Britain’s new Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, said on October 25, 2022, he would try to fix the mess left by his predecessor, restore faith in politics and tackle a “profound economic crisis” but warned the country there would be difficult decisions.
Standing in front of his Downing Street office, Mr. Sunak paid tribute to Liz Truss, whose economic program roiled the markets, saying the mistakes she made were not “born of ill will or bad intentions”. Mr. Sunak spoke for five minutes and 56 seconds—longer than the time taken by nearly all of his predecessors when they made similar remarks at the start of their premiership, TheIndependent newspaper reported.
