Prime Minister Rishi Sunak declares victory as he successfully tackled the nation’s high inflation.

Earlier this year, Mr. Sunak pledged to “halve” the 10.7% UK inflation rate by the end of 2023.

His actions proved victorious as the rates dropped drastically to 4.6% in October, which was lower than expected.

Responding to the latest figures, the Prime Minister said: “Inflation works like a tax. It eats into the pound in your pocket, affecting the price of your food shop, mortgage, and pension pot. This is why halving inflation has been my number one priority.”

The win came at the best time for Sunak, as earlier last week he was labeled a failure by former Home Secretary Suella Braverman in a scathing resignation letter.

The letter accused Sunak of “betrayal of their agreement” to deliver what he promised to the nation, and of having “no real intention of fulfilling his pledge to the British people.”

Braverman, who was sacked on Monday, claims to have only supported Sunak because of the assurances he made on tackling key policy issues such as,

  1. Reducing overall legal migration
  2.  Including Specific “notwithstanding clauses” into new legislation to stop the boats.
  3. Deliver the Northern Island protocol and retain EU Law bills.
  4.  Issue equivocal statutory guidance to schools that protects biological sex, safeguards single-sex spaces, and empowers parents to know what is being taught to their children.

She added, “this irresponsibility has wasted time and left the country in an impossible state with no plan B.”

In response to the letter, a Downing Street spokesperson says the prime minister “believes in action and not words.” They added Sunak was “proud to appoint a strong, united team” and will continue tackling migration issues.

No.10 ended their statement by thanking the former home secretary for her service.
