Rishi Sunak has been caught on camera apparently walking away from a woman who has just started telling him about his daughter’s ordeal waiting for NHS treatment. As she starts to complain, he is looking anxiously over his shoulder at his aide, and then says he needs to get to the next appointment. She then walks with him while he repeats what the government is doing on the NHS. He does not, as the initial clip circulated suggested, walk straight off, but the encounter remains awkward for the Prime Minister as he doesn’t seem to take any interest in the individual case at all. This clip was circulated first:

I can't stand Rishi Sunak, but you could have at least shown the whole clip.
