Rishi Sunak jokes Team GB won’t take winning tips from him at Paris Olympics

Rishi Sunak opened his first prime minister’s questions as leader of the opposition with a joke about his inability to win.

The former prime minister, who lost a leadership election to Liz Truss, several local elections, and last month’s general election by a huge landslide, sent his best wishes to Team GB athletes heading to the Paris Olympics.

Mr Sunak said: “To be honest, I am probably not the first person they want to hear advice from on how to win.”

The joke was met by laughter from MPs in the Commons.
