Rishi Sunak is under scrutiny today, as Jeremy Hunt delivers the Autumn Statement - after a turbulent time in politics.
The prime minister has told the BBC that tax rises and spending cuts are needed to reduce rising inflation and UK public debt - while critics fear his tactic could worsen a two-year recession.
Speaking to the BBC, Sunak said that reducing inflation was his "number one challenge".
Meanwhile earlier this year, he spoke out to defend his wife's tax affairs which came under fire before Akshata Murty promised to pay UK taxes on her international income
Ms Murty had opted to claim non-dom status, which meant she does not have to pay UK tax on her overseas income.
In a previous interview while running as Conservative party leader, Rishi Sunak discussed the "key” to his successful marriage
The pair are valued at £730m, and met at Stanford University in the US where Sunak was studying for an MBA, before getting married in 2009.
Discussing his marriage with the Sunday Times, Sunak said the key to their marriage was their differences.
"I'm incredibly tidy, she's very messy," he told the Times. "I'm much more organised, she is more spontaneous ... she is not going to love me for saying this but I'll be honest with you, she is not big on the whole tidying thing. She is a total nightmare, clothes everywhere... and shoes ... oh God shoes ..."
Sunak and Murty, who is the daughter of billionaire businessman Narayana Murthy, have two daughters, Krishna, and Anoushka.
Speaking about raising his children, Sunak says he "loved helping with the childcare.
He added: "I was very lucky because when they were born, I ran my own business with others but I was completely in control of my time and so I was very much around," he says.
"I always say my parenting sweet spot is zero to three and I was really lucky that when they were that age I had the time to just be there a lot and do a lot. I loved every second of it. Every time I'm on the campaign trail and I see a little baby or something, my arm goes out."
