UK general election: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak concedes defeat and says Labour has won | BBC News

PM Rishi Sunak holds his seat in Richmond and Northallerton, Yorkshire but says he takes responsibility for Conservatives losing the election.

Speaking after it was announced that he'd held on to his seat, he says "Labour has won this election" and that he's called Keir Starmer to congratulate him.

"Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides. That is something that should give us all confidence in our country's stability and future."

Labour is expected to win 410 seats, with the Conservatives on 144.

They tried every camera shot humanely possible to hide the "L" sign.

The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich. These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.

That fact that Niko was just casually allowed to stand behind the PM (of former PM) holding an L sign is astonishing

[euminxniumthescottishone]

Not Niko creating his next video in the background during the most important UK election 💀

[junkdimeji]

Did someone hold a literal "L" behind Sunak? Dang, UK is wild!

[CantEscape.M]

Niko holding the "L" sign is absolutely genius. 🤣💀🇬🇧

[BungoV]

I love how Rishi Sunak can say so much without saying anything at all.

[seanlxgue]

That was genius Niko holding the “L” sign 🤣🤣🤣

[dman]

To the bloke holding up the 'L' behind him 😂👏👏👏

[djoldschool]

*Sunak on phone* - ‘Hello, British Airways, 4 tickets to LA please. Just one way.’

[SerperiorWeeb]

Niko holding that L made it worth staying up to see this XD

[kamil-ptxl]

Hope they don't take away his sky tv after losing.

[zaighamalbaloshi]

Feels Rishi Sunak already prepared his conceding speech, as if he was sure it was coming 😊

[danielsmith]

Niko creating the video of the century in the background 🤣😂

[cachecow]

Thank goodness he kept his seat, it's not like Britain needs another unemployed billionaire

[jaker]

Niko holding the L and looking around like he was expecting the Prime Minister's security detail to jump him.

[landminenetworks]

The amount of people that clapped for the 160 votes guy😅

[TheOrlandoTrustfull]

It baffles me that after everything, 23, 000 people voted him as their MP. This is a man who couldn't be arsed to visit a WW2 memorial.

[hamzahsaiyed]

Rishi should sign up for the national service now that he is unemployed.

SUNAK : I am going to Ruwanda for next PM candidate
