Panicking Sunak Scrambles in Final Push to Save His Seat Rishi Sunak, the beleaguered Chancellor of the Exchequer, is reportedly in a state of panic as the final weekend of campaigning for the December 12 general election draws near. Sunak is facing a tough battle to retain his own seat in Richmond (Yorks), which has been traditionally held by the Conservative Party. According to sources close to the Chancellor, Sunak has been making increasingly desperate attempts to shore up support in his constituency. He has been spotted knocking on doors, attending local events, and even offering to buy voters a pint at the pub. The panic stems from a recent poll that showed Sunak trailing his Labour opponent, Daisy Cooper, by a margin of 10 points. The poll also indicated that a significant number of voters in Richmond (Yorks) are dissatisfied with Sunak’s handling of the economy. “Sunak is sweating bullets,” said one Conservative insider. “He knows that every vote counts, and he’s doing everything he can to win over the electorate.” Sunak’s opponents have seized on his nervousness and are portraying him as a weak and ineffective leader. Cooper has accused Sunak of “running scared” and of “losing touch with the concerns of ordinary people.” “Rishi Sunak has failed to deliver on his promises and has made life harder for people in Richmond (Yorks),” said Cooper. “It’s time for a change.” As the campaign enters its final hours, Sunak is pulling out all the stops to save his seat. He has hired a team of political consultants to help him with his messaging and has even enlisted the support of Prime Minister Boris Johnson. However, whether Sunak’s last-minute efforts will be enough to overcome the challenge posed by Cooper remains to be seen. The results of the December 12 election will determine not only Sunak’s political future but also the fate of the Conservative government.Rishi Sunak’s Labour opponent, Tom Wilson, has accused Sunak of “panicking” as he campaigns to keep his Richmond and Northallerton seat.
