Dean explained that he was "homeless" but said he was "interested in business".

That perked Sunak up who said he "used to work in finance" and said jobs in finance were now spreading across the UK and not just concentrated in London.

"Is that something you'd like to get in to?" Sunak asked Dean.

"I wouldn't mind," Dean said, adding: "I'd like to get through Christmas first".

Sunak then asked Dean what his Christmas plans were, to which Dean said he was hoping to find temporary accommodation to get him off the streets.

It is a simple and fundamental principle that the government derives its democratic legitimacy from the people. The future of the country must not be decided by plotting and U-turns at Westminster; it must be decided by the people in a general election.
