- “Rishi Sunak is not stupid. He knows his party's in trouble. I think he must know, deep in his soul that he will not be prime minister a week after the next general election.”
Rishi Sunak knows the possibility of a hung parliament is “nonsense”, says former president of YouGov Peter Kellner.

Sunak won’t be PM the morning after the GE.
quite right, he will resign and be off to L.A. with his millions and his green card
2:53
2:55
Exactly Labour are going to win 😂😂😂😂
And thats a good thing for the majority.
No. He will have been replaced by Starmer. No resignation required.
Correction: rishi sunak will cease to be prime minister ON THE NIGHT of the general election!
the real question is will he be the leader of the covid after dinner party party
The people of u.k don’t trust a hypocrite like him to run this country!!!!!!!!!!
The result will not be known until the next morning.
No, he'll only stop being be PM when the King asks Labour to form a government. That won't happen until he concedes which will be the following day. Technically if it were a hung parliament it could take weeks but that's obviously very unlikely in this election.
1. will the parliament be well hung? 2. wont sunak be PM until the incoming PM is sworn in and there is a formal handover ?@@davidmurphy563
GAME IS UP SUNAK 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sunak will resign as leader of the tory party as soon as they announce a new party has won, and then he'll resign as an mp and move to live in the US.
He will go to his mother land india and join the Hindu hardline bjp rss government which is destroying India with racism towards minorities………
Hopefully tactical voting will force him to lose his seat in his constituency
@@joshuaherbert2472I don't agree with "tactical voting" but it has always gone on.
His passport should be revoked pending criminal investigations
@@BAmalakas Well Tony Blair was never investigated.
Sunak donated 3 million to one of the best American schools near his property in the states. He has no intention of sticking around in opposition, not part of his plan to be seen as a loser.
Rishi sunak MUST resign now.
He must resign and call a GE. (Fixed it for you).
You are right about that for sure.
Why? He hasn't enriched himself enough yet.
Do late
Never to DARKEN OUR DOORSTEPAGAIN
Giving Cameron a peerage, then Sunak appointing him as FM was the last nail in the Tory coffin....
Condomhead Lord Cameron
Election night pi55 up everyone...take a drink every time a Tory loses their seat 😂
In all fairness.. if Mr Blobby stood i think we'd all prefer to put our trust in him
.. vote Blobby
The country did that in 2019...
I can't see the difference between Mr Blobby and Saint IKEA Starmer.

@@dragonfly6908you’ve been expertly programmed
Looking forward to a good majority for labour I'll be staying up all night and binge watching 👍
Amen 🙏
Starmer A Bad joke
I sincerely hope Sunak will not be PM long before the election…
There's not a lot of 'long before the election' left..
@@AlpacaHacker 😅😉 Hopefully!
Yay yet another unelected prime minister, so they'll lose by even more. So you meant to say he won't even be an MP the day after the election?
Why so..
They have to have an election by the end of January 2025.
YouGov poll today puts Labour on 48%, Tories 18% (almost Liz Truss territory...)...this would leave Tories with just 13 MPs...
@IronThreads9 We can only hope.
What turnout does it predict? A massive Labour majority is just as effective in Parliament whether it's achieved on a 80% turnout. But what it means in terms of electoral endorsement is very different.
Isn't Nadhim Zahawi the owner of YouGov? I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it sounds like a expectation-management psy ops thing. Tell the public we'll get no seats and 1) scare more right-leaning people into voting for us 2) ensure less people vote Labour out of over-confidence 3) claim we performed better than the nay-sayers had predicted. It's a win-win.
@@georgesdelatour why? If the people who would normally vote Tory don't bother to go and vote then yes turnout is going to be lower but just because some people who know their vote won't make a difference couldn't be arsed to go and vote against them doesn't mean Labour would have less of a mandate
@@Pegaroo_ Labour’s proposed “New Britain Constitution” represents a massive change in the way we’re governed. Don’t you agree? Personally I think that such extreme constitutional changes should be put to the voters in a Referendum. Even if you disagree with me on that, I think a Labour victory on a low turnout is less of a mandate for such changes than a Labour victory on a high turnout.
