Rishi Sunak is feeling the pressure as all five of his major pledges appear to be at risk, six months on A senior Government source said: “We are just helmets on, getting on with it – not as fast as we would like but things are going to get better.”
The Prime Minister will spend much of this week attending events to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the NHS, before embarking on another round of global diplomacy with a short visit by Joe Biden to the UK followed by next week’s Nato summit in Lithuania.
Mr Sunak’s pledges to “stop the boats” and cut NHS waiting lists have been as rocky as those on the economy. June saw a record number of refugees cross the Channel while there is little sign of pressure on the health service easing. A No 10 spokesman said: “The Prime Minister rightly set ambitious priorities. He did not set out to deliver anything that would be easy, that’s not what the public would expect. These are big challenges made harder by a pandemic and war in Europe. He is clear that these are the public’s priorities, that is where he is spending the vast majority of his time.”
Germany and other European countries have experienced recessions while the UK has narrowly avoided one, he added, saying: “We were predicted to fall into a recession, that has not happened. These things do not happen by accident.”
