Formidable task of resolving all the damage my party has done for the past 14 years, is what Sunak actually meant.

[frostbite]

Yeah its going to be formidable task to clean 14 years of mess created by the Tories.

[KeshinWings]

Who made it a formidable task, Rishi?

WHO MADE IT A FORMIDABLE TASK?!

[noumanchoudry]

If nothing else you have to give credit to the fact in Britain we still accept the election results not like in USA 👏👏👏

[MarlboroughBlenheim]

Rishi will be out into a new job soon earning millions. He looks more relieved to finally have lost than Starmer looks happy to have won.

As a political term, Tory was an insult (derived from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe, modern Irish tóraí, meaning "outlaw", "robber", from the Irish word tóir, meaning "pursuit" since outlaws were "pursued men") that entered English politics during the Exclusion Bill crisis of 1678–1681. The Conservative Party wears the name with pride... Go figure

[kungfustuey]

He somehow confused 'constituents and country' with 'oursevles'.
Easy mistake.

[anonymous-iuth]

First respectable thing he's done so far

[mini-carnage]

" we all serve our constituents, big business and the Israeli lobby."

It's a shame his words, however honourable and well meaning they sound, ring hollow after the time he spent in government betraying duties to the majority of his constituents.

[jasonbuksh]

Well done Rishi for conceding elegantly

[freddietodd-ward]

Anyone else think his mum made him do it so he could have desert?

[auliashandy]

Great gentleman to Accepted for all will accure and recognized the other on victory

[maxbean]

Well said I say. I'm from Leeds and was brought up to 'not like the Tories' to say the least. Say what you want about Rishi, and there's a lot to be said, at the end he was gracious and stood to a principle of fair play and transfer of power. With the world as it is, It'll take and recognise that.

[danieldipalma]

Rich politicians Don't serve their constituents, only themselves and each other.

[tryingmybest]

Hard to swallow this as he bashed the Saville button vigorously

[alanjameshorner]

id forgotten what politicians being respectful to each other sounded like.

[Mark-hitq]

I thought I’d just caught a clip of a stand up comedy show

[MrRanvijay]

Rishi is a great leader 👏👏👏 World leaders love him
