TL;DR Summary

UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who initially stepped into the role to bring calm after a tumultuous period, is now facing challenges in restoring the Conservative Party's standing with the public. Recent surveys have shown his worst-ever personal ratings, and ministers and senior Conservatives acknowledge the pressure and the vanishingly narrow path to turning the situation around. The public's frustration with the government's unfulfilled promises, coupled with issues like inflation and various crises, has contributed to a sense that the country is not functioning well. Downing Street's attempts to change the mood have failed, and the government is now considering more eye-catching and adventurous strategies to regain public support, focusing on themes like crime and welfare. However, the Conservatives face the difficulty of running persuasive campaigns without clear dividing lines with their rivals, as they did in previous elections. Sunak's moves in the coming months will be crucial in determining whether he can prevent the sinking ship of the Conservative Party.
