Despite this optimism, Sunak's tenure has seen limited success in meeting his goals, and his party remains divided, with some members demanding further tax cuts. He has claimed credit for the expected halving of inflation by the end of the year, although experts question the government's influence on this outcome.
Sunak has also voiced determination to push through a controversial plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda and aims to slash taxes by cutting spending, particularly on welfare benefits.
Labour's leader, Keir Starmer, criticizes Sunak for remaining in office without calling an election, implying that Sunak is more focused on marking two years as Prime Minister than acting in the nation's interest.
Starmer challenges Sunak to either set an election date if he has a concrete plan or proceed to the election swiftly if he does not.
