LIVE: Rishi Sunak resignation speech

Rishi Sunak is expected to make a statement outside No 10 at 10.30am before heading to Buckingham Palace to resign as prime minister. Starmer will then see the King, return to Downing Street and speak from its steps at about 12.20pm. He is expected to appoint the cabinet in full today. Sir Keir Starmer will address the nation as prime minister this afternoon after winning a Labour landslide like Tony Blair’s in 1997.

The bank has been robbed Thankyou from me and my wife for the profit we have made, the tax we have saved, good look to Kerr, but we will be ok it has allowed me to line our pockets and our families.

Is that the wife that's lived and earned billions but is classed as non dom status so she don't pay tax her even standing there is an insult to the taxpayer

He took over when the ship was already on the bottom of the ocean.

[jacquelinestuart]

Ha ha, his wife is standing there with an umbrella in case he gets caught in the rain again!

[kevinmillington]

Off to play with his millions of pounds worst pm in history

That's British elegance at its best. Mr Sunak surely has lost the people's support, but at least he knows how to say goodbye proudly and honorably. I wish him and his family all the best.

It's truly pitiful to compare this gentleman with the clown we Spaniards have as a prime minister, drowned in corruption and in cahoots with the worst scum in Spanish political cadre just to keep him in power. Spain at its lowest.😢

Dont forget to take that £40 billion worth of useless PPE with you.

Steven Spielberg’s ET looks different in 2024.

[davidsmith]

Oh well at least he can now afford Sky TV the whole company. See his was prepared with an umbrella this time😂😂

[bradleywilkinson]

Comment section is an embarrassment, littered with people throwing mud at a man that has achieved more in the last few years, than many will achieve in a lifetime. While we may disagree in politics, we have to see that neither side is the enemy, but someone with slightly different views to us. Our core values as a nation are broadly aligned, and this is still one of the best countries to live in in the world, I think the best, minus some of the lazy chav’s that are glued to their phone and parrot everything they’ve heard on TikTok as if it’s fact.

[Sam-tqre]

I congratulate President Putin on the downfall of Rishi Sunak and his party, and tomorrow Macron, Biden, and others in the name of Jesus, Amen.

[ryanohara]

You almost kind of feel sorry for Rishi Sunak for losing the election! Then you realise why he and the Conservative Party lost! Then you think Na! You are just glad they are now out!

[markprendergast]

Praises the British and drives off in a German car

[tvlxvrl]

Good riddance, you may go away on a boat trip ha ha your famous words. All stop the boats 😅

[yassemin]

Bit frustrating you aren't capable of editing out the five minutes of absolutely zero coverage waiting for him to come out!

[valerymonneron]

Reform in immigration and firing his half-Mauritian secretary Suella Braverman, backfired his popularity.

[anuraktaray]

He may have lost the elections but has won in life. Having a partner who holds his hand through thick and thin!

[Kiki]

Don't you think he looks tired? 🤔

[jeremyknott]

HE REALLY TRIED...BUT USED THE WRONG TOOLS FROM THE WRONG TOOL

[fatoufrancescambow]

Disagreed with our Prime Minister on so many things…but found him the most technically interesting person when it came to actually proposing and implementing novel ideas during the COVID epidemic. I think the UK’s Conservative Party pays today for its stance during the COVID epidemic : they followed the motions but not at all with the enthusiasm Brussels and « the global elite » wanted them to. Who trusts KS?
