Play all audios:
Truss' competitor Sunak thanked all those who voted for him in the election and said that everyone must "unite behind the new PM, Liz Truss, as she steers the country through
difficult times." Outgoing PM Boris Johnson also congratulated his colleague in the Cabinet on her "decisive" win and urged all members of the Conservative Party to throw
their weight behind her. "Congratulations to @trussliz on her decisive win. I know she has the right plan to tackle the cost of living crisis, unite our party and continue the great
work of uniting and levelling up our country. Now is the time for all Conservatives to get behind her 100 per cent," Johnson said. The opposition Labour Party chief Keir Starmer also
sent his best wishes to Truss but slammed the Tories for the ongoing economic difficulties facing the country. "I'd like to congratulate our next Prime Minister Liz Truss as she
prepares for office. But after 12 years of the Tories all we have to show for it is low wages, high prices, and a Tory cost of living crisis. Only Labour can deliver the fresh start our
country needs," Starmer said.
