King Charles III officially appointed Rishi Sonak as prime minister on Tuesday. He immediately issued a warning about the “difficult decisions” that would be made, but he insisted on delivering a message of “hope” to the nation, which is currently suffering from a crippling economic and social crisis.
Rishi Sonak, a banker and former minister of finance, rose quickly through the political ranks to become the first British prime minister of Indian descent and, at 42, the youngest prime leader in modern British history.
He emphasised, “I will unite our country, not through words, but through deeds,” and pledged to correct the “mistakes” made under the Liz Treis administration, which was forced to step down due to a financial storm sparked by its economic policy.
In his speech, he said that despite the mission’s immensity, he “does not fear” it. He said, “We will build a future that is worthy of the sacrifices made by many and that will mature tomorrow and every day with hope.”
Sonak reiterated that Moscow’s “awful conflict,” which must “end with the victory” of Kyiv, has the support of Britain for Ukraine.
Sonak will become the prime minister of the government in a country facing a serious economic and social crisis.
The rate has surpassed 10%, making it the highest among the G-7 nations, and it has done so at a time when food and energy costs are still high and the recession risk is present.
The incoming British Prime Minister foresees “tough economic decisions” in the near future.
