LONDON – British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces an awkward three-week political test that is likely to have a lasting impact on his premiership and even his chances of upsetting the polls by winning the next UK general election.
Trailing Mr Keir Starmer’s opposition Labour Party by 22 points – a lead that has grown from 16 points in three weeks, according to YouGov – means Mr Sunak is under pressure. It was the latest in a series of public Tory spats that have undermined Mr Sunak’s attempt to build a united front to put to voters, from the fiery resignation of disgraced former leader Boris Johnson as an MP, to election campaign disagreements.
Still, there are risks for Mr Sunak. On a trip to Belfast and Dublin in April, Mr Biden made clear his concerns about the peace process in Northern Ireland and ensuring Brexit does not undermine it. Polls show the public still supports striking healthcare staff, despite months of industrial action across the public sector that have significantly hit services.as his top economic priority and sees negotiations over public pay in that context.Health Secretary Steve Barclay told Sky News on Sunday the approach will not change, though the Times newspaper later cited him as saying there needed to be movement on both sides to end the strikes.
Mr Johnson’s former seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip was regarded as a prime Labour target given the former prime minister’s tainted record. After he quit, it’s seen as more in the balance.
