After Rishi Sunak's campaign took another hit when a video of him bragging about purposefully diverting funding away from underprivileged metropolitan areas of the UK while he was Chancellor of the Exchequer surfaced, Rishi Sunak said he is still in the running for the Conservative Party leadership. UK PM candidate Rishi Sunak is under criticism after a video of him confessing to moving money from places to other regions of the nation was leaked. On July 29, the New Statesman magazine published a video of Rishi speaking to the Conservative party in Tunbridge Wells. According to detractors, the leaked tape may harm Rishi's chances of becoming the next prime minister of the UK.
