Christmas comes early for Sunak as he admits playing festive tunes in November

Prime minister said his family and friends were so annoyed by the habit he was forced to listen in private

Rishi Sunak said that he started listening to Christmas music two weeks ago but that the move prompted so much fury from his friends and family that he resorted to enjoying the tunes in private.

The prime minister, who is a fan of Michael Buble's Christmas hits and listens to the songs when he works late, talked about his enthusiasm for the festive season en route to the Cop28 summit in Dubai.
