The week… Rishi Sunak hopes for an economic victory – POLITICO

Two of Westminster’s most connected journalists, Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Jack Blanchard, walk you through their top predictions for the next seven days on British politics.

This week the government hopes to see the inflation rate hit the Bank of England’s 2% target as Rishi Sunak aims to claim a victory for some of his decisions in Number 10.

Additionally, this is an important week for public inquiries. We receive the long-awaited final report from the infected blood inquiry, Paula Vennells will be questioned about her role as Post Office CEO and Cabinet Secretary Simon Case will appear at the COVID hearing.

Meanwhile, Vaughan Gething, the new first minister of Wales, came under pressure after accepting a £200,000 donation to his leadership campaign from a company owned by a man twice convicted of crimes environmental. Will he face a vote of no confidence?
