Taking to Facebook, Sunak has been back in the black and gold of Wensleydale recently, celebrating their recent promotion:

“Thanks for the lift, Wensleydale RUFC! Great to catch up after a history-making promotion to the top division and with the Wensleydale Heifers in their first ever season. Hope everyone is having a good Easter holiday wherever you are.”
