I am of Indian origin and I am glad Rishi did not win, I like him and believe he means well. However, Britian is like the sinking Titanic, it really does not matter who leads now, but whoever does lead will be blamed for the sinking forever.

I am happy for Rishi. Now let Liz handle all the mess created by her predecessor.

Analysts intentionally, and devilishly, projected Sunak as a male-dominant, aristocratic candidate not worthy of being the PM while totally playing down his fountain of fiscal knowledge and hard facts. But then again, what if it's a blessing in disguise for Rishi?

[sampharoj]

Rishi not being pm might be a loss for an Indian (origin) but truss being pm is a win for India against its adversaries

[rsdvwyl]

As a Russian, I will say that elections are overestimated. So the British had a choice, they chose the same Johnson only in a skirt... and what's the point?

Ma'am, yesterday I was reading in news paper that Palki ma'am quites WION, I didn't like hearing that.
Today when you started to say " Hello and Welcome I'm Palki Sharma Upadhyay" - now I feel good.
Thank you.

Well done, Rishi... Congratulations, Truss! I don't know why we are seeing this as a loss when both belongs to the same party (Conservative Party)… Remember, it is not the "instrument" (pm) but the "artist" (party) who makes the music...!

"Cut Taxes, and lift the economy", yeah like that's going to happen. I don't care if the PM is from a rich background or a poor background. All I care is who can manage a country. If history has been of an eye opener, not all leaders coming from a poor background, realise how poor live their lives, once in power.

It’s good that she won, if Rishi were to win, and if shit go wrong especially with gas situation going on right now in Uk. I feel like they could’ve blamed Rishi and India all together.

[SARONable]

More Tax cuts, more freebies, more inflation.. 🤣🤣🤣

[tremonro]

As an English man living in Britain I agree with some of the comments about a sinking ship but we are still getting thousands of illegal immigrants crossing over from France. They should have stayed in France we are going to be very cold this winter with no power because there will not be enough to go round and only the rich we be able to pay for it.

Where ever palki goes I am there... All the best for the future endeavors. 💓 Palki is one among those great people who got me interested in global affair. Huge respect for not making many a frog in the well...

[tishfoster]

The British economy is a disaster. Inflation is excessively high! Who was the chancellor preceding this horrendous situation? Oh… Rushi Sunak. ! Whoever has this job has a very difficult road ahead!

[sweechen]

The Tory Party membership just gave up on the next election. The question is what state the UK would be in by then.

[simplemeal]

An Asian should not be the PM of UK!!! For those who think it’s racist name one Asian country that isn’t racist by legislation or has any non Asian in the parliament or government or whatever!

[Best_grass]

A rich liar tax evader or a woman who doesn't know what to do, the choices were terrible, Brits wanted general elections

[NoBullshittt]

Congratulations to Truss 👍 very difficult timings across the globe and highly challenging expectations by UK and the world from you. Sunak, well done, don't lose heart 😎

[xXx.......]

Im indian and I must say it's better for Liz to be the PM of UK due to her ethnicity. We have to understand, india will always be lead by indian PM, japanese will be lead by japanese PM, china will be lead by Chinese PM. That's how it is, it's better to have Liz as PM to avoid future conflict of interest.

[novelmartis]

Well tried Rishi Sunak and Congratulations to Lizz Truss for her Winning Race as the next new UK PM
God Bless You Lizz Truss and God Bless whole UK🙏

[elfkey]

If Rishi had won, the headline would have been "Britain not ready for another female leader" Can never really win nowadays
