How is Sunak making his money an issue by saying, in response to a question, that his healthcare arrangements are private? Are you saying he is not entitled to keep his healthcare arrangements confidential? Would you say the same about a politician sending his/her children to private schools?
There's a clear distinction between Sunak having a right to keep details of his health private and the question of whether he uses private healthcare.
Broadly speaking politicians should be allowed a high level of privacy around their health. The only exceptions I can think of is where a health problem would impair their ability to do that job, in which case they might have to disclose the problem or step back from the job citing unspecified health reasons.
But it's completely reasonable to expect a politician who is managing a public service (health, education etc) to be transparent about how they use that service. It's a basic issue of trust and how much stake they have in the success of that service. It's reasonable for any voter to think somebody who uses a service more will be more compelled to improve it.

That is a killer photo. Absolute murder.
It's a good illustration of why being small is a handicap for politicians. Bigger people can effortlessly look more dominant in social situations.
Why? I see that sunak is leaning forward and as a result Morgan looks more comfortable and powerful. Is that it?
Exactly. Sunak looks like a supplicant getting something from his boss.
Bigger question - why on Earth did No. 10 think to give Piers Morgan an interview? What's the upside?
I've seen suggestions that it's Murdoch-linked. Surely there's better ways of doing that than giving ****** Piers Morgan airtime and your 'brand'?
