Chancellor Rishi Sunak is embarking on a policy blitz in an effort to narrow the gap between the Conservatives and the Labour Party. Sunak's 'Operation Action Man' comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been holding critical meetings with his closest advisers and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to brainstorm bold new ideas aimed at winning back voters.
Countering Keir Starmer's 'Inaction Man' Label
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer recently referred to Rishi Sunak as "Inaction Man" during a heated PMQs clash. Downing Street, however, is determined to refute this claim and is preparing to unveil new initiatives in the coming weeks.
New Initiatives: Law and Order and Local Pride
Improving law and order and instilling a sense of pride in local communities are expected to take center stage in the government's new initiatives. A No10 insider stated, "The PM is a man of action."
Tory MP's Gloomy Outlook
Despite the launch of 'Operation Action Man,' most Tory MPs remain pessimistic about their party's chances of winning the election, as they currently trail behind by approximately 20 points in the polls. Some MPs have even submitted no confidence letters, although most backbenchers believe it would be unwise to change leaders prior to the next election.
Tory Succession Wars Begin
The race for Tory leadership is already heating up. Former Tory chairman Brandon Lewis is rumored to be considering a leadership bid if Rishi Sunak steps down. Recently, Lewis has undergone a physical transformation and has revamped his social media presence with polished videos and Sunak-like signatures. However, Mr. Lewis has denied any involvement in leadership maneuvers.
Fury Over Sunak's Resignation
New details have emerged regarding former PM Boris Johnson's reaction when Rishi Sunak resigned from his government last year. The Telegraph claims that Johnson exclaimed, "F**k! F**k! He’s trying to f**k me," upon hearing the news.
