Britain's new prime minister, Rishi Sunak, said on Tuesday he would try to fix the mess left by his predecessor, restore faith in politics and tackle a "profound economic crisis" but warned the country there would be difficult decisions.
Standing in front of his Downing Street office, Sunak paid tribute to Liz Truss, whose economic programme roiled the markets, saying the mistakes she made were not "born of ill will or bad intentions".
By claiming that the mandate the Conservatives received in the 2019 election, which the former prime minister won, was not the property of a single person and that he would be governed by its promises, he also took a shot at another predecessor, Boris Johnson.
"I would like to honour my predecessor, Liz Truss. Some errors were committed. not a result of malice or evil intent. In actuality, the exact opposite. However, mistakes do happen "added said.
And part of the reason I was chosen to lead my party and serve as your prime minister is to fix them. And the task gets started right away. I'll prioritise fostering confidence and economic stability as the top priorities for our administration. This will result in future difficult decisions.
Sunak, one of the wealthiest members of parliament, made an appeal to the public while warning them about rising energy and food prices, saying he understood how difficult life was for many people.
"I can only say that I am not intimidated. I am aware of the high position I have taken, and I intend to fulfil its requirements," he stated.
