UK Prime Minister Sunak to resign as Conservative Party leader
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to step down following a humiliating electoral defeat.
In his farewell speech outside Downing Street, Sunak reportedly said, "I have heard your anger," and he said that he would resign once a new party leader was chosen, according to BBC News.
Following his meeting with the King this morning, Keir Starmer will take over as prime minister.
14 years of Conservative rule in the UK have come to an end with Labour's resounding victory in the general election. Notable Conservative losses include former prime minister Liz Truss.
In other places, the SNP loses scores of seats while the Lib Dems gain enormous ground.
Rishi Sunak concluded by calling the United Kingdom the greatest nation on earth.
He quickly hops in a car and drives off from Downing Street.
According to Sunak, "how unremarkable it is" is one of the most amazing aspects about the UK.
He continues by describing how, two generations after his grandparents' arrival in the UK, he became prime minister.
Sunak continues by thanking his girls and wife as well as his coworkers.
He expressed his inability to express his gratitude for all they have done to enable him to serve his country.
