Speaking during his maiden speech as PM he acknowledged there were a number of problems he had to address
As Rishi Sunak starts his first full day as Prime Minister he is likely to face a huge number of challenges after taking over from Liz Truss who last just 49 days in office.
"This government will have integrity, professionalism, and accountability at every level. Trust is earned and I will earn yours. I will always be grateful to Boris Johnson for his incredible achievements as prime minister. And I treasure his warmth and generosity of spirit. With the inflation rate of 10.1 per cent the Office for National Statistics said the cost of some of the cheapest food in supermarkets has risen by nearly two-thirds in the last year, heaping extra pressure on struggling households.
In a thread of tweets the SNP leader also said Sunak had no mandate in Scotland while she also called for independence. Sunak will have a lot on his plate in his first couple of weeks in Downing Street, and independence could become the biggest issue if the Supreme Court rules that Holyrood can hold a referendum without the consent of Westminster.
In the first weeks of her short premiership Truss committed the UK to continuing its support for Ukraine with another £2.3 billion next year. Zelenskyy will be keen to hear from Sunak if he is willing to keep that promise.
