Sunak, who replaced Liz Truss as leader after her brief stint as prime minister ended in chaos, chose to not bring in a new finance or foreign minister but did appoint a mix of allies and former adversaries to senior positions. As Britain’s third prime minister this year, Sunak faces a daunting list of problems, including how to tackle an economic crisis and how to unite and rebuild a fractured party whose reputation has been shredded by months of scandals and rows.
