Rishi Sunak is already 4/1 to leave job as PM - and be replaced by Boris Johnson

Rishi Sunak is already 4/1 to leave his role as Prime Minister next year - despite not officially taking it on yet. Although Mr Sunak was elected as Conservative Party leader on Monday, he has not yet taken over from Liz Truss as Prime Minister.

The formalities of the handover have not yet been confirmed, with Ms Truss having to go to see the King to tender her resignation before Mr Sunak does the same and is asked to form a government. It is possible that will happen on Tuesday.

That hasn't stopped the bookies doing their thing, though, and Betfair Exchange already has Mr Sunak at a fairly short 4/1 to leave the job in 2023. Let's not forget that 2023 is only a little over two months away.
