Rishi Sunak is facing scrutiny from Labour over his past role at a hedge fund that engineered a deal central to the financial crisis. Labour's Darren Jones has called for Sunak to be cross-examined about the deal, which regulators identified as a key factor in the collapse of RBS. Labour has accused Sunak of 'betting against Britain' and profiting from the financial turmoil, making a fortune before his career in politics. This issue is expected to be a significant point in upcoming political debates.
