He married the daughter of "Indian Gates" and had a net worth of more than 700 million pounds ; as a former secretary of the treasury, he predicted that Tras' economic reform was doomed to fail; after he announced his candidacy for British Prime Minister , former boss Johnson gave up his campaign and turned to support.
Risi Sunak, a 42-year-old Indian-British Prime Minister, has taken the lead in No. 10 Downing Street, , and seems to be a foregone conclusion. He himself also posted on social platforms, saying that he was ready to replace Trass.
So the question is, who is Sunak ? Why can he get so many support?
Sunak, 42, was born in the port city of Southampton, in the British port city. His father is a doctor and his mother runs a pharmacy. Although he is an Indian, Sunak, who has been from a wealthy family, studied at Winchester College, a prestigious aristocratic school. After graduation, he entered Oxford University and then came to Stanford to pursue an MBA.
Here, Sunak met his wife, Murthy, who changed his life's fate. His father, his old father-in-law, had a net worth of US$3.6 billion. He is the founder of an information technology company in India and is called India's Bill Gates. Sunak himself is also very business-minded. After graduation, he joined the famous investment bank Goldman Sachs and also jointly established the investment company .
With the help of his wife, Sunak's business is getting bigger and bigger. At present, the cumulative wealth of the two has reached 730 million pounds.
The success in the business world could not conceal Sunak's ambitions, and he gradually turned his attention to politics. With a strong economic foundation and dazzling education, Sunak's political journey was relatively smooth. In 2015, Sunak opened his political journey and was elected as a member of parliament. Five years later, Sunak became the British Chancellor of the Exchequer and became Johnson's right-hand man.
During his tenure as Chancellor Sunak performed well and received support from the Conservative Party and many British people. But the good times did not last long because Johnson's series of bad practices made Sunak lose confidence in him. On July 5, 2022, Sunak resigned as Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Certificate.
Just when the people were surprised, Sunak quickly announced that he would run for the next Prime Minister. Only then did people realize that this young Indian-born Chancellor had higher pursuits. It really fits the old saying: Since you don’t want to be with you, let me replace you.
However, in the later campaign, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer lost to the current Foreign Secretary. In the end, Tras, who regarded Mrs. Thatcher as his idol, took over No. 10 Downing Street. After taking office, Tras carried out a series of unrealistic economic policies, which led to a panic of emergency in the UK economy, and radical tax cuts eventually became the last straw that overwhelmed her. Just 45 days after taking office, Tras hurriedly announced his resignation.
When Tras implemented the tax cut policy, Sunak, who smelled financial risks, once warned her about the consequences of this policy and called Tras' economic reform a "fairy tale." But no one will pay attention to the loser's advice, and Sunak's warning is regarded by many politicians as the complaints of a loser.
After learning, many British people gradually realized that Sunak's original suggestion was correct. After Tras resigned, Sunak's call grew higher and higher, even surpassing former Prime Minister Johnson. Many supporters believe that Britain is in a period of economic difficulties, and only Sunak, who understands the economy, can lead the country to recovery.
The current Chancellor of the Finance Department Hunter also supports Sunak, saying that he is more reliable than Churchill and is more willing to tell the truth.
Seeing that Sunak has so many supporters, Johnson, who originally wanted to continue running for the election, also turned the trend and not only announced his withdrawal from the election, but also fully supported Sunak.
Faced with such a generous ex-boss, Sunak also "supported each other". On the one hand, he strongly praised Johnson, saying that he led the UK through the difficult times of the epidemic during his term, and the British people will always be grateful. On the other hand, Sunak also actively tried to retain Johnson and allowed him to continue his position in the British government.Some analysts pointed out that Sunak's move may really become a reality. Once Sunak is successfully elected, Johnson is expected to appear in the new British cabinet sequence as an ambassador to the outside world.
However, in the face of Sunak's active show of affection for the "former boss", some of Johnson's supporters did not buy it. They believe that the reason why Johnson stepped down was because of Sunak's resignation in July, and even extremists said that if the Conservatives support Sunak, they will switch to other camps.
Another part of the opponents seized on his stain. Sunak was fined by the police during his tenure at the government party, but ordinary British people at that time suffered due to the epidemic. This double standard behavior became a lingering shadow for Sunak, and opponents often took out this matter and sarcastically sarcastic.
Although the British continue to praise Sunak as the savior of the British economy and the "hand of stability", with the current overall economic situation in Europe and the bunch of messy stalls left by Tras, Sunak still has a long way to go to turn the tide.
