Big thanks to @RishiSunak’s wife who very kindly brought us tea and biscuits outside his house!
P.S. It was very good tea. pic.twitter.com/VLxasWqf71— Josh Gafson (@JoshGafson1) July 6, 2022
A user asked if Ms Murty was trying to copy Mr Johnson's gesture of serving tea to journalists.
"Tone deaf!!! The price of that mug could feed a family for 2 days!! I would've dropped it," a user tweeted.
"Maybe she should bring put a few cheques to pay some taxes before she brings out tea!!!!!," another user tweeted.
Another tweeted, "Billionaire pretending servant to become the master, oldest scam or ponzi scheme."
Tax hikes and rising living expenses were major reasons for popular dissatisfaction with Boris Johnson's administration. Mr. Sunak, the former Chancellor of the United Kingdom, has come under fire for raising taxes. In addition, he had been attacked by the opposition over Ms Murty's non-domicile tax status.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Ms. Murty, 42, has a net worth of around $1.2 billion because of her interest in Infosys Ltd., established by her father Narayana Murty.
