Kia Sarma's First 24 Hours as Prime Minister

The first 24 hours of Kia Sarma as Prime Minister saw predictable yet significant appointments and actions. Despite a positive outcome for Labour in the elections, there were losses to independents and the Greens, signaling challenges. Sarma's attempts at reassurance and unity in his speech reflect his focus on building trust across political divides. The composition of his cabinet, with Angela Rainer as Deputy Prime Minister and Rachel Reeves as Chancellor, demonstrates a mix of experienced figures and surprise appointments.
