evidence: LONDON (AP) — Rishi Sunak's campaign to remain Britain's prime minister showed a lack of political touch. [...] Born in 1980 in Southampton on England’s south coast to parents of Indian descent, Sunak became Britain’s first leader of color and the first Hindu to become prime minister. At 42, he was Britain's youngest leader for more than 200 years. [...] Long a low-tax, small-state politician despite the high-spending nature of that package, Sunak had a record of idolizing former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Smooth, confident and at ease with the march of modern technology, Sunak was dubbed "Dishy Rishi" and quickly became one of the most trusted and popular faces within Johnson’s administration during the rigors of the pandemic.
