What should matter to people is getting the person with the clear ability to run the country successfully in good times and bad. Where they came from and how much wealth they have, by themselves, are pretty irrelevant, really.

He paid his own way through Stroud Prep, boarding at Winchester College Private school, for his PPE at Oxford, and his MBA at Stanford, California? (and his £13,000 a month beachfront apartment whilst he was at Stanford).
Impressive…
btw, at the time he was a partner at a Hedge Fund, he was also a Director at his Father-in-law’s* investment firm Catamaran Ventures - I’m sure that had no bearing on the Hedge Fund offering him a position…
I think most people would find it easier to be "self-made" and "get results" if some else paid for them to go to Private School & Oxbridge, gave them a £100,000 interest-free loan to buy a flat in London, then married a billionaire’s daughter…
Just to be clear, I prefer Sunak over Truss (much like I’d prefer a broken arm to an amputation), but let’s not romanticise his past or diminish the advantages he has had to get where he is.
