Sunak had arrived at the Palace around 10:15am to meet the King, shortly after Liz Truss tendered her resignation letter to the King in the same Palace.

Sunak will be UK’s third leader in seven weeks after winning a Tory leadership contest triggered by Truss stepping down.
After being selected by Tory MPs on Monday, Sunak warned the country faced a “profound economic challenge.”

He ruled out an early general election, despite calls from Labour, the Scottish National Party, the Liberal Democrats, and the Green Party.

The new prime minister made his own statement around 11:35am as he arrived at No 10 Downing Street.

Sunak is the first person of colour, the first British-Asian, and the first Hindu to lead the United Kingdom.
