LONDON - Britain’s former finance minister Rishi Sunak confirmed on Sunday he was standing to replace Ms Liz Truss as prime minister, after securing the support of more than 100 Conservative MPs.“That’s why I am standing to be leader of the Conservative Party and your next prime minister.”

Fabulously rich from his pre-politics career in finance, he has been mocked as out of touch with Britons struggling with decades-high inflation. “I have friends who are aristocrats, I have friends who are upper class, I have friends who are, you know, working class,” he said, before adding: “Well, not working class.”A details-oriented policy wonk with a background in economics, Mr Sunak, 42, is set to market himself as a stable choice at a time of crisis.
