In his interview with @PaulBrandITV Rishi Sunak says that he had to
go without “lots of things” as a child growing up, including “Sky TV”.
Will do little to convince voters he can relate.

He fell into that one didn't he.

I think recognising your privilege and explaining why it's not the be and end all, then linking it back to parents wanting to provide the most important things is the way to go.

I wonder to what extent having his level of wealth make him any more out of touch than say Cameron's wealth?

I'd guess growing up Sunak had a fairly average upper middle class lifestyle. School fees were cheaper, his folks relative purchasing power was higher, but that sky comment to me is an actual a little insight.
