Britain’s voters warm to new leader Rishi Sunak — but not to his fractious party

LA Times  

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak leaves 10 Downing St. on his way to Parliament on Wednesday. Britain’s first prime minister of color, Sunak has stabilized the economy, reassured allies from Washington to Kyiv and even soothed the European Union after years of sparring between Britain and the bloc. Labor Party leader Keir Starmer, left, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak attend a Remembrance Sunday ceremony in London on Nov. 13. “I fully appreciate how hard things are,” Sunak said Oct. 25 in his first address to the nation as prime minister, warning of “difficult decisions to come.” An emergency budget last week helped buoy the pound and calm markets — at the cost of $30 billion in tax hikes and the prospect of public spending cuts down the road. But after reports that the government was seeking closer ties riled Euroskeptics, Sunak said recently that he would not accept “alignment with EU laws.” David Henig, a trade expert at the European Center for International Political Economy, said that backlash “has revealed just how deep the Europe problem is for Rishi Sunak and for the Conservative Party.” He said Sunak is a longtime Brexit supporter but also a pragmatist who “just wants a relationship that works — and it quite clearly doesn’t at the moment.” “I think the problem is that he has no great fresh ideas as to how to make that work, and a lot of internal opposition,” Henig added.
