Rishi Sunak booed as he visits Greater Manchester constituency with a tiny Tory majority
manchestereveningnews.co.ukThe sun was shining in Burrs Country Park as Rishi Sunak handed out ice cream and cake to the public and press. But despite a warm welcome from locals on his arrival, the Prime Minister was booed from afar as he left The Lamppost cafe in Bury on Friday (May 31).
Mr Sunak appeared jubilant when one young child told him 'we're voting for you' after posing for a photo with the Prime Minister. "Oh, that's very good", he replied, embracing her. "Thank you very much.
