The promises that incumbent British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made during his campaign to win the Conservative Party's leadership against his predecessor Liz Truss have been put under review, 10 Downing Street said on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters, the prime minister's spokesperson said that "obviously, those are pledges that were made a few months ago now, and the context is somewhat different, obviously, economically. [...] We need to take some time to make sure what is deliverable and what is possible." They added that there is no "end point" for the review.
Among the promises Sunak made during the summer were cutting the basic rate from income tax from 20 pence to 16 pence, resuming former Home Secretary Priti Patel's scheme of exporting migrants to Rwanda, modifying the legislation concerning the relations with the European Union, and charging those that miss their appointment with a general practitioner (GP) £10.
