What to expect from Rishi Sunak, the new UK PM

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 25 October 2022

Rishi Sunak has vowed to bring stability and unity to the UK as the country's next Prime Minister.

The former treasurer is taking over the reins after the brief - but chaotic - tenure of Liz Truss.

He won the Conservative Party leadership contest overnight after his sole rival, Penny Mordaunt, pulled out of the Tory leadership race at the last minute.

Sunak has acknowledged the country's "profound economic challenge" in the face of headwinds including double-digit inflation and rising interest rates.

UK think tank Onward deputy director and former Parliamentary advisor Adam Hawksbee spoke to Corin Dann.
