UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has faced the opposition
in the House of Commons for the first time since taking
office, seeking to provide assurances that his new
government will offer economic stability and continuity
after his predecessor's tax-cutting plans triggered
market turmoil.
Sunak, who entered 10 Downing Street on Tuesday, has
appointed a government that mixes allies with
experienced ministers from the administrations of his
two immediate predecessors, Boris Johnson and Liz
Truss, as he tries to tackle Britain's multiple economic
problems.
One of his government's first acts was to delay a key
economic statement until November 17, saying it would
deliver more accurate forecasts as the government
seeks to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.
