to the time with her phone.
The PM added: "I think we certainly need to be very cognisant of the impact that social media is having on young people.
"You seen the rise in mental health. And there's not a definitive link. But there's lots of people saying you need to be careful about this.
"Obviously it's distracting at schools which is why we've been much clearer now that people should not be having mobile phones in schools obviously."
Cabinet Minister Michelle Donelan said the recent online safety laws "ensures the online safety of British society not only now, but for decades to come".
