17 favourite things people are saying about Rishi Sunak as he becomes our new PM

Another month, another prime minister, and this time it’s Rishi Sunak’s chance to take charge of the country for a bit.

The former chancellor is meeting King Charles III on Wednesday before walking through the revolving door at Number 10 to officially succeed Liz Truss.

While we wait to find how long his honeymoon period will last – enough time to find the Downing Street remote control, surely – enjoy these 17 favourite things people are saying about him right now.

Sunak's going to be awful. But he's going to be *conventionally* awful. And that's almost a relief.

Got to feel for Penny Mordaunt. Looking like she'll have to wait until November to be Prime Minister

I assume being Prime Minister must be really easy job, because I literally didn’t need to do or say anything in order to get it.
