PM Sunak To Deliver First Major Policy Speech Of 2023 This Afternoon

UK

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is set to deliver his first major policy speech of 2023 early this afternoon as the UK continues to deal with widespread industrial action, high inflationary pressures, and elevated energy prices, as many other European nations are.

  • The Daily Telegraph: "It will be a major moment for the Prime Minister who has faced repeated questions from his critics since taking office about what he actually stands for and what he wants to achieve during his premiership. The timing of the speech has raised eyebrows. It has been in the pipeline for a while but it has been unexpectedly moved forward and will now happen before a big speech by Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, tomorrow."
  • With the next UK general election seen as likely to take place in May 2024, during the course of 2023 we are likely to see both the governing centre-right Conservatives and main opposition centre-left Labour party shift into a more overt electioneering stance.
