Rishi Sunak's five promises: What progress has he made?
www.bbc.co.uk
The prime minister said these five priorities should be used to hold his government to account.

I still can’t believe one of them was “stop the boats”.

Of the others:

  • Halve inflation (still a long way to go)
  • Grow the economy (economy is board flat)
  • Cut the national debt (debt has now risen to 100% GDP)
  • Cut NHS waiting lists (waiting lists now even longer)

    There’s a big difference between the deficit and debt there friend. UK debt is 100% of GDP, not great but not a catastrophe.

      Corrected, thanks. Too many billboards of Cameron going “I’ll cut the deficit” in 2009 rotted my brain, I think.

      Yup, financial illiteracy of the UK public strikes again!
