Liz Truss left office with a plea for her successor to carry on her work. It’s fair to say Rishi Sunak is not doing that. From fracking and pensions to defence spending, here are some of the ideas he’s ripping to shreds
Rishi Sunak has started his stint as PM by driving a coach and horses through Liz Truss’s 49-day reign.
The outgoing leader urged her successor to continue her rather unsuccessful push for “growth” in her final speech in Downing Street.
But so far there’s no sign Mr Sunak is planning to replicate the policies that drove her from office.
And in his first hours in the job, he U-turned on many of the things she had promised – so many, in fact, that it’s hard to keep track.
