Rishi Sunak set to become next UK Premier

Rish Sunak is expected to win the Conservative Party leadership race and is set to become the next UK Prime Minister, to cover the vacuum left by Liz Truss.

Immediately after being declared the winner, Liz Truss congratulated Rishi Sunak by tweeting: “Congratulations @RishiSunak on being appointed as Leader of the Conservative Party and our next Prime Minister.”

After addressing his MPs, the new Conservative Party leader Rishi Sunak bumped into the (current) Foreign Secretary James Cleverly on one of parliament’s staircases.

The pair shook hands and embraced. That’s probably not a bad sign for a foreign secretary who’s made it obvious he’d like to stay in his current role, despite initially supporting Boris Johnson.

Marching through the corridors of parliament, Sunak also bumped into a former Tory leader Theresa May.

She appeared to congratulate him. I wonder if she also gave him some advice on what he can expect when he moves into 10 Downing Street.
