UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak woke up early on Tuesday to deliver McDonalds breakfast orders to UK residents as part of last-minute efforts to woo voters in the national elections scheduled for Thursday, July 4.

Katherine Forster, a UK citizen, was surprised to receive her egg muffin order delivered by Mr Sunak who was beaming with a wide smile at 6:20 a.m. on Tuesday.

Ms Forster posted her brief encounter with the British PM on X where Mr Sunak was criticised for using devious methods to sway voters less than 48 hours before election day.

“Had probably hundreds of McDonalds breakfasts in my life….not usually handed out by the Prime Minister though. 6.20am. Egg muffin. Wrap for him,” Ms Forster wrote on X.

But instead of appealing to voters, Mr Sunak’s act appeared to further piss off voters who described him “as training for his next job.”

“Buying votes with McDonalds?” X user @mews48 queried. “Why not buy votes with NHS funding, school repairs, prosecutions of water boards dumping Tory policies in rivers and on beaches?”

“He’s desperate for votes,” user @DavidGr41730916 wrote in reply to Ms Forster’s tweet.

While @twitlegit1 said “@RishiSunak preparing for his new job on Friday, @McDonalds delighted to have a new to promote their food, even gave them advice on tax avoidance.”

X user @RogerBurston wrote “He (Mr Sunak) wouldn’t vote for free school meals for the vulnerable but is happy to hand out burgers for votes.”

@Paulgodden01 wrote “This reminds me of when Boris came out with fresh tea for reporters outside his house, not that it helped him much.”

Polls have not been favourable to Mr Sunak as the most recent, Survation, predicted a landslide victory for Keir Starmer’s Labour Party as against Mr Sunak’s Conservative Party which has led the House of Commons for the past 14 years. 

Pundits think Mr Sunak’s Conservative Party may only clinch predicted 64 of 650 seats while Labour Party was projected to get 484 seats.

Mr Sunak’s 18-month-stint as Prime Minister was characterised by an economic crisis, leading the majority of UK citizens to place their faith in opposition leader, Mr Starmer.
