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.

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