The 2024 election’s ‘Portillo moments’: which ‘big beasts’ have lost their seats? ►

[@pastrana21]

i mean. it was not just sunak's fault. its the entire conservative party since brexit. how embarassing for a country to go through the amount of leaders we have all from the same party over the past few years. It shows that its not just the prime minister, but the party itself that is an issue.

You told us to judge you on your pledges, consider yourself judged

Make sure you get your sky box mate, don't want you living in hardship.

Translation. "I'm now more wealthy than before, anyway seeya"

It’s ok Rishi you’ve made you and your wife a fortune at the expense of the tax payer, your work is done.

[@sparkles877]

He doesn't give af. Never has and never will

[@davieboy45123]

Does this mean his wife has to pay tax now?

[@MissUnderstood-f9l]

It's great to see a humble man handing over power without any sense of malice, pride or prejudice. His comments on Kier Stamer were kind, professional and considered. This speech highlights the difference between someone like Donald Trump who refused to accept defeat and a gentleman like Rishi Sunak.

I first started watching politics in around 2013 when Cameron was in power. So bizarre to see the last of the Tories.

WHEN THE CURTAIN FALLS IT’S TIME TO LEAVE THE STAGE

Don't let the door hit you on the way out

[@ryanrobbins2363]

As an American it’s amazing to see a politician resign while taking responsibility for their actions and apologizing to their people. Meanwhile wishing the next administration the best of luck. I’m so jealous right now.

They're fine. Pockets full. Off they go......

[@MarquesJo71]

Is he taking the £40 billion worth of useless PPE he bought with him ?

[@martinrobinson9061]

We all knew he was on his private plane ✈️ back to LA. 😊

[@peterjhillier7659]

Though I loathe the Tories, the Rightwing and all it stands for this was a gracious Speech.

I am an Indian and I don't know much about British politics and it's nuances.

[@4ujase]

Sunak will be credited as the Indian billionaire, who became the unelected PM and singlehandedly made the Tories extinct. Still, it matters not to him, it's about personal aggrandisement and social accolade that he was once the UK PM. After diner speeches' are now £100K.

I'll run next time
