Rishi Sunak ‘has electricity network upgraded to heat his private swimming pool’

Rishi Sunak has had the electricity network in his constituency upgraded - so he could heat his private swimming pool. According to a report by The Guardian, the prime minister paid for extra capacity from the National Grid at his own expense to supply his constituency home in Richmond, North Yorkshire.

The paper alleges the engineers installed equipment and a new connection to the Grid that runs across open fields. This comes after he spent thousands of pounds to upgrade the massive property with a new heated pool, gym, and tennis court.
