The UK’s third prime minister since July—Rishi Sunak— has carried out a Cabinet reshuffle and replaced a number of ministers who were loyal to his predecessor, Liz Truss.

After an audience with King Charles III on Tuesday, Sunak, 42, took over the reins of power and immediately began reshuffling his pack of ministers.
