| rishi sunak books: Going for Broke Michael Ashcroft, 2021-02 The first biography of the man who presided over the biggest financial rescue package in British history, and who now has the task of rebuilding the post COVID-19 economy Three years ago, Rishi Sunak was an unknown junior minister in the Department of Local Government.

| rishi sunak books: British Conservative Leaders Charles Clarke, Toby S. James, Tim Bale, Patrick Diamond, 2025-06-24 A comprehensively updated new edition of the essential guide to the qualities and vulnerabilities of political leaders. As the party that has won wars, reversed recessions and held prime ministerial power more times than any other, the Conservatives have played an undoubtedly crucial role in the shaping of contemporary British society. And yet the leaders who have stood at its helm – from Sir Robert Peel to Rishi Sunak, via Benjamin Disraeli, Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher – have steered the party vessel with enormously varying degrees of success, particularly latterly, when the short but destructive tenures of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss did much to damage the party's reputation for competence. With the widening of the franchise, revolutionary changes to social values and the growing ubiquity of the media, the requirements, techniques and goals of Conservative leadership since the party's nineteenth-century factional breakaway have been forced to evolve almost beyond recognition – and not all its leaders have managed to keep up. This comprehensive and enlightening book considers the attributes and achievements of each leader in the context of their respective time and diplomatic landscape, offering a compelling analytical framework by which they may be judged, alongside detailed personal biographies from some of the country's foremost political critics, and exclusive interviews with former leaders themselves. |
| rishi sunak books: Rishi Sunak Michael Ashcroft, 2022-12-20 In the middle of 2019, Rishi Sunak was an unknown junior minister in the local government department. Seven months later, at the age of thirty-nine, he was Chancellor of the Exchequer, grappling with the gravest economic crisis in modern history.

| rishi sunak books: Economics for the Many John McDonnell, 2018-11-06 Our economy is rigged in favour of a wealthy elite. We need a new approach: an economics for the many. Big challenges lie ahead for our society: the rise of automation and the threat of catastrophic climate change. But so, too, do the huge possibilities presented by new technology and better ways of organising our economy in the wake of neoliberalism’s failure. With the election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader, and the extraordinary turnaround in Labour’s fortunes in the 2017 election, we have a real opportunity to build an economy in Britain that is radically fairer, radically more democratic, and radically more sustainable. But we need the right ideas and strategies if we’re going to get there. Economics for the Many, edited and with an introduction by Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer John McDonnell, features contributions from the participants in his New Economics conferences, including Barry Gardiner, Ann Pettifor, Prem Sikka, and Guy Standing. It covers topics from housing, public ownership, and fairer international trading systems to industrial policy for the twenty-first century and how to tackle tax avoidance and regional imbalances. Together, the essays in this volume lay out a vision for a new economics, one that works for the many, not the few. |

| rishi sunak books: The British Prime Minister in an Age of Upheaval Mark Garnett, 2021-05-03 Even before the prolonged political crisis triggered by the 2016 EU referendum, and the unprecedented challenges to government posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, one could argue that a Prime Minister’s opportunities had become heavily compromised by unrealistic media-driven public expectations. In this timely book, leading analyst of UK politics Mark Garnett provides a re-assessment of the role of the British Prime Minister, from Margaret Thatcher’s controversial tenure to Boris Johnson’s autocratic post-Brexit regime. Taking a thematic approach, he explores the impact of major political developments and personalities on key aspects of the prime ministerial function as party leader, cabinet maker, chief diplomat and electoral talisman. Much of the controversy over the position of Prime Minister, he concludes, arises from a confusion between the occupant’s inevitable political prominence and his or her – often limited - ability to achieve positive policy outcomes. In view of the enforced resignations of David Cameron and Theresa May since the referendum, the book questions whether the nature of the job has become a deterrent for politicians who hope to find personal satisfaction in public service, opening the way for individuals with much less laudable motivations. |

