Rishi Sunakās election campaign has been hit by another blunder after he released a video featuring a voter who said he came ācloseā to hitting him.
The prime minister yesterday made the surprise announcement that the general election would be held on July 4.
A slick promotional video published on X by Sunak, showed him delivering the speech in Downing Street and meeting voters across the country.
One member of the public Sunak is pictured with is Josef Schindler, in Altrincham market, on January 6.
Schindler posted a photograph of him and the prime minister on Facebook at the time.
In the comments below the post, Schindler was told: āYou do look like youāre going to clobber him.ā
He reacted with a laughing emoji and replied simply: ācloseā.

Sunakās snap election campaign got off to a disastrous start after he was drenched by the rain as he made the announcement in Downing Street.
His speech was also disrupted by Labour Party anthem āThings Can Only Get Betterā being played by protesters nearby.
The shambolic opening to the campaign was headlined āthings can only get wetterā by the even the Conservative supporting Daily Telegraph.
In an interview with BBC Radio 4ā²s Today programme, Sunak said he was the āfirst to admit that it was a bit wetā.
Sunakās first campaign event yesterday evening was also overshadowed when security manhandled a Sky News presenter out of the building.
