Who cares that Rishi Sunak makes his own bed?

Mr and Mrs Sunak of Downing Street have given a joint interview to Grazia magazine in which they give answers to the most pressing questions facing the country. They don’t bother sweating the small stuff like the state of the economy, the upcoming Budget, or the election prospects of the beleaguered Tories, but instead share their carefully considered thoughts on dividing up the household chores.

Akshata Murty gushes that Rishi’s ‘special skill’ is tidying the bedroom. Rishi is not to be outdone when it comes to spilling the secrets of their home life. He confesses to breaking away from his day job (just the small matter of running the country, lest we forget) to go upstairs to the Downing Street flat and make the bed because of his wife’s habit of leaving it in a mess. Indeed (and make of this what you will) the most urgent question on Sunak’s mind most days appears to be whether his wife has made the bed properly.
