"It's not going to be the united launch that Rishi would have hoped for"

Rishi Sunak's snap election announcement in a "sodden suit" is "not the launch the Tories wanted", says Tim Montgomerie founder of Conservative Home.

    Soggy Sunak talking twaddle in the pouring rain to the backdrop of Blair's favourite theme was the Tory Party in microcosm...
  • @user-eg4dv1bm2e
    When you compare Sunak's speech and Starmer's speech, I'll take Starmer anyday - he already looked like a PM.
  • Looked like a Prime Minister resigning, not like a Prime Minister rallying the people for a general election.
  • He's already packed his bags and has a nice new role to play, lile the rest of the WEF puppets....
  • @SN-zb7ew
    Did he honestly just say that their inflation is low than the United States?????
  • @Charmer370
    The Tory ship is taking on water ... just like Mowgli's Suit
  • Honesty integrity truth Rikki no way Mr Pinnochio Needs counselling
  • British DECLINE is gradual, but constant and consisten and is accelerating... by the time your kids have grown up it is completelly different country in negative sence, there is no stopping of this decline in sight. UK became LAUGHING STOCK in 20 years time
  • They only despair, because they don,t want to lose their vast unearned salarys, generous expenses, and cushy lifestyle. This is first and foremost: a career for them, and running the country always comes second. There is no way these people despair that Labour may ruin their handiwork lol, this is all to do, as mentioned: with them having to find another job, that may not pay as much, if they lose their seats.
  • The UK is done, its poor now, give it another few years and the country will be finished .
  • @mattharvey515
    Shouldn't that be, "British citizens despair at the prospect of a Labour, or Conservative, government"?
  • @Helen-nl9lv
    The iconic image of the UK pm soaked to me skin begging for votes. Cringeworthy...... Is his hair 100% waterproof?

    Our beautiful country is gone.. Mo need to list what's wrong as its openly obvious. Governments hinder not help and then they swan off leaving thousands of people in survival mode. Resilience is going to be the key factor here as we are fed up with lies and this ego shouting too & fro. Action is needed towards the whole mess a few have made. We like the challenge & thrill but be aware...if we sort thus out without any Government . Our future will change for GOOD
  • It is time for change.The Tories have been in power for a very long time.Their record is not credible.(It’s not only knowing what to do,it’s how you do it).I wish I was Prime Minister.My Policy,would be,”You Ain’t Seen Yet”.Believe me,I would put the U.K. back on it’s feet,and I would look after the Working People. I have studied Psychology and Philosophy.Human Behaviour,Cognition,Mind and Matter play an Important Part in our Life’s.When you look at something, you do not look at one part,you must look at everything.

    And now, he wants to conscript my 18 year old grandson. What an utter buffoon.
