Rishi's Five Pledges Not Going Well

In January Rishi Sunak made 5 pledges to the British Public and asked us to judge him on how many of them he hits at the end of the year so as we are halfway through the year we can check in to see which he is on target to hit.
First up was halving inflation which sat at 11.1% in January and today is at 8.7% but as the Government does not control inflation as this one is in the hands of the Bank of England and the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) predict that the UK economy would fall to 2.9% by the end of the year organically so bit of a sleight of hand for this one as he wants to take the credit for something which would happen anyway .
The second pledge was to grow the economy but rising inflation has led real-terms pay for the average UK worker which has led to strikes across the country as workers and the OBR says that Britain's economy has stagnated, and it has done so more than other economies elsewhere so again, not really going to plan so far.
Bring down the UK Debt was number three but as today it was announced that the debt is at a record high of 100% of GDP then he won't want to dwell on this one too long.
Decrease the NHS waiting lists was pledge four and according to the latest figures, over 7.2 million people are waiting for treatment and in January it stood at 7.2 million people waiting for treatment so no change there then.
The final pledge was to stop small boats crossing the channel with illegal immigrants which was 28,526 in 2021 and 45,755 in 2022 and so far this year there has already been 10,913 and we are just entering peak channel crossing period and the Channel Crossing Tracker predicts at the current rate will see 85,000 in 2023.

All in all not great Rishi.
