Who is Rishi Sunak? What to know about the new U.K. prime minister.
Rishi Sunak's campaign had a simple slogan when he ran for prime minister of Britain earlier this year: "Ready for Rishi."
The answer was: No, sorry.
He competed against Liz Truss to lead Britain's Conservative Party after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his scandal-induced resignation in July.
With Truss out, it appears Britain's Conservatives are indeed ready for Sunak—or at least any chance of a reprieve from the chaos at 10 Downing Street.

里希·苏纳克是谁？关于这位英国新首相，我们该了解些什么。
里希·苏纳克在今年早些时候竞选英国首相时有一个简单的口号：“准备迎接里希。”
答案是：不，非常抱歉。
在首相鲍里斯·约翰逊于 7 月因丑闻而辞职后，他与莉兹·特拉斯竞争英国保守党党魁一职。
随着特拉斯的出局，英国保守党似乎确实准备好了迎接苏纳克——或者至少有机会从唐宁街 10 号的混乱中缓过来。
