Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's party, which has been in power since 2010, is well behind the main opposition Labour party in opinion polls and looks likely to be dumped out of office. IMAGES

UK Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister) Jeremy Hunt makes the traditional appearance with the Secretary of State's red box as he leaves 11 Downing Street to deliver his first budget to Parliament. The budget is expected to include more help on soaring energy bills and childcare costs, but the government is set to stand firm on rising public sector pay demands as the country endures a fresh wave of strikes. On Wednesday, teachers, civil servants, junior doctors, BBC journalists and London Tube drivers all walked out with UK inflation remaining above 10 percent. IMAGES
In his first speech as the UK's Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak says he intends to 'unite' the country. He said his government would work with 'integrity' and 'professionalism' under his watch. IMAGES
