Decoding Rishi Sunak’s High-Stakes Move: Boldness or Desperation?

British politics has once again taken a turn with the cabinet reshuffle ushered in by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak this week. The sacking of Suella Braverman as Home Secretary and the return of former Prime Minister David Cameron as Foreign Secretary can be viewed both as a desperate gambit by a flailing leader to restore his leadership within and outside the party as well as a dramatic step to redraw the contours of the emerging political contest ahead of elections next year. Whichever way you look at it, the spotlight is now back on Sunak as he comes to grip with the consequences of the decisions he has made.

Global Impacts of The Killings in Gaza

The war will have an impact on societies worldwide with a rise in anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and generalized xenophobia, weakening democracy in general.

This will have an impact, less directly lethal but no less malign, on societies around the world, with a rise in anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and generalized xenophobia, strengthening conspiracy theorists and extreme right-wing parties, and weakening democracy, in general.
