00:00 I suspect so, but Rishi Sunak has spent not all of his career,

00:07 because he had a hint of land in finance, and there are many who

00:11 believe he will go back to that after the next election, but for the

00:14 time being he wants to continue as Prime Minister, certainly up to the

00:17 election, as to what the result will be, and what you are alluding to

00:21 there is research that was carried out which suggested on the base of the

00:24 polling that occurred for the local elections, it is going to be much

00:28 closer than perhaps the opinion polls would indicate, and it will be a

00:31 hung Parliament. I believe that we will probably still have an outright

00:36 majority, but the next number of months, certainly until the election

00:40 occurs, which is likely to be at the end of this year, and if at all

00:43 possible to get into hung Parliament territory, which of course will mean

00:48 that, as I say, that would be a success from where they are at the

00:51 moment. So yes, he is in a difficult position, but until something

00:55 radically changes, he is going to continue fighting on.

00:58 of fighting on.
