Sunak officially became the new British Prime Minister
The Prime Minister's Office in Downing Street changed hands on October 25. After Sunak obtained the authorization of King Charles III , he officially replaced Tras as Prime Minister and began to form a new cabinet. In his inaugural speech in front of the Prime Minister's Office, he said that the UK is facing a huge economic crisis and the focus of the new government is to stabilize the economy and restore the confidence of the people. Later that day, he announced the list of new cabinets: Chancellor of the Exchequer Hunter , Foreign Secretary Clay Foley, Defense Secretary Wallace and Modant, the leader of the House of Commons , were all retained. Former Foreign Minister Rab joined the cabinet again, serving as deputy prime minister, justice and judicial minister. Bray Furman, who resigned a few days ago, once again served as Home Secretary. With Sunak officially taking office as Prime Minister, he faces extremely severe economic challenges in Britain and a severely divided Conservative Party. The Conservative Party regards him as a financial "hand of security", and the outside world remains suspicious of whether Sunak has the ability to turn the tide. Some people say that Sunak is a typical management technician. He only understands data, but only masters data, which cannot really make a difference.
