Rishi Sunak Resigns, Announces He Will Quit as Tory Leader
Breitbart ^ | 07/05/2024 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Posted on 07/05/2024 6:11:08 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The defeated leader of the Conservative Party, which suffered its worst election result in well over a century overnight, has said he is stepping down from power and will also give up control of what remains of his political faction.

“I have heard your anger, disappointment and I take responsibility for this loss,” said Rishi Sunak on Friday morning at the podium in front of Downing Street. The Prime Minister acknowledged the country has given a clear signal that it wants change, and said he would go to King Charles III to tender his resignation.

The Prime Minister immediately got in his official car to make the short journey from his official residence to the King’s at Buckingham Palace, just a short walk away. The Royal Standard was hastily hauled up at the building shortly before to denote the King’s arrival. During his ongoing cancer treatment, Charles has been living in the countryside.

“Going to be 20 times worse with labour”
True, but at least the Conservatives can rebuild with a new leadership.

Britain will be back in the EU before Christmas.

Once again, the Chajin corollary comes true: nothing is ever settled, until it is settled the way the left wants it settled. The irony is that, if France and Germany go the way of Italy and Hungary, Britain may well be the furthest left of all the EU countries.

What a cluster funk for the UK
But the Tory party got so lazy and stupid they could not even stop illegal immigrant boats from France. Plus they were mostly in on Net Zero and other destructive Greenie policies.

They became money grubbing deal makers for their wealthy donors and friends, like our RINOs here in USA.

**************** You know how the Pakistani populations swells so much that they take over London with their own Muzzie mayor? They do this by having their offspring go to Pakistan to find marriage partners. The Pakistani family pays big money to the UK family for their son or daughter to be brought to the UK. For the Paki family to get a toehold in the UK.

All done so the Paki family can flood into the UK via BS family reunifications..

He’s super rich. Can move over here and take a bow for doing his part to wreck Britain.

"Britain will be back in the EU before Christmas.

I concur. Labor had a net gain of +210 seats. The Tory's suffered a net loss of -244 seats.

Compare that to the vote on December 20, 2020 when Parliament approved Brexit. That vote passed 512 to 73.

Anybody that voted for Boris Johnson because he sold himself as a champion of Brexit must be furious.

Sunak ran the party into the ground and resigns.

“Rishi Sunak” there’s a nice English name. Please keep Hindus from power in all western countries.

Sunak could have done a worse job if he came to power intending to do a bad job. The Tories should disband and throw what’s left of their support behind Farange before it’s too late. It may already be too late.

Why? Their religion hasn’t caused us any trouble, unlike some other religion.

Agreed. Even a RINO like Sunack is better than a Communist.

Reform split the right. If this article is to be believed, in votes, Labour did worse than in the previous election, but got more seats. Sunak’s timing was good, but he hadn’t reckoned on Reform hiving off such a big chunk of the Tory vote. It hadn’t, in previous outings. His mistake? He should have found a way to accommodate Farage, headed off the Tory schism.

[Sir Keir won a commanding majority in the commons overnight, taking 412 seats to the Conservatives’ 121. Yet the election is one of the most extraordinary and disproportionate in history: Sir Keir’s Labour appears to have won fewer votes than it did in the last election while doubling its seat count. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party got a massive 14 per cent of the vote but was only rewarded with less than one per cent of the seats.]

Look at what Hindus think about Christians and get back to me. Hindu violence in India is well documented. You cannot call yourself a western country if you allow the human poop stains from India into it, especially positions of power.
When Hindus take over a business or department they hire other Hindus. They are a cancer on the west like all non western immigrants.

Good for UK. Maybe he’ll go back to India, taking the London mayor with him.

The moral of the story here is that "conservative" parties whose leaders sign on to the globalist's agenda will suffer landslide defeats.

Sunak is the George W. Bush of Britain.

Britain will be back in the EU before Christmas.

Being in NATO and following its agenda is just as bad and pretty much the same thing. Both are part of the globalist elite infrastructure that destroys nations.

This is not what you would post here 10 years ago. You were high on immigration, legal an illegal.

I admire the Chajin corollary. I'd like to quote it from time to time. When did you first publish it, here or elsewhere?
