On reaching 100 days in 10 Downing Street this week, Rishi Sunak will double the duration of Liz Truss's brutally short term as British prime minister.
Sunak had sought to buy time by launching an internal inquiry into Zahawi, who admitted to being “careless” with his own taxes and had to pay a seven-figure sum to the UK’s tax agency — when he was finance minister in charge of the same agency.
Sunak, a practising Hindu who at 42 is Britain’s youngest leader since 1812, has brought a smooth-talking, technocratic approach to the premiership borne of his lucrative years in private finance. “Give us something to fight for,” Frost wrote in The Daily Telegraph newspaper. “And bring Conservatives back to the party.”
But any deal with Brussels risks provoking Brexiteer hardliners among Tory MPs, many of whom accuse Sunak of betraying Johnson and are likely to stir trouble if local elections in May turn out badly for the party.
