UK Elections 2024: PM Sunak admits not making much progress in NHS as polls predict Conservatives defeat

Sunak, who was questioned by the audience in the BBC studio, said that his grandparents who migrated to the UK had very little to build upon, but today he is the Prime Minister of the country and he feels that it is his duty to give back to the nation as a “debt of gratitude”.

Though numbers suggest otherwise for PM Sunak’s Conservative Party as the recent polls by multiple agencies suggest that Tories are headed for a defeat in the upcoming UK elections while Keir Starmer lead Labour Party will emerge as the clear winner in the polls.

When asked about the illegal immigration issue in the interview, PM Sunak said, “illegal immigration undermined the sense of fairness our entire country is built on.” PM Sunak, in the BBC interview, was countered by the National Health Service (NHS) question and improving its service to which he responded, “There is more money going into the NHS today than there has been in its history”, but the PM admitted that “we haven’t made as much progress as I would’ve liked on waiting lists.”

As per polling agency YouGov, the Labour Party is poised to win 425 seats and Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party would secure 108 seats. While Nigel Farage’s Reform UK might win 5 seats, the forecast suggests. The poll by YouGov included nearly 40,000 voters and was carried out between June 11- June 18.

In another blow for PM Sunak, Savanta opinion poll published by The Telegraph newspaper has suggested that he might be the first sitting Prime Minister who would lose his seat in the upcoming parliamentary polls scheduled on July 4.
