Prime minister says investors are excited about Britain and that he instinctively understands what the public wants
Rishi Sunak has rejected criticism that recent U-turns mean the UK cannot be taken seriously, as he fought to maintain order before a Conservative conference set to be dominated by questions about tax cuts and rivals jostling to succeed him.
“I have a good sense of what the British people’s priorities are,” he said. “I’m going to set about delivering for them. And that’s the change that I’m going to bring.” In a sometimes combative interview, Sunak sought to present himself as a reinvigorated prime minister with a plan for change, following the recent policy reversal on net zero targets, and the expected U-turn on HS2.
