Rishi Sunak vows to overcome economic crisis

In his first address to the nation as UK PM, Rishi Sunak vowed to unite the nation “facing a profound economic crisis” and acknowledged “mistakes were made” by his predecessors. He even added that there are “difficult decisions to come”.

"But you saw me during Covid doing everything I could to protect people and businesses with schemes like furlough. There are always limits more so now than ever. But I promise you this I will bring that same compassion to the challenges we face today," he 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," he added.
