"All I can say is that I am not daunted." Rishi Sunak has given his first speech outside Downing Street after being appointed as UK prime minister by King Charles. He said Liz Truss was right to want to improve growth and that was a “noble aim”, but added that "mistakes were made" and he had been elected to fix them. Sunak also paid tribute to Boris Johnson “for his incredible achievements as prime minister” and said the mandate earned by the Conservative party in 2019 does not belong to any individual: "It is a mandate that belongs to and unites all of us." The former chancellor, who resigned dramatically from Johnson’s government in July, has become the third Conservative prime minister in less than two months and the fifth in six years. Sunak takes on the role at a time of deep economic crisis, and is expected to make tough decisions on taxation and public spending that may prove unpopular. He is expected to announce who will be in his cabinet soon. Follow the link in bio for his full speech and the latest updates. #RishiSunak #PrimeMinister #Conservative #UKPolitics #Politics
