As he said in the latest television head-to-head, his father was a GP and his mother ran her own pharmacy - and they worked "day and night" to build a better future for their children.
Gawd help 'em, if I have seen one chemist or GP in rags, I have seen, well, none actually.
Wee Rishi even did medicine deliveries from the shop, probably because the poor were too lazy to pick up their own antidepressants.
He said: "I am standing here because of the hard work, the sacrifice, and love of my parents and the opportunities they provided to me." Ergo if you are not a millionaire, it was because your parents were lazy, they didn't love you, nor did they provide you with enough aspiration.
That's why Rishi can afford a three grand suit and you are shopping in Primark. Simples.
This may be confusing news to those of you juggling two jobs to barely survive or if you are say a nurse, who has been sweating through 12 hour shifts during the pandemic.