| rishi sunak books: Red Knight Michael Ashcroft, 2021-08-19 Book of the Day – The Guardian Well-researched ... well-written ... even-handed ... balanced. – Baroness Hoey, The Critic Red Knight is well written and researched and, I think, pretty fair. – Daniel Finkelstein, The Times Ashcroft has done his research and he does tell us important things about Starmer. – The Independent Well-researched, fair and objective ... Lord Ashcroft's book is a great aid to answering questions [about Starmer] and posing a few more. – TCW Comprehensive. – The Tablet Surprisingly sympathetic. – MoneyWeek *** Sir Keir Starmer has played many parts during his life and career. He went from schoolboy socialist to radical lawyer before surprising many by joining the establishment, becoming Director of Public Prosecutions, accepting a knighthood and then, in 2015, standing successfully for Parliament. At Westminster, he was swiftly elevated to the shadow Cabinet, and in April 2020 he became the leader of the Labour Party. Michael Ashcroft's new book goes in search of the man who wants to be Prime Minister and reveals previously unknown details about him which help to explain what makes him tick. Starmer was the architect of Labour's second-referendum Brexit policy, which was considered a major factor in its worst electoral defeat for nearly a century. Is he the man to bring back Labour's lost voters? Is he the voice of competence and moderation who can put his party back on the political map? Or is he just a member of the metropolitan elite who is prepared to say and do whatever it takes to win favour? This meticulous examination of his life offers voters the chance to answer these vital questions. |

| rishi sunak books: £xcluded Voices Mandy Marsh, Maria Hennings Hunt, 2021-02-26 Most discriminations that we have in this world are relics of prejudices and biases centuries or even millennia old. In the UK, we are fortunate to live in a time where being treated negatively because of our sex, race, age, beliefs (if any) or any impairments is increasingly legally and morally wrong.However, in the spring of 2020 as the world fell under the horrors of COVID-19, life, as we knew it, came to an end.The British government announced a series of support packages - described as, Unprecedented and although support was very generous to many, it was not world-beating or in any measure the best. Billionaire Chancellor Rishi Sunak famously announced that, No-one will be left behind... or without hope. Yet that is exactly what proceeded to happen to some three million UK tax payers.In a time when it be rightfully abhorrent to discriminate against anyone due to their sex or race, religious beliefs or any other number of long-since taboo factors, the UK government went out of its way to discriminate against people solely due to their chosen, entirely legal and in my case, actually encouraged by the government, method of earning a living. Imagine going through the entire pandemic with all the worries of ill-health, death, worries for the future but on top of that, be unable and often legally not allowed to work but not receiving any government support whatsoever. Whilst, at the same time, others were helped time after time after time. If such a series of events were to happen in a far-off country there would be widespread outrage and condemnation by governments and opposition alike and yet here we are, over a year later since the first virus cases hit the UK - and nothing has changed. The government narrative would like you to believe that everyone has been helped. Yet the three million members of the club that no-one wanted to join, say differently - we tell the stories of ever worsening, poverty, debt, homelessness, discrimination, persecution and suicides. £xcluded Voices is a compilation of accounts of what may well be the last great state act of deliberate discrimination. It's told by the normal, everyday people that were once known as 'the back-bone of the British economy'. Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak, Oliver Dowden, Keir Starmer and many more might label us as fraudsters or even deny our existence, but history will tell a different story. One day people will look back at this less-known but deliberately enacted government policy disaster of the Coronavirus epidemic and wonder how it could happen in the third decade of 21st Century Britain. It is to the eternal shame of everyone who decided to ruin three million lives and also those others who were so well supported by the state they chose to look the other way. |

