Rishi Sunak has pledged to deliver on the promises of the 2019 Tory manifesto - which could force him into a number of tricky U-turns.
In his first speech after being appointed Prime Minister without a single vote cast, the PM claimed the three-year-old pledges gave him a "mandate" as he resisted calls for a snap General Election.
"I will deliver on its promise," he pledged - rubbishing claims by Boris Johnson's supporters that only he had the authority to lead the country.
