Political leaders in Wirral reacted to the news that Rishi Sunak will be the UK’s new Prime Minister.
Mr Sunak will succeed Liz Truss after she resigned last week after only six weeks in office. The first Asian person to hold the position, Mr Sunak was publicly supported by more than 193 MPs.
He was the only candidate to reach the threshold of 100 MPs to go into the next round of the leadership contest after Penny Mourdant, Mr Sunak’s last competitor for the job, dropped out at the last minute paving the way for him to take on the role.
