"Sunak's Marbles Mishap: Fallout and Economic Blowback"

UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak faced criticism for his handling of the diplomatic dispute with Greece over the custody of the Parthenon Marbles. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed disappointment over Sunak's decision to cancel their meeting, but believed it would not impact bilateral ties. Opposition leader Keir Starmer accused Sunak of "losing his marbles" and engaging in "small politics." The marbles, currently housed in the British Museum, were removed from Athens in the 19th century. The UK and Greece have been in a briefing war over the canceled visit, with conflicting claims about the issue's discussion.
