British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak appeared self-deprecating after his performance in the pouring rain. He has not yet had pneumonia, but he cannot say anything about the condition of his suit at the moment, he joked on Saturday.
“It was wet. Many people have offered me an umbrella in recent days,” said the British Prime Minister. Nevertheless, the decision to hold the general election outside on July 4 was the right one. “When the time comes, that’s what you does. This is our tradition (…). You call an election and go out.’
Here you see a front page with the pun ‘Drowning Street’.
Symbolic appearance
Sunak held the general election in the open air outside government headquarters at 10 Downing Street on Wednesday and got soaked. Because he has poor opinion polls, the appearance was seen as symbolic. The next day, newspaper headlines ran with puns like “Drowning Street,” and photos and videos circulated on social media.
However, a later appearance by British opposition leader Keir Starmer of the Labor Party in front of the Union Jack flags on dry land was seen as statesmanlike.
