The newly emerged UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made his first public speech after victory, he stated that the country is facing a "profound economic crisis" and noted that the mistakes were made by his predecessor Liz Truss. Sunak called for the need for trust in his government.“This government will have integrity, professionalism, and accountability at every level. Trust is earned and I will earn yours,” he said.“I fully appreciate how hard things are,” Mr. Sunak said. Also, the former Prime Minster, Liz Truss had tendered her resignation to the King after her final speech, while wishing Sunak success as he rules the country, the King was graciously pleased to accept Ms. Truss's resignation.

A strong theme of Rishi Sunak’s speech was economic stability amid the cost-of-living crisis. He had a sober tone as he said that he will “place economic stability and confidence at the heart of this government’s agenda.” “This will mean difficult decisions to come,” he warned.

Mr. Sunak said: “The Government I lead will not leave the next generation, your children and grandchildren, with a debt to settle that we were too weak to pay ourselves.“I will unite our country, not with words, but with action.“I will work day in and day out to deliver for you.”

Admitting mistakes were made during earlier speech as Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak said: “I want to pay tribute to my predecessor, Liz Truss.“She was not wrong to want to improve growth in this country - it is a noble aim.“I admired her restlessness to create change - but some mistakes were made.“Not born of ill-will or bad intention - quite the opposite in fact.“But mistakes, nonetheless.”
