Not directly Sunak’s choice, but Sunak has explained that his early morning fitness regime involves either a treadmill, Peloton or some gym class. He says he hates running outside. In 2021 on a podcast he revealed that his favourite were Peloton bike workout videos by Cody Rigsby. One of Rigsby’s trademark moves is to ask the people in the class to picture themselves as Britney acting out the bit in the Toxic video wear she is moving through lasers wearing a red wig. Sunak described Rigsby’s penchant for Spears as “no bad thing in trying to get you motivated”. 6) He needs to work out because of his muffin habit If we decided to stay indoors every time it rained, it’s likely our children would never see the light of day. We’re far better off getting wrapped up and embracing the British weather, and that means kitting out your youngsters in some appropriate threads. I now have Start-rite Mud Busters and they're fab, especially for this time of year as they're fleece lined." (Brand recommendation from Mumsnet user librarylover53)

Snow boots or fleece-lined wellies may also provide a snugger fit and more support. However, if it’s just a romp through a muddy forest or a spot of puddle jumping this probably isn’t something you need to worry about. Should you go up a size in wellies? Many reviewers noted that the Hatley wellies were far roomier than other brands so if your little one has wider feet, this brand is a great option. We particularly loved this gorgeous tractor design which gave them an almost vintage look. However if you don’t have a tractor fan, Hatley wellies come covered in everything from dinosaurs to unicorns so all tastes are catered for. Is there someone in your life who loves Star Wars? If the answer is yes then you don’t have to use the force to get them a gift that they’ll love, you just have to peruse our Star Wars range. Clothes, PJs and more, you’re bound to find something that makes them smile. In the appropriated words of a great master, “great present buyer, you are.”We have always bought our kids Hunters. They’re great and last until they grow out of them. If they grow out of them before they’re done you can sell them on too. My kids wear wellies to trek round fields so they got proper wear rather than just to splash in the odd puddle on the way to the shop. Mine have been going strong for 10 years too!” (Reviewed by Mumsnet user Norightorwronganswer) The wellies are also made using natural rubber and there is a lovely range of designs for different age ranges. We loved the striped option for a more sophisticated choice but little ones are bound to love options such as the fun shark design (with added fin!).

Many reviewers also recommended Hunter wellies as the best boot for children with slimmer feet, as they offer a narrow fit option for more comfort. The brand probably most synonymous with the wellington boot is Hunter. A trusted brand, Hunter have been keeping feet dry for nearly 100 years. Aigle is a popular brand with many of our Mumsnetters for both kids' and adults' wellies. They come quite high up the calf but remain lightweight, making them an ideal option for particularly messy or wet outings. Not only is the material light, but reviewers also noted that it was more flexible than other brands, particularly around the calf. As long as your little one doesn’t spend every day in them, wellies are unlikely to do your child’s feet any harm. They can be a little heavier, so it’s worth bearing this in mind if your toddler is only just learning to walk.You will pay more for this boot but with the promise of durability, the relatively long warranty and the option of passing them on to younger siblings or selling them on afterwards, you may decide it’s worth paying that little bit more. Pros

Material: Most wellies are made from rubber or PVC. Rubber tends to cost more but it will mould to your child’s feet and legs through time and as it’s a more malleable material it may offer more comfort. Neoprene is a synthetic form of rubber, think wetsuit material. It is more lightweight than traditional rubber and can often be warmer. Some of our featured brands such as Aigle and Hunter have introduced wellies made from natural rubber which, whilst more expensive, is a more ethical choice of material. The main problem with wellies when it comes to newly toddling toddlers is the fact that they can be very heavy for little feet. Wellies also tend to be roomier and don’t support the ankle like trainers and shoes do. If there’s a kid in your life who doesn’t seem all that keen on bedtime then maybe a pair of Star Wars PJs could be the answer to your problems. These brilliant sets are available from ages 4-11 and come in a cosy, fleece fabric. The top features the classic Star Wars logo and the bottoms feature a stormtrooper and Darth Vader print, perfect for adding some adventure to their dreams. Although very reasonably priced, the price does seem to jump a little when you’re not buying in the infant sizes so be mindful of this if you’re buying for older children Pros In 1997 Sunak was already a committed Conservative and was dismayed when Tony Blair became prime minister. He wrote in his school magazine complaining that Blair “revels in the label of a patriot, but has plans for the possible breakup of the United Kingdom and membership of an eventual European Superstate. Already the New Labour rhetoric sounds worryingly pro-European and avid pro-Europeans are being sent to Brussels.” 3) Matt Le Tissier was his football hero

What are the best wellies to buy?

When it came to compiling our list we were mindful of the fact that wellies are needed for an array of different activities. A two-year-old spending the odd 10 minutes splashing in a puddle will have different requirements to an older child going on longer walks or attending forest school. We therefore made it our aim to find a comprehensive list to cover all eventualities. Wellies tried and tested by our users
