New Chancellor of the Exchequer Nadhim Zahawi said the reason he has taken the job is he believes the team in Government will “deliver”, adding “there are no easy answers”.
Mr Zahawi was given the job last night following the resignation of Rishi Sunak from the key Government role. Mr Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid were the highest-profile resignations amongst a raft of people protesting the Government's handling of recent crises - including the news around deputy chief whip Chris Pincher's inappropriate behaviour.
Mr Zahawi told Sky News: “You don’t go into this job to have an easy life. You make some tough decisions every day. Sometimes it’s easy to walk away but actually it’s much tougher to deliver for the country.”
