Rishi Sunak says he was elected to ‘fix’ Truss’s mistakes in his first speech as prime minister.

He made this statement while speaking outside Number 10, on Tuesday Morning.

The former chancellor praised his predecessor’s “restlessness” and her “noble aim” to improve economic growth in the UK.

But, he added: “Some mistakes were made, not born of ill will or bad intentions – quite the opposite in fact – but mistakes nonetheless.”

 

After walking up Downing Street with no supporters present and with a serious face, Mr. Sunak reiterated his comments from yesterday, saying the country was “facing a profound economic crisis” and there were “difficult decisions” to come.

But he pledged to approach the problems with “compassion” and “to place economic stability and confidence at the heart of this government’s agenda”.

The new PM added: “The government I lead will not leave the next generation, your children and grandchildren, with a debt to settle that we were too weak to pay ourselves.”

 

Liz Truss lays down the gauntlet to Rishi Sunak in final speech as UK prime minister

 

Liz Truss, in her final speech, on Tuesday, as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, urged her successor, Rishi Sunak, to “be bold” as she laid down the gauntlet by suggesting he should continue cutting taxes and keep the planned rise in defence spending.

Truss acknowledged she had served for a “short period”, but trumpeted achievements including helping millions be able to afford energy bills and stopping thousands of businesses from going bankrupt, as well as taking steps to ensure greater energy resilience.

She said it had been an honour to lead the nation in mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth and welcoming the accession of King Charles III, and reiterated her support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
