A young Rishi Sunak admitted that he had 'no working class friends' in a dated clip which has recently gone viral on social media. The video, which was taken from a 2001 BBC documentary, has resurfaced after Mr Sunak announced his intentions to run for Prime Minister following the stepping down of Boris Johnson last week.
The ex-Chancellor made the embarrassing remark during the BBC series 'Middle Classes: Their Rise and Sprawl', which has recently came back to light. Sunak's parents were interviewed during the programme, with regards to their decision to send their kids to the prestigious boarding school, Winchester College.
In the clip, Mr Sunak says: "I have friends who are aristocrats, I have friends who are upper class, I have friends who are working class... Well, not working class."
