Sunak assured the Indian delegation of his government's full support in deepening the strategic partnership between the two nations, particularly in areas such as trade, defense, and science and technology. The Indian High Commission expressed their appreciation for Sunak's gesture and said that it looks forward to Barrow's visit to India soon.

In a 4,000-word opinion piece in The Sunday Telegraph newspaper, she described Sunak's increase of corporation tax from 19 to 25 per cent as "economically detrimental". She went on to write - in an unmistakable criticism of the current prime minister's handling of the economy - that she wanted to change things as prime minister and "not manage decline or to preside over our country sliding into stagnation".

The leftist Guardian's heading was: "Ratings sink and obstacles amass as Sunak completes first 100 days as PM." The left-of-centre Independent highlighted: "Scandals, sackings and U-turns: Rishi Sunak's first 100 days in the job." But most damaging of all, the right-wing pro ruling Conservative party Daily Mail bemoaned: "Rishi Sunak mocked for "migraine-inducing" new video to mark his first 100 days in office."

An investigation by the UK Prime Minister's ethics adviser, Laurie Magnus, concluded that Zahawi had made a "serious breach" of the code by not telling officials he was under investigation by the tax body when he was appointed chancellor by former PM Boris Johnson, The Guardian reported.

A series of amendments to the long-debated Online Safety Bill will propose that all porn websites must implement age verification systems within six months of the bill becoming law. This follows a planned rebellion by Tory MPs earlier this month that prompted Sunak to agree to demands for Big Tech directors to face jail time if they fail to remove harmful content. 

The incident occurred while he was filming a video, to promote the government's latest round of "levelling up" spending, in Lancashire, during a trip across the north of England, the BBC reported. The video was posted on Sunak's Instagram account. Lancashire Police said it had issued a 42-year-old man in London with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty.

When asked during an interview with BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme if he was or had ever been registered with a private GP, Mr Sunak replied: "Healthcare was a personal choice." "I grew up in an NHS family. My dad was a doctor, and a mum who was pharmacist," The BBC quoted the UK Prime Minister as saying.

Sunak provided five promises: to halve inflation in 2023, grow the economy, make sure the national debt is falling, to ensure a fall in the National Health Service (NHS) waiting list, and to pass new laws to swiftly detain and remove illegal immigrants. The UK's coveted, completely free NHS has increasingly struggled under the higher demand over winter, because of staff shortages, aggravated by strikes by nurses and ambulance workers.

The cover story is to be entitled: "No 10's Chatelaine: INSIDE THE SECRET WORLD OF MRS SUNAK". The edition - available from January 5 - will reportedly carry an extensive profile of Akshata, fashion designer and venture capitalist daughter of one of the founders of the Bengaluru-based Indian software giant Infosys, N.R. Narayana Murthy, and educationist and writer Sudha Murthy.

Sunak visited a shelter on Friday, where after a brief exchange he asked the man whether he worked in business, The Guardian reported. The man replied that he was homeless. Sunak then discussed his background in the finance industry and asked if it would be something the man would "like to get into". The man replied: "I wouldn't mind, but I don't know, I'd like to get through Christmas first," The Guardian reported.
