Mr Sunak did not reveal his vision for the country in the video, although he said he would share his plans in the "coming days and weeks".

Only three months ago Mr Sunak was forced to apologise after he received a fine for breaching Covid regulations. “I got into politics because I want everyone in this country to have those same opportunities, to be able to give their children a better future.

In the next two hours, more ministers and aides quit and as the total reached 59, Johnson knew what he had to do. When the PM gathered aides around a vegetarian takeaway of lentil curry and naan bread at 8pm on Wednesday to rebuild his shattered Government, he was still determined to cling on. Sunak resigned from the Government following a major row last weekend with Boris Johnson over how and when to cut tax, it has emerged. Infosys has also been criticised for failing to cut business ties with Russia quickly enough in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine.

And then I shock them at the end of chatting to them for half an hour and tell them I was at Winchester and one of my best friends is from Eton or whatever. I always consider myself professional middle-class, I don't think being Asian is a defining feature." The Southampton-born MP for Richmond is married to Akshata Murty, the daughter of IT services billionaire Narayana Murthy. With a combined £730million fortune the couple were recently named on the Sunday Times rich list as the 222nd wealthiest people in the UK.
