In the leadership debate, the mantra of Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak has been that hard work pays. As he said in the latest television head-to-head, his father was a GP and his mother ran her own pharmacy – and they worked “day and night” to build a better future for their children.
Gawd help ’em, if I have seen one chemist or GP in rags, I have seen, well, none actually. Wee Rishi even did medicine deliveries from the shop, probably because the poor were too lazy to pick up their own antidepressants.
He said: “I am standing here because of the hard work, the sacrifice, and love of my parents and the opportunities they provided to me.”
