1-economic and social crisis
The top priority before Rishi Sunak is to solve the economic crisis. Inflation is over 10 percent, the highest in any G7 country. Rishi Sunak is well aware of the dangers of recession and that is why he was surprised at the tax-cut budget announcement by Liz Truss’s government.
Uniting the Party
After 12 years in power, today the Conservative Party is more divided than ever. There is internal discord among many people. Boris Johnson resigned in July after losing the confidence of about 60 ministers. Truss announced his resignation after only 44 days. Sunak will become the Tory’s fifth prime minister since 2016 after David Cameron, Theresa May, Johnson and Truss.
Most Tory lawmakers have supported Sunak. He appears to have been given a solid mandate, but the challenge before him will be to keep the party united. Within the party, there still exists a faction of Boris fans. They see Sunak’s role in the fall of Johnson’s government as a betrayal.
Northern Ireland
Sunak, who backed leaving the EU in 2016, will now have to deal with trade rules in Northern Ireland. A draft bill currently running through Parliament proposes to do away with parts of the deal. The European Union has warned it could spark retaliatory trade sanctions. In such a situation, it is necessary to take every step of them to do business with Northern Ireland.
Immigration
Immigration is the problem of people moving from one geographical unit to another and settling in the UK is a big problem that Sunak has to deal with. is.
Since the Brexit government, Tory governments have also made promises to deal with the problem of immigration but have not been fulfilled. This year a record number of 37,570 people have reached England. Sunak backed a government plan to send illegal refugees into the UK to Rwanda, but the project has been stalled for months due to legal action. In such a situation, now they will have to take a tough decision regarding immigrants and in the interest of Britain.

The UK is providing 2.3 billion pounds ($2.6 billion) of military aid to Ukraine this year, more than any other country except the United States.
