will take over as Boris Johnson as the leader of the British Conservative Party and the future prime minister. There are two candidates left, including current Foreign Minister Trass and former Minister of Finance, Sunak.
Rishi Sunak (also translated as Xin Weicheng) was the youngest owner in history of the Caijing Official Residence of No. 511, Tangning Street, and was only 39 years old. The new crown epidemic spreads, and the UK has entered the period of home isolation and fighting the epidemic. He celebrated his 40th birthday.
The new crown epidemic hit the economy hard, becoming a severe test Sunak faced at the beginning of his tenure, and it was the biggest challenge since World War II : leading Britain out of the dilemma of the virus pandemic and the sharp stagnation of economic activities.
html took office in April. Xincai Xiang was asked how he was preparing to support the economy that was hit hard by the new crown epidemic and epidemic prevention measures. He replied: "At any cost," and do his best. This promise was confirmed in the summer fiscal budget announced in July.
fearlessness
4 In early July, Sunak announced an additional new crown epidemic emergency response plan expenditure, adding 30 billion pounds to the original 190 billion pounds.
Generally speaking, when allocating funds and spending money, wealth is always easier to receive praise and support. But Sunak received more praise because he abandoned obscure and difficult terms, his language was plain, and it seemed that he was preparing to do his best to get the economy out of the crisis at all costs.
also criticized. Some people believe that these latest measures are too cautious, while others believe that the rescue tools are not rough and accurate enough, resulting in some people who do not need help also receive subsidies, while those who need it the most do not receive sufficient compensation.
Although economists are not shouting to be wary of deficits now, the UK is indeed accumulating debt quickly, which will cast a shadow on economic development for many years to come.
"Rishinomics" (Rishinomics)
Sunak once confessed to the summer budget plan when the parliament announced its plan for the crisis: his strategy to deal with the crisis broke the "constraints of legacy."
It can be said that ideology was basically left behind under the sharp teeth of the COVID-19 crisis, and lawmakers and government officials have found a common language on the issue of significantly increasing debt and expanding fiscal spending. Before the Brexit referendum, Sunak shook the flag and shouted for the Brexit camp.
According to the Yorkshire Post, he said at the time that Brexit would make Britain "freer, more fairer, more prosperous."
He believes that the bureaucratic red tape of EU is not good for British companies, but hopes to maintain free trade relations with the EU and is optimistic about the UK and the EU reaching a free trade agreement after Brexit.
Another reason for supporting Brexit, Sunak explained, is immigration policy, specifically changing immigration rules.
he said: "I believe moderate acceptance of immigration can benefit our country. But we must control the border."
he voted for Theresa May 's Brexit agreement.
"Basic Difference"
Since 2015, he has been a Conservative MP in the Richmond Constituency in Yorkshire and has entered the Theresa May administration as ministerial position. He voted three times to support Prime Minister May's Brexit agreement, but after the situation changed, he quickly stood in the Johnson camp.
In 2019, Johnson was appointed Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Finance after he replaced May in the Prime Minister's Office.
In February 2020, the political earthquake and the new crown epidemic followed one after another. Former wealth minister Sajid Javid, who had been not very harmonious with the Prime Minister and Prime Minister's think tank, lost and retreated, and was forced to resign and Sunak took over.
" said in February that former financial minister Javid made the boldest tax cut and expenditure increase plan in 15 years last fall, and Johnson felt that it was not bold enough. Johnson hopes to see an expansionary budget that stimulates immediate economic growth, including tax cuts and increased infrastructure spending.
Sunak was initially a staunch supporter of Johnson, but resigned in spring and summer 2022, saying that his views and positions on economic affairs had "fundamental differences" with the Prime Minister.
After he resigned, many senior officials of the Johnson government immediately followed suit and announced their resignation.
elite education
Sunak's parents immigrated from East African to the UK, both of whom are Indian. My father is a general practitioner , and my mother runs her own independent pharmacy.
He was born in Southampton, England. He witnessed his father serving the community since he was a child and admired his spirit of dedicating to the community. While helping with his mother's pharmacy, Sunak took his first business management class in his life.
Sunak received British aristocratic education. After graduating from Winchester School, he entered Oxford University to study philosophy, politics and economics. After graduating from undergraduate studies, I went to , one of the Ivy League universities in the United States, to study for an MBA.
While studying in Stanford, Sunak met his current wife, Adshata Murthy. Her father is Narayana Murthy, an Indian billionaire and co-founder of IT services giant Infosys.
Hunak couple has two daughters.
After graduation, he worked in investment bank Goldman Sachs (Goldman Sachs) and an hedge fund . Before entering politics, he co-founded an investment company .
In 2015, Sunak was elected Conservative MP in Richmond, Yorkshire, and lived in Kirby Sigston, outside Northallerton.
In the minds of many people, he is one of the richest members of Congress, but he himself keeps silent about it.
The son of the immigrant
Sunak is a second generation immigrant born in the UK. This identification of foreign immigrant ancestry and ethnic minorities is important to him.
In 2018, he mentioned in an interview with the BBC (BBC) that both parents were immigrants in South Asia. "In terms of cultural education, I will go to the temples of Hindu on weekends - I am a Hindus - but on Saturday I will also participate in the Southampton Football Club game; it is to take into account both ends and participate in everything."
He said that he did not experience much racial discrimination during his growth, but there is indeed one thing that has always been difficult to let go.
When he was in his teens, he went out with his younger brother and sister and went to a fast food restaurant. He was taking care of his younger brother and sister, and the person sitting at the nearby dining table spoke rudely, "This is my first experience (racism), ... said something very unpleasant. He used the word P (the despicable name for Pakistani or South Asians in English). "
was insulted for no reason, Sunak will always remember the sting, "sting like a needle; I still remember it freshly, so it is engraved in my memory. Insults can be manifested in many different ways."
However, he felt that something like "unthinkable" would happen in today's UK.
During the epidemic, Sunak helped serve food in a Japanese restaurant, encouraging everyone to eat out.
personal "brand"
data from YouGov, one of the major British poll websites, shows that the British public basically recognizes Sunak's performance after becoming the prime minister, and the approval rating has always remained stable at more than half.
Although his style is very different from his immediate boss, Prime Minister Johnson, and gives people the impression that he is calm, regular, not ostentatious, and likes neat hairstyles, it is obvious that he has begun to create his own brand - the "Rich Brand" to create his own public image.
He would post photos of himself on social media, such as sitting in front of a computer wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and riding the escalator of the department store John Lewis (John Lewis).
latest photo shows him working in a Japanese restaurant, setting an example to promote the recovery of the catering industry and encouraging the public to go to restaurants more. The photos of him serving dishes on the plate have also attracted a lot of criticism because it obviously does not meet the safe social distance between 2 meters and does not wear a mask. In addition to these easy and easy tidbits of
, Sunak, as the prime minister, is more concerned about how he is preparing to revive the British economy and help the nearly paralyzed small-capital operators and service industries return to normal.
- people speculate that he has a relatively high chance of winning the Prime Minister.
