'No tricks': Rishi Sunak speech outlining 'people's priorities' including tackling NHS chaos

'No tricks': Rishi Sunak speech outlining 'people's priorities' including tackling NHS chaos. Rishi Sunak vowed to work 'night and day' to restore 'optimism, hope and pride in Britain' today in his first big speech as PM.

Trying to get on the front foot in 2023 amid a crippling wave of strikes, Mr Sunak acknowledged the massive pressures facing hospitals saying he was taking 'urgent action' to protect services.

He also slammed 'misinformation' from unions over strikes, and said the government will shortly lay out its next move.

But Mr Sunak said he hoped he was already starting to earn people's 'trust', and spelled out five promises to judge him against this year - including that inflation will be halved to tackle the cost of living , and the Channel migrant crisis will be eased.

He also committed to grow the economy, reduce debt and cut NHS waiting lists.

'These five promises are the people's priorities,' he said. 'We will halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists, and stop the boats.'

12 years in office and they're still talking to us about all the problems we face... when will they realise that the real problem stands behind the lectern?

[rql]

why is he speaking to us like we're 7

[colingreen]

He, (and his advisory team) have concocted a speech to appease the "Citizens " of OUR COUNTRY . most of whom are in despair . Why should WE tolerate the wrongdoings perpetrated by unprincipled politicians ? A General Election should now be TOP of the agenda !

[ravenblack]

When did rishi become a stand up comedian.

[markreid]

He talks like the mess we, re in has nothing to do with his own party being in control for the last 13 years, where is the opposition?

[Semper_Iratus]

Lies, Lies and more Lies. I’ll believe it when I see it.

[sonnyboy]

Bad politicians and bad media. Poor England.

[johndean]

Dreams cost nothing. Promises are there to be Broken. And then they can walk away with no Consequences when they Fail to deliver. Pinch me if any of them become Reality please.

[charlottebowes]

Oh he’s deliberately looking to be strung up now…

The Tories still don’t realise they’re not wanted, because of what they’ve done…

[OrSomeBricks]

Britain- would it work better without a UK Government?

“Over the course of this parliament we will be spending 100 billion more every year than we did at the beginning. That’s why we’re going to be able to have 50, 000 more nurses, 20, 000 more police officers, 40 new hospitals.” Rishi Sunak, Sky News 12 AUGUST 2021.

He gives speeches likes he's giving assembly in primary school

[monty]

His party have said all this stuff before what a load of rubbish

[MySkyranger]

Tell the posh school boy to go home to mummy

[stayhappybetrue]

this man waste of space unless you are on his pay role

[TheWiseJames]

Richi sunak would need a surplus in his budget to lower the debt, Something no tory has managed since 1989. i highly doubt richi can make the UK the 200 billion more we need over the next 12 months just to break even and pay a couple ££ of the national debt. He has already failed on point 3 on day 1.

[celiaowen]

It’s nothing to do with the war in Ukraine that’s a cop out.

[Gibsonuk]

Tell us another one!!! My arm fell off with laughter

[philsmith]

You can tell he is lying because his mouth is moving, there is only one believing this 🦬💩 him

[graz]

What happened to all that money promised to the NHS on that big red bus.I didn't vote out because I know what liars these people are.
