With the Conservative and Labour parties wooing voters ahead of the July 4 general election, prime minister Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty have shared a special Instagram post listing the common things they share.

They start off by saying it is not just watching 're-runs of Friends' and the love for Spanish food, but “It’s the values that we share."

The post mentions a list of beliefs they share: They both believe in the importance of hard work and bold actions.

They are hopeful their children will inherit a better world than the one we share today.

The couple expressed happiness over speaking to people in Harrow about the values that matter to them, and the future they want for their children.

So far, 78 sitting MPs of his party have announced they will not be contesting the election and that includes big names such as former prime minister Theresa May and former defence minister Ben Wallace.

Last Friday, UK cabinet ministers Michael Gove and MP Andrea Leadsom announced their decision not to contest the election.
