GOOD TIMES ARE COMING

RISHI SUNAK'S NEW YEAR MESSAGE OF HOPE | 'I will work flat out to provide peace of mind'

- David Williamson

RISHI SUNAK has promised “better times ahead” as he revealed a New Year’s masterplan to kickstart Britain’s recovery. 

The Prime Minister insisted the Government was “working flat out to provide peace of mind” to the nation after a horrendous 12 months marred by war, inflation and political turmoil.

But in a message to mark the start of 2023, Mr Sunak said, “I know we will get through these winter days” and pledged to “build a better future” for generations to come.

With waiting lists hitting a record-breaking seven million, he said the NHS is the “first priority for many people up and down the country”.

Writing in today’s Sunday Express, he said there is “every reason to believe we will emerge stronger” from a year of upheaval.

And in a separate video message, Mr Sunak said he wanted to bring a sense of “fairness” to modern Britain, and was optimistic about the future.

He added: “I know it’s been tough but I’m really confident that better times lie ahead.

“I may have only had the job for several weeks but actually I feel good about the future.
