starmer does not that. but there is a much guess set of arguments that he is going to want to land, which are, basically, if you look at what the government is trying to do, they are trying to give the impression that over the last six weeks or so, there is the strange operation, that has done quite a lot of economic damage, but was a separate, almost an event that came out of nowhere, has caused problems that he now needs to come in and fix. and what labour needs to put across is the argument that a lot of the arguments we see on the economy now, a lot of the problems that rishi sunak says that he is here to clean up, problems he was instantly creating as translator borisjohnson problems he was instantly creating as translator boris johnson for a relatively long time. given that we have had five education secretaries in the last five months, spending nearly two years as chancellor is a pretty impressive stint. do nearly two years as chancellor is a pretty impressive stint. pretty imp
week, liz truss had to tell suella braverman to resign after breaking the ministerial code so let s see what happens this afternoon. the results of the big question of what rishi sunak is going to do on the economy. that will be the defining issue, the thing that dictates his first few weeks and months in office. we have not heard any details from him yet about what he wants to do about the big black hole in the country s finances, the plan had been for the chancellorjeremy hunt to give an update on medium term fiscal planning as it was called by the treasury, that was supposed to be on monday. there were a lot of hints this morning that would not happen next week as planned, let us wait and see what details we get on that during the course of the day. butjust hours into the job, you course of the day. butjust hours into thejob, you are course of the day. butjust hours into the job, you are correct, there is a lot of criticism on the reappointment of suella braverman and that all those
some speculation she might get a slightly betterjob, ben, but she stayed as leader of the commons. i can tell you, people often ask why we ask questions of ministers when they don t always answer, but nadhim zahawi, the new conservative chairman left about five minutes ago, we asked him how united the party was, he said very, very united. alisterjack, the scottish secretary, said he thought that mr sunak is very good for the union. the challenge, then, that rishi sunak now has is twofold. firstly, he has to explain more about what his agenda for government is, we have seen those statements, like the one we saw yesterday in downing street, where he can give a broad brush, but he is going to face that scrutiny at prime minister s questions today, which he has not had for the last few weeks, because he has not done any interview since the last leadership campaign. ok, it wasn t that long ago, but things
well as controversially reappointing suella braverman as the home secretary, despite her being forced to resign a few days ago because of a security breach at the home office where she sent information on her personal e mail. labour has been strongly critical of her reappointment. as we mentioned, rishi sunak will face opposition leader, keir starmer in today s prime minister s questions. that appointment suella of braverman might well come up as one of the first questions of kier starmer although it is hard to know. we have heard about that from the foreign secretary who spoke earlier today to bbc breakfast. the home secretary has said she made a mistake. she apologised for that. but she is also absolutely determined and focused to crack down on crime and to secure our borders and make sure that the home office is a very, very
