ELECTION TRACKER Truth test: Which politicians can be trusted - and which need busted?

Jess Urquhart has created an Election Tracker, which measures whether or not our leaders have been doing what they said they would. We asked her to focus on leading politicians' policies on topics that could sway the youth vote. Here's her verdict RISHI SUNAK Palestine Sunak has bent to the will of US President Joe Biden. In April, Sunak said that the UK “stands by Israel's rights to defend itself”. After Biden called for a 6-8 week ceasefire, only then did Sunak change his mind – nine days after three British aid workers were killed by the IDF in Gaza. He will continue arms sales to Israel and is arguably only willing to speak up on a ceasefire if America tells him to. No consistency.
