A wrong move can put Boris Johnson's government at risk of facing flak from unemployed voters. The UK's Indian-origin finance minister, who is at the forefront of the economic response to the coronavirus pandemic and has spearheaded as wide range of measures to protect jobs, said that while the country was yet to fulfil the technical definition of a recession - two successive quarters of falling activity - it was only a matter of time.

Sunak had leap-frogged out of a successful — if not altogether dazzling — hedge-fund career into another league altogether.
He was held for five days without food or water and ordered to leave the country via Istanbul, for the crime of asking questions about life in Bulgaria. In , he founded Infosys with six colleagues. Mr and Mrs Murthy are now middle-class heroes in India, with both seen as projecting a soft nationalist, religious aura. Her daughter, a source confirmed, was not amused. In , Akshata and Sunak were married in a two-day ceremony in Bangalore, attended by Indian politicians and celebrities. He not only trusted, but rated, him enough to make him a director at Catamaran Investment, his private family investment vehicle.
Having joined the world of the plutocrats, Sunak decided to enter politics. Quite why is a matter of debate. Many in Westminster see his motivation as status. The scruffy but influential Conservative think tank world is seen as a de facto holding pen for future special advisers, but it was nonetheless an unexpectedly technical way into Westminster for someone with means.
Sunak quickly made an impression. Sunak cut a snappy figure amid slovenly suits. Everything Sunak wears, many remarked, is immaculate, even at the end of a Treasury work day, and fits perfectly. Sunak takes his parliamentary oath to the Queen on the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita.

If I did that my wife would have my head for dinner.
Sunak is a No 10 man. Boris Johnson, Carrie Symonds and Michael Gove are all fans, Sunak impressing them with his smooth performance in the election. But also with his attitude. He struck the right note, in the right place, at the right time. It was Sunak, with high skills and no clear agenda or faction behind him in parliament, whom Downing Street turned to. He quickly agreed to the joint team, once again becoming the perfect foil for an outsized boss.
And at first, Sunak was mocked as a puppet chancellor. But Treasury officials are impressed: this is a minister who can absorb the data.
