In his campaign for the position of UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, an Indian-origin man, promised to manage the country's economy in a similar manner to Margaret Thatcher. Sunak was speaking in the midst of Britain's severe cost of living problem, which economists worried might lead to a recession. The ex-minister who is British Indian and 42 years old declared, 'I'm the one who would bring Thatcherite changes to the UK.' According to Sunak, he is the best choice to implement the kind of Thatcherite post-war reforms required to address the economic catastrophe and skyrocketing inflation that have resulted from the pandemic and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The finalist in the campaign to succeed Boris Johnson as Tory leader said he knows how to produce results in government and deliver. He is competing against Foreign Secretary Liz Truss in the last round of voting to win over Conservative Party members.
