Who is the First Lord of the Treasury?

The First Lord of the Treasury is traditionally the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. As of October 2023, Rishi Sunak holds the position of Prime Minister, and therefore he is the First Lord of the Treasury. The Prime Minister is responsible for overseeing the Treasury, managing public finances, and setting the government's economic policy.

Keir Starmer, while a prominent political figure, is the leader of the opposition and does not hold the title of First Lord of the Treasury. Similarly, Liz Truss and David Cameron have both previously served as Prime Ministers but are not currently in office. Hence, the correct answer must reflect the individual presently occupying the role, which is Rishi Sunak.
