▲ 6 ▼ Sunak's progress on "5 promises" (www.bbc.co.uk) submitted 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) by GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk [M] to c/uk_politics@feddit.uk 15 comments fedilink hide all child comments I still can't believe one of them was "stop the boats". Of the others: Halve inflation (still a long way to go) Grow the economy (economy is board flat) Cut the national debt (debt has now risen to 100% GDP) Cut NHS waiting lists (waiting lists now even longer)