For me, constitutional changes are fundamentally different from policy changes. If Keir Starmer wins on even a modest turnout and the decides to nationalise 100% of the UK economy, I will support his right to do it, because I’d know people could always vote him out and reverse the policy at the next election if they don’t like how it turns out. But Starmer’s proposed constitutional changes are intended to make it impossible for any future government, of left or right, of even 100% popularity, to undo Blairism.
I am definitely not a Tory supporter but Sunak needs to go immediately. I was brought up in a Labour themed environment. Served as an A.E.U. engineering union shop steward, served as a member of the district committee A.E.U. Lots of support for Stammer and Rayner 😮 I hope they live up to expectations. I'm not holding my breath.
For sure, his only purpose now is to be the fall guy for the looming drubbing in the polls.
No, he's after that Indian trade deal. The only reason he's in politics in the first place.
🎯
Ousted? I imagine he's already renewed his green card application and will be off to California the week after.
The fact that he held a US green card while he was the chancellor, which was only two years ago, demonstrates that he was never to committed to living in the UK. Never struck me as a particularly good look for a prospective PM. Should have ruled him out. Can you imagine the right wing press allowing a Labour leader being committed to living in another country?!
What astonishing insight...
Rishi Sunak is not managing UK. He is managing his father in law bussiness with Israel.🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭
They could put Churchhill as the leader of the Tory party and they'd still lose. Trust is gone and for most people in this country, enough is enough.
Churchill was Mass Murderer
Don't give them ideas.They will dig Thatcher up next.
Correction, Sunak will not be leader of the opposition a week after the GE
I wouldn’t even assume any Tory will be leading the opposition
Correct - Ed Davey will be
Why didn’t Rishi just call an election shortly after the local elections because from what I see the polling isn’t going to get any better for the tories
It might get better. The unions will get rid of Saint IKEA Starmer when/if he gets in power
Sunak’s. Master’s won’t won’t cough up if he defaults on their agreement.
Duh, he won’t be Prime Minister the next morning of the GE!
Yesterday would be too long. Get shut of him NOW!
He should resign and call a general election. He is not elected by people, he is selected by party.
And he wasn't even the parties first choice
Elected or selected by people - he is a leader & PM.. Why resign and why GE.. Term elected or selected doesn’t matter - running or leading the country is important.. He is working harder in every way.. Support him and his party..
@@poongodinalliannan8468 running or leading the country is important, and to do that job the leader needs legitimacy, if he was popular it wouldn't be an issue but he's not
He wont even be an mp day after the general election
This would be hilarious the current PM not even winning their own seat 🤞
And that RAT CAMERON has to go aswell
If Elphick can join the labour party, should we expect Corbin to join the Tories?
Probably, they'd make him the environment minister
He was certainly their biggest electoral asset in 2019.
On the right wing of the Tory party?
The Tories have multiple right wings Elphick supported Johnson's Liberal economic agenda which Sunak has completely junked
but
was a hardliner on migration and social policy
This is a list of what's been junked by Sunak - Net Zero, Levelling up, Social care, housing and planning, HS2/3
Such a good point. Of course Johnson was just lying about his agenda, but a lot of people believed him and voted for it.
The "Progressives" in Labour are throwing their toys out of the pram, as ever. Oh that more of them would follow Owen Jones and throw themselves out too.
What a revelation! A Prime Minister suffering a massive defeat at a General Election will lose his job. Really scraping the barrel with this political genius.
He'll do a runner to America
He's not PM now, Cameron seems to be in charge.
The leader of a govt with a 60+ seat majority in parliament promoting the idea of a hung parliament as some sort of achievement. It's just bizarre. It's like the defending champion saying that failing to successfully defend the title is a win.
He won't be pm as soon as the results announced.
Should have gone six months ago.
My piece of seaweed could have told me that
This country has no leadership worthy of voting for. How about we start spending our money on ourselves!
The country is in decay, and communities are falling apart.The roads are in a mess as well as the railways all essential for growth. Considering the taxation around every corner, this country is simply ridiculous.
