Sunak, one of the wealthiest politicians in Westminster, will be asked to form a government by King Charles, replacing Liz Truss, the outgoing leader who only lasted 44 days in the job. He defeated centrist politician Penny Mordaunt, who failed to get enough backing from lawmakers to enter the ballot, while his rival, the former prime minister Boris Johnson, withdrew from the contest saying he could no longer unite the party. "This decision is an historic one and shows, once again, the diversity and talent of our party. The pound and British government bond prices jumped briefly on news of Mordaunt's withdrawal, but soon returned to their previous levels.

The Dutch coach also insisted that dropping of Ronaldo for the match was about having the 'right culture, the right standards and values'. Ten Hag suspended Ronaldo after the striker refused to enter as a late substitute in Wednesday's 2-0 home win over Tottenham and stormed off down the touchline. But it doesn't have any matter with that (Ronaldo) case that you mean because it is more important to have the right culture, the right standards, and values. For the long-term it is always more important and in the end that will bring you into the right position."

WORKEST by Zenefits examined data from the US Bureau of Labour Statistics on employee turnover rates at the national level.
