His final two pledges were to cut NHS waiting lists and to pass new laws which would stop small boats arriving in the country
Speaking in east London, the Prime Minister said that the UK Government would "halve inflation this year to ease the cost of living and give people financial security."
Sunak said: "First, we will halve inflation this year to ease the cost of living and give people financial security. SNP Westminster Leader Stephen Flynn MP said: "[Sunak] spoke at length about improving numeracy - yet offered no hope to those weighed down by the harsh figures that are preventing them from heating their homes, putting food on the table or paying their mortgages.
"Instead, the Prime Minister made five flimsy promises, whilst people in Scotland are paying the price of five Tory Prime Ministers over the last thirteen years. Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and now Sunak have all made plenty of promises - what they have actually delivered is austerity, Brexit and a denial of Scottish democracy.
"For weeks this speech was hyped up as his big vision – now he’s delivered it, the country is entitled to ask: is that it?"
