UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has firmly denied rumors of planning a move to California, USA, following a potential election defeat for his Conservative Party. Sunak emphasized his commitment to staying in the UK regardless of the election outcome on July 4, dismissing claims that the early election was arranged for his daughters' schooling in the US.
Speculations surrounding Sunak's intentions emerged, suggesting that he called for an early election to facilitate his daughters' education in the US by September. However, Sunak refuted these claims, asserting his loyalty to the UK. He emphasized his connection to the country, citing personal ties such as his football team's recent promotion.
Responding to accusations of using the early election as an escape strategy, Sunak reaffirmed his dedication to public service, citing his upbringing and values instilled by his parents. He emphasized his motivation to make a positive impact on people's lives and dismissed notions of political opportunism.
Addressing criticism of his national service plan for school leavers, Sunak defended the initiative, emphasizing the importance of citizenship and social responsibility. Despite opposition from colleagues like Minister Steve Baker, Sunak maintained that the program aims to foster a culture of service while providing valuable skills to young individuals and enhancing the country's security and resilience.
