Rishi Sunak becomes PM: A new dawn for Britain? • FRANCE 24 English

IN THE PRESS - Tuesday, October 25: We bring you reactions from the British and international papers after Rishi Sunak's historic rise to Prime Minister. Also, we look at a new documentary tracing the harrowing story of a woman who testified posthumously against her attacker after being doused in petrol and set alight. Finally, a new study shows that cats are much more communi-cat-ive when their owners speak to them in sweet, sultry tones!

I wish PM Sunak the very best to lead the UK into Economic prosperity which is much needed to turn around the uncertain times.

इस बार तो दीपावली बहुत लंबी चलने वाली है। सभी सनातनी, सिख, मुस्लिम, बुद्ध, जैन, पारसी और यहूदी भाइयों को बहुत बहुत बधाई हो। जो भी भारतीय उप महाद्वीप का खून हैं।

Stop press...It has been confirmed Boris Johnson did have over the 100 MPs needed to take the vote to the conservative membership and would have won the premiership.This would have spooked the markets so a deal to was done with rishi

[mayavik]

Rishi Sunak will get Britain's economy to surpass that of India and Indians be like 'We didn't want this'.

[VietnamTravelGuide.]

I think it will make a difference, it will be good for everyone and for Britain's prosperity

Rishi Sunak shaking the hand of the king of England is such an ironic photo. It took nearly 70 years for UK to get a King and roughly the same time for an Indian descent to rise to the top to lead the country, now that's a coincidence and it all happened in the same year 2022 !!!

Hope he leads forward his country in peril; and with it a small feather on Indian hardwork and persistence!!

The new era of Hinduism has just begun

I like how he said, Unite or Die. Felt some one had to say that seeing the Circus. Hope he puts an End.

Both Obama and sunak have Kenyan roots so Kenya does make its mark on the geopolitical scene apart from athletics

[jboycaceres]

A new dawn indeed, as for the rest of western Europe. UK now has an Indian origin PM while its capital has Pakistani as mayor. The children of immigrants are now rising from the fringe. Soon as the native Europeans love animals/pets more than human baby, Europe will see a total transformation—well at least in the western part.

*Indian 🇮🇳 achivement in 75 years after colonial rule - beat UK and become 5th largest economy🔥 and Indian 🇮🇳 origin hindu at highest position on UK🎉*
*UK achivement - after looting 45 trillion from India and trillions from other countries🧐 now facing economic crisis 😂😂 I think 🤔 they not use it properly🤣*

[ЕвгенийКузнецов-здр]

If he continues the anti-Russian policy of previous prime ministers, then the same fate awaits him. Let him take care of the internal affairs of the country

[elishajohnson]

They make a prime minister sound like he has more power than the monarch this is like a bunch of babies talking about which candy is better

[matseporamaboli]

If you are meant to be a leader, you will be one, vote or no vote!

[tomwaller]

The new PM will now cut public services so they can be sold to US Health Insurance companies in a bargain UK fire sale. The people of Scotland will not stand for that and vote a large majority for SNP and Social Democracy. I am sure we have the support of the people of France when I tell you Independent Scotland will apply to join the EU and work very hard to not just meet EU membership requirements but exceed them.

Congratulations to Rishi Sunak .... Best of luck...
