Rishi Sunak has formally become the new Prime Minister and insists he is "not daunted" despite the challenges awaiting him in office. Following Liz Truss' record-setting short stint at Number 10 her replacement., the former chancellor, has the task of restoring the country's economic stability and, arguably more importantly, regaining the trust of the public.
With Mr Sunak having taken on the UK's top job politically we wanted to understand his stance to date on LGBT+ issues. In 2016, the year after he was elected MP for Richmond in Yorkshire, the 42-year-old voted in favour of repealing the Human Rights Act 1998, which brought the European Convention on Human Rights into the UK's law. The ECHR in regards to the LGBT+ community prohibits discrimination and inhumane treatment on the basis of a person's sexual preference or gender identity.
