Sunak accepted Charles' appointment and officially took office as the new British Prime Minister
This morning (October 25), the new leader of the British ruling Conservative Party, Rich Sunak , was authorized by the British King Charles III to form a new cabinet, and officially took office as the British Prime Minister .
Sunak has also become the first Prime Minister appointed after Charles succeeded to the King of England.
42-year-old Sunak is the first Indian Prime Minister in the UK, the youngest Prime Minister in the UK in more than 200 years, and the third Prime Minister in the UK in less than two months.
Sunak delivered his first national speech, saying that he would correct the mistakes made by Tras
After meeting with King Charles III of England and being invited to form a new government, Sunak returned to No. 10 Downing Street, , and delivered a national speech as prime minister for the first time.
Sunak first thanked former Prime Minister Tras for his dedication to the country and admired her "courage to carry out profound reforms", but said that Tras "made some mistakes."
Sunak said that he was appointed as the head of the Conservative Party and the British Prime Minister in part to solve these problems.
Sunak said he will provide stability for the economy, but that means "a lot of difficult decisions will be made."
Sunak also said that he "will unite the country with actions rather than language". He is ready to lead the country "towards the future" and put "the needs of the country above politics."
Sunak also listed major issues that will be committed to solving, including the establishment of a stronger national health care system (NHS), better schools, safer streets, and will protect the environment, defend the territory, enhance the British armed forces, boost the economy, and build an economy that embraces the opportunity of Brexit.
In addition, Sunak also expressed his honor to serve as the Chancellor of the Finance Department in Boris' cabinet and expressed his gratitude to Boris.
After the speech of the new British Prime Minister Sunak, he turned to No. 10 Downing Street, and next, he will spend an afternoon appointing the new British cabinet.
According to the latest reports, the current Chancellor of the Finance Minister Jeremy Hunter is likely to continue to serve as the Finance Minister to ensure the stability and continuity of economic policies.
In fact, after confirming his election as Prime Minister yesterday afternoon (October 24), Sunak has delivered a victory speech.
Sunak first thanked former Prime Minister Tras yesterday and felt "humble and honored" for the support and election of the lawmakers.
Then, Sunak said that Britain is a great country but faces "deep" economic challenges, so stability and solidarity must be achieved. “I promise to serve you with integrity and humility,” Sunak said.
Sunak also warned Conservative MPs after being elected that would face destruction if the party was not united.
" Times " quoted Sunak's close confidants as saying that Sunak pays great attention to party unity, so even supporters of Tras and Boris, as well as Modant, another competitor in this election, will be invited to serve in the new cabinet.
In addition, Gov , who resigned from his position as cabinet minister this summer, will also hold important positions in the new cabinet.

Home office trend weakens, and housing prices in the center of large cities in the UK have increased more than those in surrounding areas
Home office caused by the new crown epidemic set off a "space competition" in the real estate market in 2020 and 2021, and housing prices in suburban and rural areas soar.
However, According to data released by UK bank Halifax on October 24, this trend has reversed in most areas since the beginning of this year, and homebuyers no longer prioritize large houses with more green space .
As people gradually return to their offices, House prices in urban centers in the UK rose by an average of 9.2%, while house prices in surrounding areas rose by only 7.9% .
In January this year, the average house price in all districts of London was £573,559, and rose to £612,582 in September, up 6.8%; while in the outer parts of London, house prices rose only 4.6% in the same period.
In London , the price of houses has fallen 8.4% this year.
As shown in the figure below, Sheffield is the city center with the highest housing price increase in the country, with housing prices soaring by 18.9%; while in areas around Sheffield, housing prices only rose by 9.7% . House prices in
Manchester , Liverpool , Edinburgh , Leeds and Southampton also meet this trend.
cities that do not meet this trend include Birmingham , Newcastle, Sunderland in northeast England, etc. The housing prices in the city center are lower than those in surrounding areas.
Charles wax figure was called a face cake by members of the environmental protection organization
At around 11 a.m. on the 24th, two members of the environmental protection organization Just Stop Oil came to the wax figure of the British royal family in Madame Tussauds' wax museum in London, took off their tops, exposed the T-shirt representing the organization, and shouted two cakes on the wax figure of King Charles's wax figure.
Then, they shouted to other tourists who were surprised that the action is now taken to protect the living environment of future generations.
Ironically, Charles has always actively advocated environmental protection issues. Last year, when the Cop 26 climate conference was held in Glasgow in the UK, he also spoke at the opening ceremony.
London Police Department confirmed that the two members were Eilidh McFadden, 20, of Glasgow and Tom Johnson, 29, of Sunderland, who were both arrested for criminal vassalism.
Previously, on October 14, two members of Just Stop Oil also poured canned tomato soup on Van Gogh's famous painting "Sunflower" in the National Gallery in London. Fortunately, there was a layer of protective glass outside the painting.
