INCOMING prime minister Rishi Sunak has spoken for the first time since he won the Tory leadership contest - with a speech lasting just under a minute and a half.
The former chancellor was beaten in this summer's Tory leadership race by Liz Truss, who was forced to stand down last week after her disastrous mini-budget caused the UK economy to crash, but has been appointed the UK's new PM after effectively running unopposed.
Following his coronation, Sunak headed to Conservative HQ in London to meet with MPs and was pictured posing outside with his supporters who cheered his arrival.
