“I’m a fighter, not a quitter—“

*quits one month after becoming PM*

Well from Winston Churchill saying that Indians are incapable of governing themselves to The UK getting an Indian origin PM and also the leader of the conservative party is quite something.

You don't even have to choose your leaders anymore.. It's like democracy, but easier!

We Indians will call him as 1st Governor General of UK 😂🙏

[DjDeadpig]

At this point, every week we are going to have a new prime minister

Would be great if we could get to vote on who the leader of the country is at some point…

He is living proof that any British male can be rich by working hard, being very smart, and marrying an heiress.

[Ozzyboy]

He literally said what was going to happen 😂

The irony of an Indian descendant being prime minister of the UK does not escape the world.

Cameron lacked foresight.
May lacked compassion.
Boris lacked integrity.
Liz lacked professionalism.
Let's see how Rishi turns out.

Rishi means Wise - may he be so for everyone . All Blessings

When I need a good laugh I turn to British politics 😂🤣🤣🤤

[vst]

As an Indian I can understand the heartburn of English people 😂🙏

Finally a PM chosen not based on the colour of his skin or humour, but their skill and results

[rakeshranjan]

BBC: who is rishi sunak?
Rishi sunak: I m your new boss

[anntan]

I hope Sunak will stay and not every 6 weeks we have a new Prime minister
