Liz Truss Resigns, Rishi Sunak To Make Another Bid For Top Slot? (Outlook India)

While hectic lobbying is continuing in the political space of the UK, Rishi Sunak appears to be the most likely candidate to take over from former UK PM Liz ...

As the Conservative party bosses have already laid down that the next British Prime Minister will be chosen within a week, there are reports that the general rules governing the selection of the new leader of the party may be changed to keep out ordinary party members from voting. She was not a member of the short-lived Liz Truss cabinet and is said to be much more right-wing than the former PM. Speculation is that the party leadership will set the bar high, meaning candidates have to get the support of for example 100 party members before they can contest. [Rishi Sunak is contesting.](https://www.outlookindia.com/international/will-rishi-sunak-take-over-liz-truss-all-eyes-on-him-as-pressure-mounts-on-uk-pm-news-231442) His image as the Chancellor during the pandemic was much appreciated by the general public. Indian-origin former chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak may make another bid to become Prime Minister, as he clearly won the Parliamentary party votes last time. Many in Britain believe it is time for general elections, instead of the musical chair that has been on since Boris Johnson was forced out of office.

RECOMMENDED Susan Dalgety said that she doesn't care whether Rishi Sunak is “up for the job” or Penny Mordaunt fancies a shot as it is not about the personal ambitions of second-class politicians, but about the lives and future of UK and its citizens. [pic.twitter.com/Yk7NAjr4OK] [October 20, 2022] "These are serious times and we need a serious & competent Prime Minister," his tweet added. A user named Michael Otadende posted a video of Rishi Sunak counting flaws in Liz Truss's economy related policies. As per a report in the British newspaper The Times, Sunak's supporters feel that because he was a runner-up to Truss to take over the leadership of the Conservative Party, it is only natural for him to succeed Truss, now that she is out.

UK Back To Boris Johnson, Or Rishi Sunak Next? 4 Contenders ... (NDTV)

Four main players on the field to be UK Prime Minister as Conservatives elect new leader next week; two names other than Rishi Sunak, Boris Johnson.

Prescient or traitor? Rishi Sunak is the favourite to be next UK PM (Reuters)

To some Conservatives, Rishi Sunak is the minister who got Britain through the COVID pandemic, to others the traitor who knifed Boris Johnson or the rival ...

In 2020, aged 39, Sunak was named finance minister just before the coronavirus pandemic hit Britain. The problems for Sunak in the leadership race contrasted with his swift rise through the Conservative Party, which began in 2015 when he was elected to parliament having previously worked for Goldman Sachs and hedge fund TCI. For his supporters in the party, Sunak's previous leadership campaign message of the need for economic prudence to address Britain's rampant inflation and criticism of Truss's "fairy tale" plans have shown he is right man for the job.

I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party. Truss’s departure was not unexpected following the chaos of recent days, especially the departure of her home secretary Suella Braverman, who called for the Prime Minister to step down: “The business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes.

In the last 12 years, three ‘once in a century’ events have occurred, from the global financial crisis to the pandemic and the Ukraine war. There is a genuine question about the UK’s direction of travel. Truss brought in a new Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, who reversed two-thirds of the earlier measures and announced there’d be further spending cuts and/or tax increases to balance the books. Earlier, Truss claimed tax cuts could be paid for from the £30 billion headroom Sunak had left himself in the spring — but because of the Ukraine crisis, that had turned into a shortfall. [Truss](/topic/truss)introduced a ‘mini-budget’ — in the short term, to protect households and businesses from higher wholesale gas costs, a cap on retail prices was established, essentially subsidising them. She campaigned on a libertarian philosophy of cutting taxes, claiming that would stimulate growth, even obviating the need to cut government spending alongside.

Ready for Rishi? Indian-origin MP now favourite to replace Liz Truss ... (India Today)

Rishi Sunak, 42, is one of the favourites to replace Liz Truss as the next UK prime minister. UK will hopefully have its new PM by October 28.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson who was on a holiday in the Caribbean is flying down post the fiasco in the Conservative party. The first ballot for the MPs will be held on October 24 between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm with results being announced at 6:00 pm the same day. The UK will hopefully have its new PM by October 28. The ballot will close at 11pm on October 28 and the result will be announced late the same day. Any candidate would need the support of a minimum of 100 MPs to stand in the race for PM. That cannot be automatically called unless the ruling party is unable to form a government, which is not the case as of now.

Britain's Prime Minister Liz Truss's resignation after 44 catastrophic days in office has triggered a new race for the leadership of the Conservative party.

To speed up the process, if there is a members’ vote, it will likely be carried out online. But there may be heavy pressure on the runner-up from the MPs’ balloting to drop out of the race, senior party figures said. By Tuesday evening, there were further unprecedented scenes in parliament over a vote on a resumption of fracking to which Truss had given the green light despite widespread opposition among Conservative MPs and the public at large. Another potential candidate is Penny Mordaunt who was knocked out of the last leadership race. Whittaker said, “I am f**king furious and I don’t give a f**k anymore.” Later, the same night, the two were said to have ‘Un-resigned’. I recognise, though, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative party,” she said.

Born in the UK's Southhampton area to an Indian family, Rishi Sunak is the son of a pharmacist mother and a National Health Service (NHS) general practitioner (GP) father.
