With less than two weeks to go until the UK election, heat is building over who will occupy 10 Downing Street, and the question on everyone’s mind is whether Chancellor Rishi Sunak will return.
In an exclusive interview BBCChancellor Rishi Sunak spoke about issues including illegal immigration, the National Health Service and Brexit.
Taking questions from the audience, Sunak said: BBC The studio boss said his grandparents had little to build on when they emigrated to the UK, but now he is the UK’s prime minister and feels it is his duty to give back as a “debt” to his people.
However, while recent polls by several research organisations have suggested that Chancellor Sunak’s Conservative Party is heading for defeat in the upcoming UK election, with Keir Starmer’s Labour Party winning the polls in a clear victory, the figures suggest this is not the case.
Asked about illegal immigration in the interview, Prime Minister Sunak said: “Illegal immigration undermines the sense of fairness on which our entire country is based.” BBC In the interview, when asked about the National Health Service (NHS) and how he could improve the service, the Prime Minister said: “Today the NHS is better funded than at any other time in its history”, but acknowledged: “We haven’t made as much progress as I would have liked on waiting lists”.
According to pollster YouGov, Labour is expected to win 425 seats and Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party will secure 108 seats, while Nigel Farage’s Reform Party UK is predicted to have a chance of winning five seats. The YouGov poll involved around 40,000 voters and was conducted between June 11 and June 18.
A new Savanta poll has been released, dealing a new blow to Chancellor Sunak. Telegraph The paper reports that he could become the first sitting prime minister to lose his seat in parliamentary elections scheduled for July 4.