| rishi sunak books: Hope Under Oppression Katie Stockdale, 2021-06-17 We have all been told, at one time or another, to never give up hope. It's a common injunction to children, but as we grow older, sustaining hope becomes more challenging, particularly in a world we come to see as often frightening, dark, and unjust. But what is this thing hope, and why is hope so valuable that we are so often urged to preserve and protect it? This book explores the nature and essential role of hope in human life under conditions of oppression. Oppression is often a threat and damage to hope, yet many members of oppressed groups, including prominent activists pursuing a more just world, find hope valuable and even essential to their personal and political lives. Katie Stockdale offers a unique evaluative framework for hope that captures its intrinsic value, the rationality and morality of hope, and ultimately how we can hope well in the non-ideal world we share. She develops an account of the relationship between hope and anger about oppression and argues that when people are angry about oppression, they tend to also harbour hope for repair. When people's hopes for repair are not realized, as is often the case for those who are oppressed, their anger can evolve into bitterness. They feel unresolved anger as a result of losing hope that injustice will be sufficiently acknowledged and addressed. Fortunately, things do not have to be this way. Even when people may feel that they have lost all hope, faith can help them to be resilient in the face of oppression. They can join with others who share their experiences or commitments for a better world, uniting with them in collective action. By doing so, they can strengthen hope for the future when hope might otherwise be lost. Ultimately, this work illustrates the crucial value of hope for both individuals and collectives in the pursuit of justice, and in an increasingly uncertain world. |

| rishi sunak books: Jacob's Ladder Michael Ashcroft, 2019 Jacob Rees-Mogg is one of the most prominent and controversial figures in contemporary British politics. He is a man who divides opinion in his own party, in Parliament and across the country. An arch-Brexiteer with significant business interests and a large personal fortune, he has long been a vocal critic of the European Union and of Prime Minister Theresa May's attempts to negotiate a Brexit deal. As chairman of the powerful anti-EU organisation the European Research Group, he has also been a thorn in the side of those seeking to dilute Brexit. While many people mock him for his impeccable manners and traditional attitudes - he has been dubbed 'the Honourable Member for the eighteenth century' - an equally great number applaud him for his apparent conviction politics. Undoubtedly, Rees-Mogg stands out among the current crop of MPs and his growing influence cannot be ignored. In this wide-ranging unauthorised biography of the Conservative Member of Parliament for North East Somerset, Michael Ashcroft, bestselling author of Call Me Dave: The Unauthorised Biography of David Cameron, turns his attention to one of the most intriguing politicians of our time. |

| rishi sunak books: The Churchill Factor Boris Johnson, 2015-10-27 From London’s inimitable mayor, Boris Johnson, the New York Times–bestselling story of how Churchill’s eccentric genius shaped not only his world but our own. On the fiftieth anniversary of Churchill’s death, Boris Johnson celebrates the singular brilliance of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays—with characteristic wit and passion—a man of contagious bravery, breathtaking eloquence, matchless strategizing, and deep humanity. Fearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the king to stay out of action on D-day; he pioneered aerial bombing and few could match his experience in organizing violence on a colossal scale, yet he hated war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was the most famous journalist of his time and perhaps the greatest orator of all time, despite a lisp and the chronic depression he kept at bay by painting. His maneuvering positioned America for entry into World War II, even as it ushered in England’s postwar decline. His open-mindedness made him a trailblazer in health care, education, and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect. Most of all, he was a rebuttal to the idea that history is the story of vast and impersonal forces; he is proof that one person—intrepid, ingenious, determined—can make all the difference. |
| rishi sunak books: Indians in London Arup K. Chatterjee, 2021-07-30 In September 1600, Queen Elizabeth and London are made to believe that the East India Company will change England's fortunes forever. With William Shakespeare's death, the heart of Albion starts throbbing with four centuries of an extraordinary Indian settlement that Arup K. Chatterjee christens as Typogravia. In five acts that follow, we are taken past the churches destroyed by the fire of Pudding Lane; the late eighteenth-century curry houses in Mayfair and Marylebone; and the coming of Indian lascars, ayahs, delegates, students and lawyers in London. From the baptism of Peter Pope (in the year Shakespeare died) to the death of Catherine of Bengal; the chronicles of Joseph Emin, Abu Taleb and Mirza Ihtishamuddin to Sake Dean Mahomet's Hindoostane Coffee House; Gandhi's experiments in Holborn to the recovery of the lost manuscript of Tagore's Gitanjali in Baker Street; Jinnah's trysts with Shakespeare to Nehru's duels with destiny; Princess Sophia's defiance of the royalty to Anand establishing the Progressive Writers' Association in Soho; Aurobindo Ghose's Victorian idylls to Subhas Chandra Bose's interwar days; the four Indian politicians who sat at Westminster to the blood pacts for Pakistan; India in the shockwaves at Whitehall to India in the radiowaves at the BBC; the intrigues of India House and India League to hundreds of East Bengali restaurateurs seasoning curries and kebabs around Brick Lane... Indians in London is a scintillating adventure across the Thames, the Embankment, the Southwarks, Bloomsburys, Kensingtons, Piccadillys, Wembleys and Brick Lanes that saw a nation-a cultural, historical and literary revolution that redefined London over half a millennium of Indian migrations-reborn as independent India. |

