Rishi Sunak's five pledges are difficult to deliver, Grant Shapps says
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's five key pledges to voters are "difficult" but the government is committed to delivering them, Energy Secretary Grant Shapps has said.
In January, Mr Sunak vowed to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce national debt, cut NHS waiting lists and stop migrant boats.
Mr Shapps on Sunday urged people to wait before judging the PM's promises.
But Labour said the government's policy agenda lacked ambition.
It's not easy to know what is going on here. Is Labour saying that Mr Sunak's government should have failed on a more ambitious and altogether grander scale?
Yet both parties already have plans to change global weather patterns via recycling yogurt pots allied to totalitarian politics. The grandest, most ambitious of ambitious failures seems to be baked into that one. Something for them to share one day.

They should add a sixth pledge: to make the weather nice, for everyone, all the time.
At least they are not promising the impossible, like reforming the BBC, universities, the NHS, and the Civil Service.
I think we've all had enough of these empty promises!
Just about every PM has muttered some sort of vague edict, and the only one who actually did anything positive was the blessed Margaret!
Sunak is well down the list of people I'll vote for in future...
The government seem to be doing nothing serious on any of those pledges. At least they're scrapping all EU laws though...
...oh, wait
Well,we read that Kier Starmer is proposing to make working from home, an entitlement for the employed. Very ambitious! Not at all the ambition of a failed party leader, groping his way towards electability in his 'out of touch' way.?
Sam - yes they wisely steer clear of the impossible, or government as we used to call it.
Scrobs - he's not on my list at all, neither is Starmer. I can't bring myself to vote for more of the same whatever the consequences.
Bucko - the civil service will have told them to hold back on that one, not that they were unwilling of course.
Tammly - could be tricky for bricklayers, bus drivers, lifeguards, police... It's just words for a headline isn't it?