How about blaming those who inflicted all of those on you first?
After all it’s the uk citizens who pay for your tory governments ineptitude and incompetence time after time.
The public will be picking up the tories tab for decades.
Won’t be much money left to spend on yourselves unless you had a PPE contract from soooonak?
So you think irs just the conservatives that borrow and spend money ???
I've heard he's staying on to do a trade deal which benefits himself and his wife, then he's either going to resign or call a GE purposely to lose it so he can go.
The Tories have run out of road. 🚙💥
So has Liebour.
@@dragonfly6908 the local elections and opinion polls disagree. You're going to be very, very disappointed, sunshine. 😂
It would be so sweet if Sunak lost his seat to Labour, too. He’s already lost the Mayor to them; what happens if his Constituency votes against him, too?
No Labour doesn't need Elphicke, but come on... The imagery of the MP for Dover, small boats ground zero, moving from the Tories to Labour, the first PMQs after the May elections is just not resistable. Especially as all indicators say she won't be standing again.
Well of course he won't be, he'll have lost so badly he'll be lucky to have any MPs left. Whether he'll still be an MP himself... well, assuming he does keep his seat, yeah, he'll be resigning it within days I imagine.
I will stop the boats Sunak.
More Tory lies, spin, and bullsh*t !! 😂😂😂😂
@@user-ld6ik5qm4m lol...he's such a cowardly spineless loser.
It doesn't matter who they plonk in the position of party leader (talking head) because most of the rot happens behind the scenes.
We've had so many different Prime Minister's over the past few years. Isn't it time the British public had a say??
He isn't the PM now. Never has been.
This guy might have lost his job already.
sunak will not be prime minister when the result comes in
The Conservatives seem to have a revolving door. Liz Truss was a bit like a thief in the night.
Hope he not prime minister mind you voted could be tampered with. as this government police and top authority all fraudulent all about money.
100% serious question. What has he actually done for the people of his country ? Anyone
Let’s hope they have it tonight, then
Like everything else the Tory Party says, it does not have to be true. It only has to be credible to a particular person.
Get rid of Biggles now 😂
How on earth did they get themselves tangled up in a awkward friendship we should have just continued normally like the rest of the world!
We are members of of Labour Party!
Come on kier you will do it!
He will
Working class bloke, public service record. He won’t win all people round in the party but the blokes got a tough job and I think he’s done pretty good.
@@yuna-1971I don't think the multi millionaire Saint IKEA Starmer (estimated to be worth £5 to £7 million) is familiar with "The Working Class".
@@yuna-1971 Yep, have you noticed the anti Starmer trolls out in force again. Luckily, the majority of the electorate have got better things to do than read comments sections on You Tube. Now I say that........
Did you think of that one all by yourself? Sunak won’t be Prime Minister one week after a General Election …… ha, ha, ha.
dont threaten the voters with a good time
The title of this video gets the prestigious 'Well Duh Award' for stating the bleedin' obvious.
...do they still hand out Monty pythons twit of the year 🤔🍺😂
@@Mondfischli Twit of the year only exists in Monty Python.
Can't see Sunak lasting this month our actually. Especially if there is another defection.
Don't worry , the YouGov poll always gives Labour a lead!
Lol...........but true.
108.47/48 psychologisc in suppressing.😮
Multiple polls almost every week, and we've got months to go? Those polls cost thousands, or tens of thousands, each. Who's paying for them?
"Sunak will not be Prime Minister a week after the general election."
No, The Prime Minister the next day will be Keir Starmer.
Well done to political commentators everywhere for keeping us all entertained via their insightful observations anyway! 😅😅😅
After general election not good enough lol
I have never voted Labour but if and when labour do get to run this country,which they will not deserve to do so,because instead of voting to put the safety of this country first !they have stopped everything that the Tories have tried to do to stop illegals, and cowering to Muslims and they will do anything to appease the EU, we are all going to vote Reform, please join us,
A week? I give him about 25 seconds, though no doubt he will say a 200 seat Labour majority is a hung parliament.
