Artwork featuring Rishi Sunak and penguins on Hastings Beach

A cut-out of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, penguins wearing life jackets and an inflatable boat were installed on Hastings Beach.

The cut-out of the prime minister shows him holding up a bag with the word ‘NIMBY’ on it, an acronym for ‘not in my back yard’.

There is also a signpost with directions to Heathrow, Rwanda, Gatwick, and Antarctica.

Hastings Pier shared the image on Facebook after it was put up last week.

People expressed their opinions on the strange new addition to the beach on Facebook.

Kaylas Kay Cheetham said: “Who’s responsible for this – absolutely genius.”

Fraser Neli said: “Brilliant, could be Banksy.”

Christine Rogowska said: “The quicker we get rid of Nimby Sunak, the better, send him to Rwanda.”

A spokesman for Hastings Pier said: “We have seen some incredible artwork pop up around the beach over the years, and this is the latest.”

It’s currently unknown who created this artwork.
