If this is an example of the kind of grudges she holds, I don’t think it’ll be good for her image. ‘There’s a particular pressure on women not to show excessive emotion. The new prime minister will then meet Mr Johnson for a handover of power and address the country later in the evening to thank Tory party members for voting for her and set out her hopes for her term in power. Ms Truss will become the 15th prime minister during the Queen’s 70-year reign and the first appointed in Scotland instead of London. Ms Truss, who is currently the foreign secretary, will travel to Balmoral tomorrow where she will meet the Queen and be asked to form a government and become prime minister. Mr Johnson will formally resign and have his own audience with Her Majesty, 96, at the castle in Royal Deeside ahead of the engagement. ‘It was a real moment of glee and when she got up she absorbed the applause but she also knew when to pause it, which was her first strong non-verbal move after becoming the new Conservative Party leader. Only then did she ‘pay tribute’ to her ‘fellow candidates, particularly Mr Sunak’ for a ‘hard-fought campaign’ that she said showed the depth of talent in the party. On Sunday, Ms Truss told the BBC that she was ‘not a quitter’, something that her rival could be accused of after he stepped down as Chancellor and set the dominoes rolling on Boris Johnson’s time in No10. For his part, Mr Sunak described his adversary’s economic approach, including tax cuts, as a ‘gamble’ on the nation’s finances and accused her of ‘starry-eyed boosterism’. The pair also clashed over how to deal with the cost of living crisis, with Ms Truss accusing her fellow candidate of ‘Gordon Brown economics’.

Back in July, [Lord Ranger](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/uk/sunak-denies-racism-playing-any-role-in-british-pm-race/articleshow/93259020.cms), a leading Tory donor, essentially tried to guilt-trip Tory members into voting for Sunak, warning that Britain would be seen as ‘racist’ if Truss were to win. Half of the eight candidates who got through the first round of the Tory leadership race back in July came from ethnic-minority backgrounds. To blame ‘racism’ for the outcome of the Tory leadership race is also to rewrite very recent history. Concerns that Rishi’s race could be a barrier to him becoming PM have been raised since the start of the Tory leadership contest.

That will include tax cuts and help for families and businesses. The original field of 11 contenders was whittled down to two in a series of Tory MP ballots, with the final pair going into a run-off to be decided by the membership, which stands at about 160,000. Mr Johnson was forced out in July by a ministerial revolt over a string of scandals, just over two-and-a-half years after leading the Tories to a landslide victory at the 2019 election. Ms Truss did not rule out a freeze on Sunday but has previously described the idea as a "sticking plaster" and argues more needs to be done to help the UK boost its domestic sources of energy. She said any further support would have to go "hand in hand" with efforts to boost nuclear energy, fracking for shale gas and more oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. On Sunday the foreign secretary declined to say whether further help would be universal or targeted at the most needy, saying she would need time in office to iron out the details of her plan. After weeks of talking to Conservative members, the new prime minister will have to start talking to the country immediately. Ms Truss is yet to offer details of her cost-of-living support plan beyond saying she will temporarily scrap green levies on energy bills and reverse the rise in National Insurance introduced during Mr Johnson's tenure. BBC News has been told that a menu of options has been worked up in Whitehall to help struggling households, including a freeze on energy bills.

From his 'mansplaining' tendencies to his disloyalty to Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak went wrong on several counts.

In the mortal realm of politics, it is more likely that the crisis-riven conditions of the economy and much of the public service infrastructure, notably health, will create a political restiveness. Sunak will likely join the global elite of billionaire clubs that he truly belongs to and do what they do—make money while spending luxuriously. His exit also marks another moment as Sunak’s country of origin, that is India, famed for its diversity has zero Muslim representation in the ruling benches in its parliament. Loyalty is the principal sign of the political follower, but disloyalty will cost the crown to both the leader and the contender. Little wonder that this critical point has found little to no mention in the Indian commentary that has otherwise kept an eager and watchful eye on Sunak’s campaign. Labour has traditionally banked on African and Asian minority votes yet it has not promoted any minority figures to frontline leadership, barring Sadiq Khan, who is the current Labour mayor of London. The change of guard will force both political parties, Conservative and Labour, in two contradictory directions of ideological clarity and political compromise. When he did speak, Sunak adopted a patronising tone as he aimed to mansplain the economy and whatnot to her. Second, and to my mind the more important reason, is that Sunak behaved too much like a man we—especially women—sadly know all too well. That he came so close to taking the mantle only highlights the difference between the place of diversity in India and Britain. An apt comparison would be if India were to have a Muslim prime minister, as ethnic and racial minorities in Britain occupy a similar place to that of religious minorities in India. Wildly popular as chancellor, Rishi Sunak was widely tipped to be Boris Johnson’s successor through the rocky year of 2021 as the latter kept running through his proverbial nine lives—courting, and surviving scandal after scandal.

