Rishi Sunak was mocked today after claiming that he always enjoys a McDonald’s breakfast wrap when out with his daughters, despite the fact that the item has not been available since March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tory leadership candidate was accused of a gaffe during a TV interview in which he was asked what he ordered at a McDonald’s restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Sunak yesterday shared a photo of himself ordering from a self-service machine at a fast food chain while campaigning to replace Boris Johnson as Prime Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former chancellor was asked the ‘killer question’ of what items he had chosen from the McDonald’s menu on ITV’s This Morning this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘I was there around 7.45 or 7.30 in the morning, so it wasn’t a burger and nuggets!’ ‘I got some breakfast,’ Mr Sunak responded. ‘I get the pancakes and a bacon roll with ketchup.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked if he had ordered a hash brown, the Conservative MP replied, ‘I didn’t yesterday, but if I’m with my daughters, we get the wrap.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘With my eldest daughter… if I’m with her, that wrap with the hash brown and everything in it is what we do.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But aficionados of McDonald’s were quick to point out that the breakfast wrap hasn’t been on sale for nearly two-and-a-half years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Morning viewers mocked Mr Sunak for appearing to be unaware that the breakfast wrap was no longer available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One remarked that the politician had told a ‘Big Whopper,’ referring to a popular meal sold by rival chain Burger King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others called Mr Sunak’s remarks “embarrassing” and said it “must have been a long time since he last went” to McDonald’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘He can’t even be honest about what he eats for breakfast,’ said another.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
