Its wild to me that this man’s worst case scenario is going back to his near billion dollar fortune.
I shouldn’t have watched so much Sky growing up.
Noticed he was prepared this time, his wife had an umbrella just in case
> I have given this job my all
Deeply embarrassing if true
To give the guy some credit (which I don’t enjoy doing) – it was a good speech that highlighted respect for the opposition (would have been nice to show it during the campaign) and highlights how lucky we are to have such a peaceful transfer of power.
Good riddance to the tories, but I am grateful Sunak gave a speech like that rather than something angry and hateful towards Kier.
“So that’s it then after 1 and a half years so long and good luck?!”
“I don’t recall saying good luck”
Has Suella Braverman announced her intention to run for leader and send all Labour voters to Rwanda yet?
Wow, that dress is proof that money can’t buy taste.
My mum had a garden umbrella made of that material.
“UK is best country in world”, Sunak says as he leaves Downing Street for a flight to California.
As an outsider who really hasn’t heard any of Rishi Sunak since his appointment, I felt this speech was quite good. Admitted failure, wished good luck and respect to his opponent, and left. From the vacuum I saw it in, it was good.
Gets a bigger pension by about 8-10 times
for a handfull of years in power than I’ll get after 30 years working in the NHS.
Fucked this country over twice and will now become an immigrant in California.
It was a gracious speech. Pity that speechwriter was unavailable for the election campaign.
I know this is about Rishi and not his wife but, why is dressed like a deckchair.
His wife in dazzle camo. Took a while to spot but she’s there if you look closely enough.
Now we will see which rat rises to the top to claim leadership of the rubbish heap.
Mordaunt gone, Rees-Mogg gone. That leaves Badenoch, Braverman – who the fuck voted for that cruel shyster – and several other pricks and arse-holes to fight for the leadership of a now bereft and directionless political party.
Steve Baker thought that he had a chance to compete for leader, but that was another Brexiter fuckwit that lost his seat. Even on GMB he couldn’t face the questioning as to the failures of the Tory campaign. He blamed the previous Labour Government. Truly mad, opinionated and rambling. Those in the studio were trying not to laugh at him. A true shyster and charlatan. Unable to face the fact that he lost his seat because he is a cunt. As a guiding light of the ERG, he and Rees-Mogg bought to the fore policies and division that have hurt so many lives.
Let’s see who puts their hats in to the ring to contest the leadership. It’ll be hilarious.
The fact that despite some of the politicking we’ve seen in the last few years, our outgoing incumbent still concedes defeat in a dignified fashion and accepts responsibility is pleasing, considering what we have seen elsewhere.
The ability to commend the country for welcoming the immigrant family to the UK and then number 10, while pushing the policies he has been pushing is mad mental gymnastics
Will out money on it he goes back to USA. God forbid he live in the mess his party has caused.
Landslide? Labour got less than a third of the vote. Bearing in mind the low turnout that’s pretty poor really.
He knew it was over and didn’t beat a dead horse, then did a graceful exit speech, too, to show some humility. He’s massively increased my respect for him as a person and PM of a sinking ship.
Good 👍
Go get all the Sky channels possible, and do not forget to watch the News on and about Gaza Silence card play👌 Ukrainian monetary and Armament support, Homelessness saga, Rwandan scam, crime rate etc
I linked to watch the video and had an automated ad IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE start playing before I skipped it.
Hang on, Sky News? Wait, what just happened?
Just so we’re all aware he’s going to get 40k extra simply for resigning, 160k a year just wasn’t enough to work for this country, but he also needs a severance package directly from our pockets
I do find it mildly amusing for him to hear him say that he’s “heard our anger” despite this sentiment having been around for so long that he could actually have done something in response.
Interesting that he became respectful, humble and gracious the moment it wouldn’t cost him support anymore.
It reminds me of the consistently sound and logical takes you hear from ex-politicians, and never current ones.
am I the only one who finds it ironic that at this point, after losing everything, he now has an umbrella and its his wife who is holding it?
