Sunak's First Year as UK PM: Stabilizing After Turbulence, But Labour Still Leads in Polls

Sunak became UK PM in October 2022 after defeating Truss. Had early successes with budget and Brexit deal.

Faced challenges like rail strikes, high energy costs, cabinet scandals in late 2022 and early 2023.

Scored some foreign policy wins with deals with US, Australia. But struggled in local elections.

Pushed back against some climate policies in bid to divide Labour. But still faces rumblings from Tory right.

After a year, Sunak has stabilized things but still trails Labour in polls ahead of 2024 election.
