(PS: Rishi's pa-in-law spells his last name with an h, as in Murthy; his ma-in-law, like daughter Akshata and son Rohan skip the h, as in Murty). Photograph: Kind courtesy @narendramodi/X

Rishi should have attended a Lok Sabha/Rajya Sabha session to experience how different it is from the House of Commons, especially when he jousted with Keir Starmer at prime minister questions every Wednesday. Photograph: ANI Photo
