That will include tax cuts and help for families and businesses. The original field of 11 contenders was whittled down to two in a series of Tory MP ballots, with the final pair going into a run-off to be decided by the membership, which stands at about 160,000. Mr Johnson was forced out in July by a ministerial revolt over a string of scandals, just over two-and-a-half years after leading the Tories to a landslide victory at the 2019 election. Ms Truss did not rule out a freeze on Sunday but has previously described the idea as a "sticking plaster" and argues more needs to be done to help the UK boost its domestic sources of energy. She said any further support would have to go "hand in hand" with efforts to boost nuclear energy, fracking for shale gas and more oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. On Sunday the foreign secretary declined to say whether further help would be universal or targeted at the most needy, saying she would need time in office to iron out the details of her plan. After weeks of talking to Conservative members, the new prime minister will have to start talking to the country immediately. Ms Truss is yet to offer details of her cost-of-living support plan beyond saying she will temporarily scrap green levies on energy bills and reverse the rise in National Insurance introduced during Mr Johnson's tenure. BBC News has been told that a menu of options has been worked up in Whitehall to help struggling households, including a freeze on energy bills.

Even on Monday, the Mail suggested that Sunak plans to quit Britain for California where he and his wife once worked. But two-thirds of the members voted on receiving their ballots without bothering to listen to what Sunak had to say. The question for her party, and the country, is whether she is up to it.” If Truss, 47, is defeated by Labour’s Keir Starmer in the 2024 general election, it is possible that Sunak, 42, will have another crack at the leadership.

From his 'mansplaining' tendencies to his disloyalty to Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak went wrong on several counts.

In the mortal realm of politics, it is more likely that the crisis-riven conditions of the economy and much of the public service infrastructure, notably health, will create a political restiveness. Sunak will likely join the global elite of billionaire clubs that he truly belongs to and do what they do—make money while spending luxuriously. His exit also marks another moment as Sunak’s country of origin, that is India, famed for its diversity has zero Muslim representation in the ruling benches in its parliament. Loyalty is the principal sign of the political follower, but disloyalty will cost the crown to both the leader and the contender. Little wonder that this critical point has found little to no mention in the Indian commentary that has otherwise kept an eager and watchful eye on Sunak’s campaign. Labour has traditionally banked on African and Asian minority votes yet it has not promoted any minority figures to frontline leadership, barring Sadiq Khan, who is the current Labour mayor of London. The change of guard will force both political parties, Conservative and Labour, in two contradictory directions of ideological clarity and political compromise. When he did speak, Sunak adopted a patronising tone as he aimed to mansplain the economy and whatnot to her. Second, and to my mind the more important reason, is that Sunak behaved too much like a man we—especially women—sadly know all too well. That he came so close to taking the mantle only highlights the difference between the place of diversity in India and Britain. An apt comparison would be if India were to have a Muslim prime minister, as ethnic and racial minorities in Britain occupy a similar place to that of religious minorities in India. Wildly popular as chancellor, Rishi Sunak was widely tipped to be Boris Johnson’s successor through the rocky year of 2021 as the latter kept running through his proverbial nine lives—courting, and surviving scandal after scandal.

Rishi Sunak has refuted claims of stepping away from politics, saying it is a 'great privilege' to serve his constituency Richmond, Yorkshire.