| rishi sunak books: Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot John Lloyd, 2020-03-24 The Scottish nationalists seek to end the United Kingdom after 300 years of a successful union. Their drive for an independent Scotland is now nearer to success than it has ever been. Success would mean a diminished Britain and a perilously insecure Scotland. The nationalists have represented the three centuries of union with England as a malign and damaging association for Scotland. The European Union is held out as an alternative and a safeguard for Scotland's future. But the siren call of secession would lure Scotland into a state of radical instability, disrupting ties of work, commerce and kinship and impoverishing the economy. All this with no guarantee of growth in an EU now struggling with a downturn in most of its states and the increasing disaffection of many of its members. In this incisive and controversial book, journalist John Lloyd cuts through the rhetoric to show that the economic plans of the Scottish National Party are deeply unrealistic; the loss of a subsidy of as much as £10 billion a year from the Treasury would mean large-scale cuts, much deeper than those effected by Westminster; the broadly equal provision of health, social services, education and pensions across the UK would cease, leaving Scotland with the need to recreate many of these systems on its own; and the claim that Scotland would join the most successful of the world's small states - as Denmark, New Zealand and Norway - is no more than an aspiration with little prospect of success. The alternative to independence is clear: a strong devolution settlement and a joint reform of the British union to modernise the UK's age-old structures, reduce the centralisation of power and boost the ability of all Britain's nations and regions to support and unleash their creative and productive potential. Scotland has remained a nation in union with three other nations - England, Northern Ireland and Wales. It will continue as one, more securely in a familiar companionship. |
| rishi sunak books: Hired James Bloodworth (Columnist), 2019 We all define ourselves by our profession. But what if our job was demeaning, poorly paid, and tedious? Cracking open Britain's divisions journalist James Bloodworth spends six months living and working across Britain, taking on the country's most gruelling jobs. He lives on the meagre proceeds and discovers the anxieties and hopes of those he encounters, including working-class British, young students striving to make ends meet, and Eastern European immigrants. From the Staffordshire Amazon warehouse to the taxi-cabs of Uber, Bloodworth narrates how traditional working-class communities have been decimated by the move to soulless service jobs with no security, advancement or satisfaction. This is a gripping examination of Brexit Britain, a divided nation which needs to understand the true reality of how other people live and work before it can heal. |

| rishi sunak books: Creative Destruction Phil Mullan, 2017-03-29 Western economies have become stuck in a protracted depression that began long before the 2008 crash. Low productivity, which started in the 1970s, has prevented durable rises in living standards. Phil Mullan shows that the only way to ensure a better future is to create one, calling for a comprehensive economic restructure backed by political and cultural change. This means embracing the uncomfortable disruption involved in progressive change, rekindling in democratic form a spirit of Enlightenment thinking. The votes for Brexit and in the US presidential elections in 2016 indicate that many people desire change, offering greater opportunity for this public discussion. What is needed is a new industrial revolution which develops a broad range of emerging and yet unimagined services and products, provides decent jobs and restores prosperity. Providing examples of the new technologies needed to drive change, backed up by a wealth of data, this important book calls for a sea-change in imagination and thinking. |

