Rishi Sunak is ‘Unai Emery’ of politics, says David Cameron

David Cameron believes Rishi Sunak is the “Unai Emery” of politics.

Speaking to LBC on Monday 15 April, the foreign secretary likened the prime minister to the Aston Villa manager following a 2-0 upset win against Arsenal.

Host Nick Ferrari initially compared Mr Sunak to Erik ten Hag, before Lord Cameron offered a different comparison.

“I prefer to point to the example of Unai Emery for Villa yesterday, who looked like they were on a losing run against Arsenal and then in the last few minutes, slotted in two [goals],” he said.

“Anything is possible in football, as in politics.”
