Unpopular Sunak in 'doom loop' as defeat looms
Apr 15, 2024
London [UK], April 15: He's failed to meet key pledges, hit an opinion poll low, and even cramped the style of a popular Adidas shoe: Britain's beleaguered Conservative leader Rishi Sunak appears destined to lose a looming general election. Two tax cuts and a slightly improving economy have failed to boost Sunak's political fortunes, while criticism from ex-prime minister Boris Johnson and speculation over Brexit figurehead Nigel Farage's intentions are adding to his woes. Political scientist Rob Ford reckoned Sunak has been left looking "hapless" in the face of seemingly unstoppable political momentum away from his ruling Tories. "When the herd moves, it moves. There's not much you can do," he told AFP.
