Not long after making the Sunday Times Rich List, it’s now been revealed Chancellor Rishi Sunak has splashed £0.5 million on focus groups to “repair his image”.
Treasury contracts show researchers have been hired to conduct two focus groups and a national online poll every week until February next year, with Labour claiming the total cost will hit more than £1.35 million.
And it comes just days after Mr Sunak told MPs that “trying to borrow and spend our way” out of the cost of living crisis is “the wrong approach”, with the government taking a “careful, deliberate approach” instead.
Now that's what I call money well spent.
