Rishi Sunak formally appointed as Prime Minister

He is the youngest PM in over 200 years and the first British Asian to hold the post

It’s all been moving very fast today – Liz Truss out – Rishi Sunak in.

There were no rousing words of optimism from the new Prime Minister today, more realism perhaps, a matter of fact appeal to the country. To give him and opportunity to restore trust and stability after a wounding few months for his party.

His cabinet is well underway a cabinet which, I suppose, is trying to reach across a divided party.

Dominic Raab returns as Deputy Prime Minister – Jeremy Hunt stays as Chancellor – Michael Gove is making a return.
