Rishi Sunak's Social Media Blunder Captivates Attention

Rishi Sunak's recent visit to a Currys distribution center turned into a social media blunder when he made a mistake in his caption.

Despite the ongoing Labour party conference in Liverpool, the prime minister chose to visit the East Midlands, deviating from the usual practice of political parties avoiding major attention during their rivals' conferences.

During his visit to Currys' national distribution center, Sunak took to social media to celebrate the occasion, stating, "Enjoyed chatting with @currys staff in Nottingham about the long-term decisions I'm taking to build a brighter future."

However, it appears that Sunak made a geographical blunder. According to No.10's official account, he was actually in Newark, which is around 20 miles away from Nottingham.

Although some users added comments to Sunak's post, clarifying that he was not in Nottingham but in the nearby village of Coddington, technically falling under the district council of Newark and Sherwood.

Currys also reposted Sunak's post and emphasized that the open forum took place in Newark, where their industry-leading Repair Centre is located.

Not only did Sunak make a geographical blunder, but he also misspoke about the location during his speech. While discussing the decision to scrap HS2 between Birmingham and Manchester, he mistakenly referred to the West Midlands, whereas he was actually in the East Midlands.
