Rishi Sunak brings together the two opposing factions of the Conservative Party in his cabinet

British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunakhas tried to promote unity within the Conservative Party by appointing this Tuesday a cabinet of ministers representative of various factions of the formation, with few women in the main portfolios and some allies in key positions.

Jeremy Huntthe finance minister who entered the government just two weeks ago to reverse Liz Truss’s fiscal plans, will maintain the position in the Executive of the new British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.

Hunt’s choice, despite having been part of the old anti-Brexit camp, has to do with his experience in different Conservative governments and with preserving a certain “stability”. Not in vain, on Monday of next week he will have to present to Parliament a medium-term fiscal plan to balance public finances.

The permanence of Hunt has been the first announcement of Sunak when beginning to name his cabinet, after receiving from King Carlos III the commission to form a Government. Hunt took over as an emergency officer on October 14, replacing Kwasi Kwartengdismissed by the previous prime minister, Liz Truss, after the failure of her economic strategy, which sowed chaos in the financial markets.

Sunakwho personally is from the ‘probrexit’ faction, has appointed Dominic Raab as deputy prime minister and head of justice, who was his ally during the primaries in the ruling party; first to succeed Boris Johnson, who resigned on July 7, and then Truss, who announced his resignation last Thursday.

The politically complicated Ministry of the Interior will occupy it Suella Bravermanfrom the right wing of the ‘Tories’, Europhobic and anti-immigration, who resigned a week ago from that same position after acknowledging having violated the ministerial code of conduct.

During the Conservative Party’s annual conference in early October, Braverman said it was his “dream” and “obsession” to one day see a plane full of asylum seekers take off for Rwanda, where the UK hopes to move the processing of requests.

“Economic stability”

After the turbulence caused by the tax cut for Truss, who resigned last week, Sunak has stressed that his main objective will be to recover “economic stability”something that will be “at the center of this government” and, recognizing that the international context will force “difficult decisions”, it has asked its citizens to remember their actions in the face of the Covid crisis “in which I did everything to protect citizens and companies”.

At the end of his audience with the monarch, the brand new prime minister has claimed his mandate and has stressed that he is coming to “correct the mistakes” of Truss, according to reports Eph.

“I know that Boris Johnson would you agree with me that the mandate we have received from the people is not individualbut belongs to all of us and what unites us is our electoral program”, he said, in an attempt to silence critics who pointed out that Sunak had not been elected by anyone. “Confidence is earned and I will earn the citizens’ confidence,” he said.

Sunak has promised to fulfill “all the promises” tories: “I will fulfill our manifesto: stronger healthcare, better schools, safer streets, control of our borders, protection of our environment, support for our Armed Forces, an economy that takes advantage of the opportunities of ‘brexit’, where companies invest , innovate and create jobs”.
