and this is how the new prime minister is plotting a way out of it. i will place economic stability and confidence at the heart of this government's agenda. in other words — doing everything possible to reassure the financial markets. the same markets which stopped liz truss. if that's one objective, we've heard others, too. a stronger nhs, better schools, safer streets. that all costs money — at a time when the government must find billions more in savings. and there was also this commitment. the government i lead will not leave the next generation — your children and grandchildren — with a debt to settle that we were too weak to pay ourselves. so, managing government debt whilst improving public services and reassuring the markets. that's a lot to balance.
