Rishi Sunak has used his first speech as prime minister to warn that the UK is in the grip of an economic crisis as he vowed to fix “mistakes” made by Liz Truss and win back voters’ trust.
Addressing the nation in a sombre tone and without the usual throng of supporters to clap the PM into No 10, Sunak warned there would be “difficult decisions to come” in an attempt to regain economic stability and avoid borrowing mounting up.
