Rishi Sunak is to resign as Conservative Party leader after a catastrophic election defeat to Labour.
The outgoing UK prime minister announced his resignation outside 10 Downing Street in London.
Sunak said he will not resign immediately – only when formal arrangements for a successor have taken place.
Labour won the UK general election in a landslide, with the Conservatives seeing their worst result – in terms of seats – in the party's history.

Its just over a year since Queen died and Charles is already on his 3rd prime minister like DAMN
*two years
@@BazingaIRanOutOfIdeas it would in september
@@tapeshsharma9254 queen died after meeting liz, so rishi was kings first pm so the new one would be the second right ?
Larry the cat is on his 6th
So that’s 1 king, 1 queen and 3 prime ministers in a space of 2 years! Blimey
He’ll drown his losses in his £600m fortune. He’ll be ok
I hope there is an investigation by the new government into all the businesses him and his wife had their hands in that received large government contracts. Let’s not forget
@@JM-bo7ko what contracts?
@@JM-bo7ko lol him and his wife were rich well before he was the PM 😂
It’s their money. Why are people so jealous?
@@diviabopaiah1397 Using his power and knowledge as the PM, not doing his job m8. No one is jealous of him
As much as the Brits jeer his resignation I am glad to see there are at least some western democracies where a peaceful transfer of power is still the expectation.
One branch of the uniparty handing control to the other branch. Big deal. Couldn’t get a cigarette paper between Lib Lab or Con on any major policy area: Immigration, tax, energy, the proxy war in Ukraine, child grooming & castration. All identical policies.
Good point thank you. Should remember that really.

@@brickmissing8295 You lost. Get over it! 😅😅
Are you hinting America?, wink wink!
The amount of prime ministers that didn’t finish their term or weren’t even voted in a row is so weird.
In fairness you don’t ever really vote the prime minister in
The problem with the UK is you don’t vote for the person, but the party, so they can change leadership whenever, that to me is not real democracy, when they change leaders, they are not voted in.
In Canada we have a prime minister who won’t leave or resign.

Honestly, I’m from America and I WISH concession speeches were this nice.
They were in the past, from Republicans and Democrats alike. Trump and MAGA cultists changed all that.
Right. Instead of the loser of the election screaming Fraud.
They used to be before Trump
he’s reading from a script written by someone else. he means none of it. it’s pr.
As a Chinese person, I’m amazed that a government official says sorry to people. I’ve never heard this in my country
He’s just saying it he doesn’t mean it
nor in Germany ..
Narcissistic people play on heart strings. Liars know what to say at the right time.
Because he doesn’t need to be responsible for anything, of course easy to say “sorry” plus will earn him some credits from people politically naive like you…….as extra bonus………😂
To the Brits watching, DO NOT take this for granted, this graceful and peaceful transfer of power, that is.
Trump went peacefully as well.
@@tas466are you sure?
@@tas466 🤣🤣 Thank god america isnt the epitome of democracy anymore. Trump and Biden are laughing stock for us.

The sign language interpreter deserves an Oscar 🤣
00:48 made me think it’s another imposter interpreter
I was suspicious, he was too animated, LOL. reminded me of the female African American interpreter. 🤣
You’re 150 million quid out, don’t be bitter, working hard and making a lot of money isn’t a bad thing.
same feeling xd
Charlie chapplin looks just old in 2024…
Even the sign language is in a British accent
😂😂😂 wow, I feel the same
i would say… full of emotions…. 🤣
😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
No such thing as a British accent
😂
Why is Rishi saying sorry when Boris, Penny, Liz just leave and don’t say sorry. Looks Like Rishi has paid the price of picking their baggage up.
Why Penny?
💯
I agree with you.
Because Boris and Liz had nothing to apologise for. Sunak was a dud and knew he was a dud put in place by a disconnected 1922 committee.
Maybe he was more polite than the others.😅
Well… I truly believe that if Rishi was a white charismatic middle age British man, you lot would have offered him a little bit more credit. Truth is you are blaming him for what the Conservative Party did before him. When he was appointed our economy was in tatters, he brought us back to right path (check the stats). You lot must be thrilled now that you will be governed by a labour government that most certainly will very ‘kindl’ assault your pockets, pursue and send away to other shores the so hatred rich people that ironically pay billions every year to your precious NHS, free motorways and so on and on. If this is you, then well done, change has arrived.
Good Luck Rishi to you & your lovely Family. ❤❤❤
Sunak lurched to the right trying to appeal to a racist base that never considered him British anyway. That is his miscalculation – he isn’t a victim. His government, with their pandering to these groups, as are responsible as anyone for the racism you are complaining about.
Absolute nonsense
He didn’t do anything better except pocketing whatever he could. This has been proved by the election.
@@vogahl34 I can 100 percent gaurentee that you’re not british.
I feel a bit sorry for Rishi. Don’t let them put the last 14 years on him. He made some mistakes but the damage was done before he took over.
Excuse me…are you sure literally BANKRUPTING the country can be considered a “mistake”?
@@TheInsider15 The country was bankrupt long time before he came in!
He was the finance minister before being prime minster and as deep in the tory grift as anyone could get. Stop making excuses for this scumbag.
@@TheInsider15
Where do you got that? Propaganda by opposition? This change could be good or bad. Be prepare for it what you will face after this

UK has become ungovernable..
Why do you say that?!
I gave my love to Erin. She promised to be true. I went to war to come back and find five British soldiers, had their way with her. It was consensual……
A joke
They will continue to be ungovernable not untill they stop subjugating Biafrans to Slavery and steer clear from Biafrans freedom aftet keeping Nnamdi Kanu in jail dungeon were they are still torturing him. British is evil and corrupt.
In America it takes almost 3 months after election to handover power. In Britain, it takes just 1 day after the election to kick someone out of office. 😂
less than 1 day. poll closed at 10 and he resigned before lunch. lol
But these people choose to live in the States not the UK. 😂😂😂
All the votes in within 9 hours.
😂 yep! That’s how it is here pretty much 😂😂
Here in Kenya 🇰🇪 we even invaded and occupied the Parliament, ate food that was meant for the MPs but the dude refused to step down
The struggle continues.
Africa is doomed
African politicians are the same. Gracefully stepping down is a foreign concept to them. In Zimbabwe the government sent a letter threatening all citizens to not dare do what Kenyans are doing.
I salute Kenyans for protesting against 16% bread taxes. Ridiculous gov
Really!!! 😢@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298
Hahaha
I don’t care what anyone says, Sunak always has come across as a very decent man. Very eloquent.
He wilfully lied through the entire campaign. Even when reporters called him up on it, he ignored them and carried on.
Yes he is
Because he is.
Obama was the same. He was also one of the worst presidents to unfortunately grace the United States.
Damn why can’t American presidents be this formal 💀
I gave my love to Erin. She promised to be true. I went to war to come back and find five British soldiers, had their way with her. It was consensual……
You know what kind of people from Europe occupied American lands in the history, thieves and clowns
Every Zimbabwean watch this,wishing our government to b honest and love yo own ppl ❤
I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don’t need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k,but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million
You work for 42yrs to have $2m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $20k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
Thanks for continuing updates I’d rather trade the stock market as it’s more profitable. I make an average of $42,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
I’m favoured financially, Thank you Jesus $36,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
How
..? Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?
Thanks to Mrs Maria Davis.
Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son’s brain surgery (David), Now I’m no longer in debt after I invested $12,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Christy Fiore🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..
Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I’m a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦 of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Christy Fiore.
She’s a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son’s surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
