British player turned pundit Gary Neville is known for his critical approach while talking about the current prime minister of the United Kingdom. Recently Rishi Sunak took to the social media platform X to voice his support for Luke Humphries after his victory over Luke Littler in the World Darts Championship final.

However, it did not go down well with the Manchester United legend. He reacted with a series of laughing emojis and sarcastically hinted at his dislike of Sunak’s policies. The Prime Minister from the Conservative Party praised Humphries, known as ‘Cool Hand Luke’, marking his first World Championship triumph.

The Member Of Parliament from Richmond, Yorkshire, appreciated both the players, expressing his belief in their future as sports leaders. But Nevill’s response to this did not sit well with the netizens and Twitter users who in turn just started trolling the former United player.

Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak recently made the headlines in football by appearing at Southampton’s game. He was unfortunately met with a displeased response from manager Russell Martin.

Gary Neville had earlier had a go at Rishi Sunak’s political ideologies, expressing his voice against the Conservative politician. To this, he had generated a response where he was asked to ‘stick to football’ as his job as a pundit specifies.

While many fans called out Gary Neville for his cryptic, untimely, tweet. The former United player would like to defer as he has his own ‘brawl’ going with the UK PM. Rishi Sunak rebuked football pundit Neville for commenting on low pay and working conditions, telling him to ‘stick to football’.

Neville, a vocal critic of the Conservative government, accused the UK government of ‘demonizing’ striking NHS and rail workers during ITV’s World Cup final coverage in Qatar. Sunak defended his government’s support for the NHS, emphasizing the pandemic-era public sector pay freeze. 

If Rishi Sunak was a footballer he’d be playing for Tottenham. He looks good but when the going gets tough he does one.

Meanwhile, Gary Neville has continued his critique of the Conservatives and Rishi Sunak as he expressed a ‘sarcastic’ desire ahead of 2024.

A Labor Party member, Neville used social media to aim a humorous dig at Sunak as his governmental policies were announced, including changes to international student visas ahead of the UK general elections.

The ongoing public exchange between the football pundit and the Prime Minister highlights the blending of sports, politics, and social media in the current political discourse.
