Nick Robinson compared Rishi Sunak to a scrounger in a pub and the seething glare said it all
For half an hour on Monday night, Rishi Sunak veered wildly between the dictionary definition of seething and a deer in the headlights as he was pulled to bits by interviewer Nick Robinson.
Not sure I’ve enjoyed anything much more than Nick Robinson dragging his metaphorical nutsack across the sneering chops of Rishi Sunak.
This is absolute decimation.
Look at his face! He’s literally seething!#panorama pic.twitter.com/49qkLFHo1J

His performance was every bit as underwhelming as the rest of his campaign has been. Here are a few comments that paint an accurate picture.
So relieved that I managed to avoid coming across like an arrogant, petulant little shit. #panorama

After watching Sunak's interview by Nick Robinson
I've concluded the only difference between Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, is that one combs their hair and the other doesn't

If you can get past his patronising, entitled and angry tone and listen to what Sunak is actually saying the substance is… also patronising, entitled and angry #panorama

I see why Sunak hasn’t done any interviews, he wanted to save up his uselessness for one big performance

Nick Robinson’s BBC interview with Rishi Sunak showcases the hapless PM as totally divorced from the truth. Suffice to say that if Sunak was put in charge of a whelk stall, he would say he was selling lobster thermidor

After years of gentle handling by the BBC, it clearly came as a shock to him to be held to account. Watch his reaction to this brutally accurate analogy.
Nick Robinson, "You sound to me like a guy in a pub who borrows £50 three years ago. And you keep saying, dont worry I'll pay you back. And then when you confront him in the pub, he says, I'll pay you tomorrow. You wouldn't believe him, would you?"

Athough Sunak probably thinks fifty quid is the price of a pint of milk, his face illustrated perfectly that he knew he wasn’t getting his usual kid glove treatment and couldn’t understand why.
The internet had some thoughts.

The look on Sunak’s face is almost funny. The further he sinks into this interview, the less will he has to fight back with empty rhetoric.
This is how interviews should be done – not just with Sunak, with all of them.

Great that the British media found their confidence after the Tories spent 14 years destroying the country. Could've used some of this a few years back. Now that Sunak is politically done they're all happy challenging him.

Nick Robinson looks like a man who knows he is about to be freed from bootlicking serfdom, is, in fact, already free, because the UK has turned on the BBC's puppet masters.
Out from under the yoke at last. You can taste it, can't you… https://t.co/ZYaZIKs6ez

The look from Sunak sums him up. Utter disdain. "How dare you question me?". He wears his contempt on his sleeve – he can't hide it. The sooner he's out of our lives, the better…

Neil Walsh put the cherry on the cake.
To continue that analogy, the sort of guy who, when you're finally done and demand that money back, has the nerve to take offense and say, "You're all about the money, aren't you?"
