LONDON: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak named an experienced Cabinet to lead the UK through what he called a “profound economic crisis,” only to face immediate criticism for reappointing a series of scandal-hit former ministers to senior government jobs.
Sunak confirmed Jeremy Hunt would remain Chancellor of the Exchequer, as the new premier vows to “fix” the economic mistakes made by his predecessor Liz Truss. But Downing Street was unable to confirm if Hunt would stick to his plan to outline the government’s spending and tax strategy on October 31.
