"I give him a week."
"I give him 11 minutes."
Seriously I don't expect anyone to last long until an actual election takes place.

Promising speech, but it doesn't take away from the revolving door of chaos. Hope he does do better than his predecessors, but as he says "trust is earned"

[amaral]

Could you fix the video speed? There's a delay between his voice and image

[aarushverma]

Hopefully he does better than the pervious ones. Good luck to him.

[vivspeedy]

can I hear The song "I predict a riot" XD

Norman Lamont (John Major’s ex-Chancellor) said this was the best acceptance speech by a PM since Margaret Thatcher. Let’s see how he goes (it’s an uphill struggle created by his own party) but for now I’m just relieved Truss and Boris are gone.

Great speech. Good luck from India. All the best.

*Sunak is in the top 0.001% richest in the UK and is married to a billionaire* Let that sink in.

Austerity level 100 here we come. Can't wait to hear the man sitting on a $730, 000, 000 fortune tell us how we will all need to make sacrifices.

Lots of Indian comments saying how proud they are of an Indian PM of the UK. Wonder how many would be proud of Boris becoming leader of India

[evehewitt]

There is a lot of pressure but try to understand the people their incomes are doing much less than before. I wish you all the best

Did anyone notice that what sounded like a small violin in the background 😅

Promising speech but actions speak louder than words

[lex]

He's the most plausible leader the conservatives have offered up in a long time. British politics has been broken for a long time. Best of luck to Riahi to turn that around x

[gmsfilms]

Is the audio not syncing right for everyone?

[nicholasporter]

Watched his interview with Piers Morgan & he actually came across as a really nice down to earth person!

[cyberxira]

I love the fact that I predict a riot is playing in the background in this 😅😂🤣

[andrewthurman]

Yep, he's a ruling "elite" ..translation: we all need to sacrifice.... means the rich will have taxes lowered and working people will get austerity and the bill for the country's debt.

[sunshineland]

He energizes and inspires even an American such as myself. But actions speak louder than words. I hope he delivers what he has promised. Best wish to you, Mr. Prime Minister!

[kayleesnowden]

You can’t tell me that the press and his colleagues actually took in a word he said when a song like that is playing in the background!🤘🏼🤣. I’m sorry, but I dare anyone to try listening to this video all the way through without singing along to it in your
