0:59Now PlayingRishi Sunak "is literally the worst person to be leading this country through a cost-of-living crisis," says Labour's Chris Bryant, urging the prime minister to "stop lecturing" people. The prime minister says he's doing "the right thing" to support families
Sunak risks failing against the very promises he told voters to judge him by.
At the beginning of January, the premier set five pledges he said would be the test of his performance. They were to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce the national debt, shrink National Health Service waiting lists and stop migrants crossing the English Channel.
“I fully expect you to hold my government and I to account on delivering those goals,” Sunak said.
But six months on, inflation is proving sticky, recession is becoming more likely, and debt has risen, leading Bank of America Corp. strategists to characterize the UK as the “stagflationary sick man of Europe.” Meanwhile, hospital waiting lists are at a record and boats full of migrants continue to land on England’s shores.
