Rishi Sunak's wide-eyed expression during 'very odd' speech suggested fear, says expert

Rishi Sunak gave a wide-eyed expression that suggested his fear during a "very odd" 86-second speech after becoming Conservative leader, a body language expert has said.

Mr Sunak said he was "humbled and honoured" to get the backing of Tory MPs, who handed him the keys to No10. In a televised address, he also pledged to provide "stability and unity" after weeks of Tory-inflicted chaos. He also paid tribute to his crisis-hit predecessor Liz Truss, and described her seven-week stint in Downing Street as leading with "dignity and grace through a time of great change". But according to body language expert Judi James, it was a "bizarre" speech that had no "charm or warmth".