Conservative Party lawmakers said they could no longer trust a prime minister who prevaricated his way through scandal after scandal (and could no longer be counted on to help win elections). If Truss does emerge victorious, she would be Britain’s third female prime minister — following Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May. His predecessor, May, also called an early election, which lost her a parliamentary majority. As foreign secretary, she was a reliable NATO ally and Ukraine supporter, talking tough on Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin. And Sunak’s leading role in Johnson’s ouster — angry Tories called him a “Brutus” — seemed to hurt him with the grass roots.

In 2019, Boris Johnson won 66 percent of votes in the membership ballot, with Jeremy Hunt winning 34 percent. “I know our beliefs resonate with British people,” she said, adding: “I campaigned as a Conservative and will govern as a Conservative.” after comfortably seeing off rival Rishi Sunak in the race to lead the governing Conservative Party.

Her insistence on the campaign trail that she will lower taxes was met with heavy doses of skepticism at a time when the economy is struggling so much, and she is likely to set out an economic plan later this week. “We need to show we will deliver, bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy.” She takes up the role at a time of national crisis, with energy bills skyrocketing and the economy on the verge of recession.

Ex-chancellor is the latest charismatic Conservative Party leadership dead cert who failed to gain the ultimate prize.

The fact they were taking a bet on the likely winner and the person who would have it in their gift to give them a job was not mentioned. The sense of his isolation was not aided by ministers lining up one by one to declare their support for Ms Truss. He appealed, despite being a Brexiteer, to the Remainers (it’s a curiosity how Ms Truss and Mr Sunak’s EU positions played out, she a Remainer wooing the Brexiteers, he a Brexiteer winning the approval of the Remainers). He did well with the MPs, ahead with them by a mile, but they were not the ones making the selection. It did not assist Mr Sunak’s cause that the right-wing press were against him. They liked Mr Sunak, did not mind his penchant for designer clothes and were admiring of his top-drawer education and investment banking credentials. He was viewed as someone critically who still retains enormous affection and popularity among the rump of Tories not so exercised by breaches of, as they see them, arcane parliamentary rules. He was seen by the party faithful, those who were voting, as too brainy, too quick and smart. Yes, Ms Truss was a Remainer, but from the off, and even before the race began, she cloaked herself in the Union Jack, constantly photographed alongside the flag. He committed the cardinal sin of any elected politician — of not paying due heed to his electorate. She was a makeweight, who moved from state post to post without making a mark. His popularity shimmered like a risen souffle at a time of crisis for the nation.

We knew we would be writing this weeks ago, to be honest, but now it is actually true - Rishi Sunak has lost the Tory leadership contest.

From his reaction to finding out he had made the final two in the Tory leadership contest, to [trying to speak Welsh](https://www.indy100.com/politics/rishi-sunak-david-brent-welsh), it has been uncanny. During the leadership contest, he appeared to suggest Darlington was in Scotland and he previously left people cringing when Sunak has been criticised for being out of touch because he has an expensive Peloton bike which he uses to exercise. Sunak had a green card until last year and has spent a lot of time in the US. And in October last year, he made a similar clanger when he posted a photo of himself on Twitter preparing for his Conservative Party conference speech. Maybe he is really good at rapping and has a fresh career in him. \n\n\u201d— Haggis_UK \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa (@Haggis_UK \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa) Yes, some of us may go to the gym to use bikes warm from the arses off previous cyclists, but we are not all Sunak and if you can afford a swanky Peloton, go for it. He goes on about this in a weak attempt to seem relatable, despite now being stonking rich.
