Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is set to deliver his first public address in office shortly, at around 1135BST (0635ET, 1235CET). Livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EQTnGvUxM0

• Following his speech, which is seen as likely to be a relatively sombre address focusing on the economic landscape the UK faces, Sunak will begin to assemble his first Cabinet.
• The most senior positions (Chancellor, Home Sec, Foreign Sec, Defence Sec, etc.) likely to be filled this afternoon.
• Ben Riley-Smith at The Telegraph: "Others tipped… Mel Stride for chief whip… Craig Williams for Rishi PPS, possible cabinet returns for Dowden, Jenrick, Raab, Shapps, Barclay… (still nothing signed and sealed)."
• If Stride is appointed chief whip, it would open the position of chair of the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee, a high-profile role in questioning the chancellor, governor of the BoE, and other senior Whitehall figures on the gov'ts economic plans.
• Sunak's speech comes as the Kremlin, when asked about the new PM, says that 'We see no reason for hope for positive developments' in Russia's relations with the UK.
