The twists and turns in the design of the lectern used by Liz Truss foreshadowed the drama to come during her brief spell as prime minister
(Picture: Reuters)Rishi Sunak made his first address as the new prime minister on Tuesday which saw a new lectern outside No 10 Downing Street and the highly anticipated return of the so-called Hot Podium Guy.
The UK has had six prime ministers since 2010 and each has chosen a different lectern, perhaps reflecting their personalities. Mr Sunak had chosen a “solid and stable” lectern, maybe a symbol of what is to come, as he confirmed he would strive to “fix” mistakes made by the Government.
