Rishi Sunak | The politician who redeemed himself

The Hindu  

“Liz, we have to be honest. Observers are saying Mr. Sunak had his “I told you so” moment when Ms. Truss’ tax plans in September’s “mini-budget” not only proved to be “fairytale economics” but plunged British markets into a mess that saw the Pound Sterling reach record lows against the dollar and the government’s borrowing rates skyrocket. Mr. Sunak’s announcement of a $190 billion emergency spending plan in his first budget, authenticated his pledge of being a “whatever it takes” Finance Minister. Before he lost to Ms. Truss on September 5, he said about his economic plans in an interview: “I would rather lose having fought for the things that I passionately believe are right for our country, and being true to my values, than win on a false promise.” His ratings turned around once again for the better as a YouGov poll of Tory members revealed last week that if given a chance to vote again, 55% would now vote for Mr. Sunak while just 25% would vote for Ms. Truss. Having now become Britain’s first South Asian, Indian-origin and Hindu Prime Minister, who took his 2017 Parliamentary oath on the Bhagavad Gita, Mr. Sunak has a monumental task ahead of him.
