Watch Prime Minister Rishi Sunak being heckled over heating bill during visit to Eden Project Morecambe site

The PM was in town following Wenesday’s announcement confirming the £50m government cash injection needed to make Eden Project Morecambe a reality.

Mr Sunak was joined on his visit by Minister for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Michael Gove.

Morecambe MP David Morris accompanied the pair as they took a stroll along the promenade to take a look at the Eden Project Morecambe site on land that once housed the Bubbles leisure complex.

One passer-by shouted: “Lend us 20 quid for my heating bill, Rishi.”

The Prime Minister did not respond to the shout and it was not clear if he heard.

The party also paid a visit to Morecambe’s iconic Midland hotel.

Following his visit to the site, Mr Sunak addressed business leaders and representatives about Eden Project Morecambe at The Platform entertainment venue.
