Back in June, gabyhinsliff interviewed RishiSunak for Grazia - as he launches his leadership campaign, we revisit what he had to say
Rishi Sunak has shed his immaculately cut jacket, and pushed the sleeves of his gleaming white shirt up a fraction. When we speak, the Chancellor is visiting a factory near the former colliery town of Spennymoor in County Durham, and this is about as unbuttoned as things get.
‘One of the reasons I was so reluctant to have a third kid was I wouldn’t be able to repeat that experience, and that was really important to me. That was a really special time for me, and I loved it.’ Is he feeling broody? ‘I was at a constituency thing last week, and there was a lovely little one-year-old girl who I carrie around with me during this visit. It was the first time in a while I felt, “Oh, that would be nice again,”’ he confesses.
He was sent to fee-paying Winchester College and says that, for his parents, ‘everything was secondary’ to education. Sunak’s own daughters have grown up wealthy, but he says he and his wife warn them against taking their privilege for granted; they’re expected to do chores at home, including walking the dog.
