WATCH: Rishi Sunak's Witty & Stern Speech In UK Parliament As LoP Is Viral

Rishi Sunak Speech: Former British prime minister and Conservative leader Rishi Sunak offered some light-hearted advice to his successor, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, as he congratulated him for his decisive victory in the recently concluded UK General Election. "Life comes at you fast. Soon, you might be fortunate enough to be tapped on the shoulder and offered a junior ministerial role,” Sunak said during his first official speech as UK Opposition Leader in Parliament, referring to his appointment as a junior Treasury minister before being promoted to Chancellor under Boris Johnson’s premiership.

How nice and graceful is the speech by Mr Sunak.

What a masterful and courtesy speech Rishi gave as the Leader of the Opposition - a truly British and honourable address! Well Done!

[freedom]

Classy, Gracious and funny at the same time. That’s how opposition of every nation should speak.

[davidtuer]

Rishi finding being in opposition easier than being PM I think. I hope the Government is equally well mannered in dealing with the opposition.

[nickevans]

I voted for neither Labour nor the Conservatives. But I wholeheartedly agree with the other comments, This was a brilliant and memorable speech - even later praised and appreciated by Keir Starmer. I do not think I have ever heard a better response, from the Opposition, to a Queen's, and now King's, Speech or from the leader of the Party which has just lost a General Election. It is a pity that he will not be continuing as Leader of the Opposition. He was the one member of the then Tory Government who deserved praise for most of his measures as Chancellor during Covid, and for the speed with which he delivered them. He will be a loss to UK politics.

[nlakhani]

Brilliant speech by a humble ex-PM, larger as a politician and more able than any of his rivals from within and outside his party.

This is called democracy. Rishi Sunak is highly educated, suave, intelligent and a perfect gentleman. Hats off to the LoP for his excellent speech.

[simongleed]

What a guy, he tried very hard to get it right for the country but Labour were always on the attack and made it very difficult for the Conservatives to get things through - Great Speech Rishi.
