I’d already read about this when I saw the footage on TV. I cringed on seeing it. Just a total embarrassment.

LONDON, Dec 24 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced criticism on Saturday for seeming out of touch with ordinary people when he asked a homeless man at a charity whether he "worked in business" and wanted to get into the finance industry.

My sympathies for the homeless whose background we don't actually know. Honestly, could Sunak be more out of touch or more tactless?
