Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has been making headlines due to his involvement in various political controversies. Critics have accused him of using mental health issues as a political tool ahead of local elections, and his government's plan to meet climate targets was recently ruled unlawful by the High Court. Additionally, there has been a row between the UK and Ireland over the deportation of small boat asylum seekers, with Westminster refusing to take them back until they can be sent to France.
Born on May 12, 1980, Rishi Sunak is a British politician who made history as the first British Asian Prime Minister. He assumed office in 2022 and also serves as the Leader of the Conservative Party. Prior to becoming Prime Minister, Sunak held two cabinet positions under Boris Johnson's government. Sunak's leadership has been marked by his government's policies on various issues, including the economy, mental health, and immigration, which have sparked both support and criticism from different quarters.
