The UK's Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, was branded "disconnected" from ordinary people when he engaged in a conversation with a homeless man at the Passage On Friday shelter in London, local sources reported on Friday.

In a video widely published on social media, the prime minister is seen asking the homeless man, named Dean, whether he "worked in business" and wanted to get a job in the industry.

"Do you work in business?" Sunak is heard asking.

"No, I'm homeless. I'm actually a homeless person," Dean replied.
