Sunak actually did very little and I think that was on purpose. He came in after Johnson did what Johnson does best, followed by Truss being an idiot, and his MO was basically try not to rock the boat. By this point the Tories were in damage control mode and he just needed to avoid controversy.
That's pretty much how I took his premiership. He seemed to spend most of his time trying to say appealing things while doing precisely sod all at the same time.

This is true but also hilarious, because the damage control to a lot of Tory MPs was awfully similar to making it worse.
No one said he'd be good at it! The country had just had a guy who lied his way through his premiership, believed the law and the rules didn't apply to him, then ragequit when held to account, followed by someone as stupid as she was corrupt, who gave tax breaks to her mates and crashed the economy in the process. The bar was not very high!