| rishi sunak books: The Rise of Rishi Sunak Gopal Sharma, 2023-01-04 Rishi Sunak has already carved a niche for himself in history books by becoming the youngest British Prime Minister in 200 years and the first of Indian origin. But how much do you know about the new Prime Minister's roots? Research into Rishi's family history reveals an amazing tale of immigration and cultural exchange, set against the backdrop of British colonialism in Asia and Africa. Carrying his heritage forward, Rishi proudly identifies himself as British Indian. So what is his history? Seven years. That's all it took for Sunak to rise to the top of British politics. SUNAK'S IS A TRULY ASTONISHING POLITICAL STORY. Professor Gopal Sharma's book is a journey starting from the 1930s when Rishi's grandparents reached East Africa from Punjab and his father was born in 1949. From Gujranwala (India) to Leicester (England) the family reached in the 1960s.One of their goals was providing their sons and daughter the best possible education. Rishi's rise from his mother's pharmacy to the best schools, to the University of Oxford, and to Stanford University where he met the daughter of Infosys chairman is a saga worth preserving. In 2015, Rishi was elected Conservative MP for Richmond, Yorkshire. At the age of thirty-nine, he was Chancellor of the Exchequer. His yeoman service during the pandemic saved lives and he became the most popular Tory minister. This is the story of how he won the hearts and minds of his people and on the auspicious Diwali day he won the Tory contest to make history as Britain's first Indian-origin PM. The tale of the Rise of Rishi Sunak is told in ten chapters with fervor and élan to make the readers exclaim: That which we are, we are! |
| rishi sunak books: Our Boys Helen Parr, 2019-06-06 Our Boys brings to life the human experiences of the paratroopers who fought in the Falklands, and examines the long aftermath of that conflict. It is a first in many ways - a social and cultural history of a regiment with an elite and aggressive reputation; a study of close-quarters combat on the Falkland Islands; and an exploration of the many legacies of this short and symbolic war. Told through the experiences of people who lived through it, Our Boys shows how the Falklands conflict began to change Britain's relationship with its soldiers. It is also the story of one particular soldier- the author's uncle, who was killed during the conflict, and whose fate has haunted both the author and his fellow paratroopers ever since. |

| rishi sunak books: The Kingdom of Rishi Sunak Princess Williamson N, 2021-08-05 NON-POLITICAL BUT TRANSFORMATIONAL BOOK FOR EVERY LOVER OF POLITICS AND SOCIAL LIFESTYLE Rishi Sunak is a British politician who has been Chancellor of the Exchequer since February 2020. A member of the Conservative Party, he was previously Chief Secretary to the Treasury from July 2019 to February 2020. He grew up watching his parents serve the local community with dedication. His dad was an NHS family GP and his mum ran her own local chemist shop. He wanted to make that same positive difference to people as their Member of Parliament and he was first elected to represent the wonderful constituency in 2015 and re-elected in 2017 and 2019. He lives in Kirby Sigston, just outside Northallerton. He has been fortunate to enjoy a successful business career. He co-founded a large investment firm, working with companies from Silicon Valley to Bangalore. Then he used that experience to help small and entrepreneurial British companies grow successfully. From working in his mum's tiny chemist shop to experience building large businesses, he has seen first-hand how politicians should support free enterprise and innovation to ensure future prosperity. His parents sacrificed a great deal so he could attend good schools. He was lucky to study at Winchester College, Oxford University, and Stanford University. That experience changed his life and as a result, he is passionate about ensuring everybody has access to a great education. He has been a school governor, a board member of a large youth club, and has always volunteered time to education programs that spread opportunity. In July 2019 he was appointed Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having entered Government service as the Minister for Local Government in January 2018. In February 2020, he had the honor to be appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. GRAB YOUR COPY NOW |
