Rishi Sunak Career

Sunak worked as an analyst for the investment bank Goldman Sachs between 2001 and 2004. He then worked for hedge fund management firm the Children's Investment Fund Management, becoming a partner in September 2006. He left in November 2009 to join former colleagues in California at a new hedge fund firm, Theleme Partners, which launched in October 2010 with $700 million under management. At both hedge funds, his boss was Patrick Degorce. Sunak was also a director of the investment firm Catamaran Ventures, owned by his father-in-law, the Indian businessman N. R. Narayana Murthy of Infosys, between 2013 and 2015.

Early political career

Sunak joined the Conservative Party in 2010. He was selected as the Conservative candidate for Richmond (Yorks) in October 2014, defeating Wendy Morton. The seat was previously held by William Hague, a former leader of the party who had served in various cabinet positions under David Cameron. The seat is one of the safest Conservative seats in the United Kingdom and has been held by the party for over 100 years. In the same year Sunak was head of the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Research Unit of centre-right think tank Policy Exchange, for which he co-wrote a report on BME communities in the UK. He was elected as MP for the constituency at the 2015 general election with a majority of 19,550 (36.2%). During the 2015–2017 parliament he was a member of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee.

Sunak supported the successful Vote Leave campaign for the UK to leave the European Union in the June 2016 EU membership referendum. That year, he wrote a report for the Centre for Policy Studies (a Thatcherite think tank) supporting the establishment of free ports after Brexit, and the following year wrote a report advocating the creation of a retail bond market for small and medium-sized enterprises. Following Cameron's resignation, Sunak endorsed Michael Gove in the 2016 Conservative Party leadership election, and later endorsed successful candidate Theresa May after Gove was eliminated in the second round of voting.

Sunak was re-elected at the 2017 general election, with an increased majority of 23,108 (40.5%). In 2017, Sunak described the importance and fragility of Britain's undersea infrastructure. He served as parliamentary under-secretary of state for local government between January 2018 and July 2019. Sunak voted for Theresa May's Brexit withdrawal agreement on all three occasions, and voted against a second referendum on any withdrawal agreement. May's withdrawal agreement was rejected by Parliament three times, leading to May announcing her resignation in May 2019.

Sunak supported Boris Johnson in the 2019 Conservative Party leadership election and co-wrote an article with fellow MPs Robert Jenrick and Oliver Dowden to advocate for Johnson during the campaign in June.

Following Johnson's appointment as Conservative leader and prime minister, Sunak appointed him as Chief Secretary to the Treasury on 24 July 2019, serving under Chancellor Sajid Javid. He became a member of the Privy Council the next day. Sunak was re-elected as the MP for Richmond (Yorks) in the 2019 general election with an increased majority of 27,210 (47.2%). During the campaign, Sunak represented the Conservatives in the BBC's and ITV's seven-way election debates.

Britain will face harsh questions on rising levels of labour inactivity and cuts in national insurance contributions when inspectors from the International Monetary Fund arrive next month. 'One area we need to look at is the quality of health care and another is the way disability is reported,' Helge Berger, a top IMF official for Europe said. His comments came in the wake of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's pledge to crack down on the surging health benefit bill in the UK.

Leicester fans have fallen out of love with Enzo Maresca and the heat is on Southampton boss Russell Martin as rivals stumble in the Championship promotion race

Promotion to the Premier League is one of the most lucrative prizes in sport but nobody in the Championship seems to want to claim it. One after another, Leicester, Leeds United and Ipswich have stumbled in recent weeks, allowing Southampton back into the race for automatic promotion when it seemed only three weeks ago that the play-offs were the best they could hope for. Saints are the side with momentum and their clash with Leicester at King Power Stadium on Tuesday looks pivotal. Before that, Leicester have an equally tricky fixture at home to West Brom on Saturday.

The Fylde MP has been suspended from the party whip and dropped as one of the PM's trade envoys. Mr Menzies disputes the allegations and the Tory Party has said it is looking into the claims and takes them seriously. Now, in a statement on Friday evening, a Lancashire Police spokesperson has said: 'We can confirm that we have now received a letter detailing concerns around this matter and we are in the process of reviewing the available information in more detail.' After a speech in London this morning, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak dodged when asked whether Mr Menzies should stand down from the Commons.
