JUST four in 100 people in the UK have any confidence at all that Rishi Sunak can keep one of his key pledges and stop the small boat crossings of the Channel.
The Prime Minister laid out what critics called his “five flimsy promises” in a new year’s speech on Wednesday, pledging to halve inflation, cut UK debt, grow the economy, cut NHS waiting lists, and “stop the boats”.
While things such as economic growth, NHS waiting lists falling, and inflation halving are expected to happen anyway, there have been questions about what Sunak meant by his pledge to stop the boats.