His legacy is he oversaw the extinction of the Tory party.
Times radio headlines are on par with the daily expresses weather predictions 😂
Shock maybe that sunak will just call the election as a surprise - problem solved.
Sunak has already planned, packed & bought the tickets for his move to Los Angeles.
He's earning extra spends at the moment.
Wouldn't be surprised (or more hope) he'll go sooner than later and the Tories take on a 'caretaker leader', with the cabinet making any policies, decisions the country needs.
Then behind the said caretaker show unity.
They expect to be the opposition, they can take a vote from their members, Parliamentary Conservative Party, et al, install their leader of the opposition - they can then lick their wounds, and get into opposition for 12 years (at least, I hope).
I'm going to hire the 'Laughing Clown' from Blackpool fairground & drive round Conservative HQ with the volume on 11.
Giving out glasses of Champagne, party hats, squeeky blowers, confetti as the votes come in, we see some big hitters losing their seats!
Going to be a good party.🎉🎉🎉
This is where british people have to come together and save their country for themselves.. Voting for torry again is same as digging the grave for the UK
Is this what passes for journalism? Not even Sunak thinks he will be PM after the election.
Sunak is even too weak to call a General Election.
Look the people havnt forgot party gate ,I’m not voting neither of them
Professor. If anything the problem is that doing things in haste. Is that these who doesn't think often don't engage sense. I had that choice back in 2019 and made a mistake back then and now I recall it only too well! I realised my mind in June of that year and heard the sermon of the then Dean of Wells Cathedral on the subject of lack of depth I listened and heard in time! I saw sense - most of the Conservative Party has thrown reason out the window now! Most of them are truly idiotic !
Finally some sense regarding the local election results. I've seen plenty of people spinning the hung parliament nonsense.
UK have been my home since 2006, I’ve always worked hard, never claimed a single benefit and no I wasn’t sending my money “back home”.
I was always intending on living here a normal life, be social, go on holidays, support local businesses, etc.
But for the last few years (since Brexit really) I can notice a massive decline in standards across the board.
Your politicians are really turning UK into a 3rd world country, so I think I will change my plans and use my EU passport to move to a country were politicians aren’t brain dead, were you don’t have to wait for months to see a doctor\specialist, or pay criminal amounts for 2.5 bed rent\mortgage - no a walk in closet is not a bedroom.
Good luck Brits you’re going to need it, then again you have voted for it so take the responsibility.
I'm sure you will be missed. God only knows how the uk will survive without you
He should have the decency to resign but he has none
The Tories are finished. The RATS are jumping ship.
Hip Hip Horay theres a Light at the end of the tunnel 👋 sunak 😂
Sunak won’t even keep his seat.
His private plane to California is already fuelled up and waiting for a take-off slot.
He doesn't need, he knew he will not win win but the payment of retirement for the prime minister is guaranteed.
The defection is pure theatre politics nothing more. News today forgot tomorrow.
Isn't there any way Sunak can CANCEL the next election? "People don't want an election now" I believe he said.....
I hope this guy wasn't paid to state the bleeding obvious that we all know already. Doh.
Ousted? He’ll certainly resign.
Who is he anyway . I never heard of him up until covid .The reason they are in trouble is Sunak😊
Rishi Sunak is already dusting off his green card application
I am hoping that the LibDems are going to form the official opposition party after the next election
Stating the obvious, don’t be a clown all your life
Former president of YouGov stating the bleeding obvious as things stand.
It's just a distraction..
He’s hanging on in there for as long as possible he’s a barnacle PM
You'd wonder why though
@@willc1294 yes what is behind all this
Sunak will be in Los Angeles after the election 😅
Cant wait to see that C gone
Sunak could improve the economy if he wanted to, but he doesn't want to anger Brexit Jesus
Times Radio gutted by this poll.
When ever the general election is ?
Is that majority still unlikely woth these numbers??
Get him gone NOW.
Rishi Sunak knows evevrything he says to the publuc is nonsense but he hasn't quite figured out that everbody else knows that too.
