Akshata Murty Makes Surprise Appearance as Warm-Up Act
Rishi Sunak, Chancellor of the Exchequer, had a surprise up his sleeve at the Tory conference yesterday. His wife, businesswoman Akshata Murty, took the stage as his warm-up act and delivered a touching tribute before his big speech. Not only did she impress the audience with her words, but she also caught the eye with her stylish £385 suit from London firm The Fold.
Partners & Best Friends
During her speech, Murty emphasized the strong bond she shares with Sunak. "The reason why I am here is really quite simple, and it is because Rishi and I are each other's best friends," she revealed. The couple's partnership has always been a source of strength, and Murty expressed her unwavering support for her husband and the Conservative Party.
A British Story
In his own speech, Rishi Sunak spoke about the "true British story" that his immigrant family began three generations ago, and how he now holds the highest office in the country. He passionately defended Britain against accusations of racism, stating, "Never let anyone tell you that this is a racist country. It is not." Sunak highlighted his own journey from humble beginnings in Richmond, North Yorkshire, to 10 Downing Street, and remarked that his background was never seen as a barrier by his constituents.
The Tory Promise to Immigrants
Addressing the question of what the Conservative Party could offer immigrants, Sunak made a powerful assertion: "The chance to become Prime Minister." He pointed out that he is not alone in having an immigrant background within the Cabinet, referencing Home Secretary Suella Braverman and other members. Sunak's words aimed to send a clear message that the Conservative Party values diversity and offers equal opportunity to all.
