Rishi Sunak became the youngest Prime Minister of Britain on 25 October 2022.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Monday that the country is currently going through the most dangerous phase. Addressing the public from the Policy Exchange platform in London before the general elections in the UK, Sunak said that the world is currently very close to nuclear war. In such a situation, the opposition leaders will prove to be weak in front of the enemies.
According to BBC, Sunak said that if Labor Party leader Sir Keir Starmer wins the Prime Minister’s election this year, Britain’s security will be at risk. In fact, Sunak’s Conservative Party had to face defeat in the recent mayoral elections held in London. After this, he once again went among the public and sought support. Elections for Prime Minister are going to be held in Britain at the end of this year.
The picture is of Britain’s Labor Party leader Sir Keir Starmer. He said that the defeat of the Conservative Party in the local elections is proof that the country now wants change.
Britain is under threat from Russia, China and Iran
Sunak said that Britain is currently under threat from Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. The leaders of the Labor Party want to come to power by pointing out the shortcomings of our party. But he does not have a positive outlook towards the country.
If Starmer becomes the PM of the country, Russia and Putin will be very happy with this. After this, Sunak reiterated his promise to make the country’s defense expenditure 2.5% of GDP by 2030. If Starmer becomes the PM of the country, Russia and Putin will be very happy with this.
After Sunak’s speech, Labor Party leader Keir Starmer also gave a speech. “I understand the value of national security. That’s why the Labor Party is already committed to national security. The Sunak government is raising this issue, but they have no record,” he said.
Starmer further said that the Conservative Party has hollowed out our armed forces. They wasted billions of rupees on purchasing weapons and yet they have no plans for the future.
Conservative Party has been in power in Britain for 14 years
The Conservative Party has been in power in Britain for the last 14 years. According to the British media Financial Times, the Labor Party is leading in various surveys being conducted in Britain. In an Ipsos poll in March, Sunak was given a rating of 38, which was the worst rating.
There are a total of 650 seats in Britain’s House of Commons (Lower House). A party needs 326 seats to form the government. In April, a YouGov poll suggested that the Conservative Party would get only 155 seats in the 2025 elections, whereas in 2019, former PM Boris Johnson had won 365 seats. At the same time, in this poll, the opposition Labor Party claimed to get 403 seats.
Conservative Party has lost 10 by-elections after 2019
In the 2019 general elections in Britain, the then PM Boris Johnson had given majority to the party, but after that the party has lost more than 10 by-elections in the same term. Conservative MPs are worried due to the defeat in two seats in Britain, Wellingburgh and Kingswood, about 3 months ago.
The election was held in Wallingburgh following the removal of the Conservative MP, Peter Bone. Here Labor Party MP Jane Kitchen got 45.8% votes, which was 28.5% more than last time. This seat was with the Conservative Party since 2005. Same was the situation in Kingswood, where the Labor Party got 44.9% votes, which is 16.4% more than last time. This seat was with the Conservative Party since 2010.
