1:00Now PlayingRishi Sunak reappointed Jeremy Hunt as UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, keeping a key ally in post who has already begun the work of trying to repair the economic damage caused by Liz Truss’s administration.
Britain’s new leader is setting out the top ministerial team he wants to tackle what he called the “profound economic crisis” facing the UK. James Cleverly stays as foreign secretary and Defense Secretary Ben Wallace was also reappointed. In a controversial move, Suella Braverman is back as home secretary -- days after Truss fired her over a national security breach.
Therese Coffey, a key ally of the ousted premier, stays in the Cabinet, swapping the health brief for the environment one, while Penny Mordaunt, Sunak’s final rival in the race to the top job, retains her post as Leader of the House of Commons.
In appointing his team, Britain’s third prime minister in two months has had to strike a balance between rewarding loyalists who backed his two leadership campaigns this year while ensuring party unity by including figures from across warring factions.
