A 'pumped' Rishi Sunak tried to get schoolchildren enthused about maths today as he stepped up campaigning after another blunder.
The PM was greeted with silence after he asked a group of youngsters in Grimsby whether they were 'excited about the exam'.
The teacher stepped in to smooth over the situation, joking: 'Wrong question.'
When Mr Sunak asked the Year 7 students at the John Whitgift Academy what they wanted to do for jobs, one boy replied: 'Professional snooker player.'
The premier is gearing up for a critical Sky News grilling tonight, insisting he has not given up on the election despite cataclysmic polls.
