Rishi Sunak took aim at Liz Truss during his first address to the nation as prime minister saying "mistakes were made" while she was in office.
The new Prime Minister spoke on the steps of No 10 Downing Street after he was formally appointed by King Charles at Buckingham Palace. Sunak replaces Liz Truss who became the shortest-serving Prime Minister in UK history after being in office for just 49 days.
Sunak's first speech as PM lasted five minutes and 56 seconds - longer than all of the equivalent speeches by prime ministers in recent decades except for Boris Johnson in 2019, who spoke for 11 minutes and 13 seconds.
