There should have been an election the moment, Cameron quit, when Boris quit, when May quit, when Truss had her weekend.

He’s made his money now time to flee the sinking ship

[Citizenesse]

This guy was such a sad time wasting disaster. He was awful from the moment he opened his mouth. I hope things get better for the U.K. and for America, for the world really.

[kenwetherell]

About time we need this government out of power they are crippling our country

[aitkensecurity]

The rain is a perfect metaphor for his tenure. I hope that we see genuine change this election.

[Therealtoymaker]

Rumours have it that he waited for it to rain to do this speech to make you think he cares

[marcusj]

15 years in power...What have the Tories done?

[polygonalmasonary]

Finally, a chance to fix the NHS, the roads, public transport, teachers pay, the police, every public sector service that the Conservatives have run into the ground. Please UK, get it right this time and vote Labour. The political party that initiated the NHS in 1945 and the best people to fix it now! 👍🙏🇬🇧🌈♥️

[FunnyOrNot]

If you think things will change if we have a different government then you’re delusional

[kallekas]

Watching this from afar in Australia Sunik’s Government looks like a disaster.

[paganant]

Can we call that our Independence day from rishi sunak

[mikeomolt]

Sad day. Someone's been crying on his shoulder.

[durabo]

Seppuku by Rishi. Tories will require a generation to recover from Johnson, Truss and Sunak

[snchmti]
