The Tories are finished, they had 14 years of power but they squandered and blew it = bye-bye Mr. Soon-sacked !

Maybe he thought by standing in the rain he could wash away the stench of tory corruption 😤

I can't tell the two parties apart nowadays, but I will be glad to see the back of Sunak and Cameron.

Obviously a drowning rat.!

We voted to leave the EU so we can hold our own government to account for things like immigration. The Tories are going to be held to account and there is literally nothing they can do to stop it. The contempt they have shown their (former) voters is going to be repaid.

Sunak has no political nouse and no charisma or passion for his politics whatsoever

His Norman Wisdom suit will look even better when it shrinks more

The worst Government in living memory

Rwanda is a dead duck and the economy is in the toilet

14 years of so called austerity and the piggy bank is still empty!!!

“ Sunak’s drowned rat speech inspired no confidence.This is more embarrassing than when King Olaf ordered 20,000 viking helmets with the horns turned inwards.I tell you Baldrick, this country is finished “

The boat people will come in June 😢

Desperately trying too be a man of the people!

Rishi has solved Nigel Farage's dilemma. He can now fight the election for Reform UK and then go to the US to help Donald Trump's election campaign! Probably not a good move Rishi!

Reform for me and my family we all need a change a positive one I hope

I'm already looking forward to the next Conservative leadership contest in August.

Vote Tory or Labour the people will lose. We Brits are slowly being done in by our own , They are not on our side . Immigration multiculturalism etc etc . We never voted for any of it

Klaus Schwarb also resigned from leading the WEF. It wouldn't suprise me if Rishi is in a panic because his boss has left him out hanging high and dry. Couple that with the announcements of some countries recognising Palastine as a country and I'm left wondering if he's suddenly realised how up the creek he is with no paddle.

The WALLY WITHOUT THE BROLLY.

Will they leave a note for Labour "there is still no money and the credit card is maxed out" ?

Great. Labour government. More woke. More immigration. More national debt.

His "M" suit, has shrunk into an "S".

The economy is fragile at best after 14 years of incompetence. If you think Labour would be delighted to inherit this type of economy then your delusional.

A soggy announcement by a soggy PM. I feel sorry for Rishi: he has tried so hard to fit into British politics, embracing the neoconservative narrative regarding Ukraine, attempting to deal with immigration, both legal and illegal, despite being the son of immigrants himself, a technocratic rather than a charismatic politician. But it hasn’t worked. We know the Conservatives under his leadership will be trounced at the polls. He will be beaten by the Labour Party and their lacklustre leader Starmer. The UK is in deep trouble!

Sunak wants to get back to his rich pals in the USA, he's probably got his private plane booked and ready for the 5th July.

Good luck Englandstan 👍

Rishi increased his fortune just in one year by 125mln...i think he got enough..he will be raking even more if he goes. Why would these people care. All of them are the same.All of them..None of them will stop the boats or change anything..dont be naive.

Plenty of hot air to come. That's a given.

Sunak is laughing, he is rich. He does not care, he never did.

They just can't wait to get out...

Things can only get wetter

At least we’ll get rid of Cameron and Hunt along with Sunak

What a drip And the other is a drab.

Nigel has already declared that he won't be leading Reform, and wishes them well. I will still vote for Reform as any voice that they have in parliament will be important. Both main parties are realising that Reform can be a force to reckon with, and will hopefully start to listen to the people. For anyone concerned about the stability of the country, note that the country is run by civil servants, so UK plc will continue as normal. What we need is both main parties seeing Reform biting at their heels, and starting to listen to the people and tackle mass migration and forced multiculturalism. Vote Reform UK.

I don’t like Rishi but I don’t blame him for wanting out politics is finished he can move on.

Rishi sunak announces the general election for the 4th of July in the pouring rain it's about time the little drip grew a pair !

Rain won't stop him. This speech is going out now.

Short comeback for Big Dave Cameron aka the Greensill Grifter😂😂😂

What a drip.

Come on nigel, we need you again!!!!

Wishy-washy Wishy Sunak the winner of the most useless PM in living memory.

Why dose it always rain on me new sound track for torys

It fits in with his kids college in LA.

Roland rat sunak should of never been in the position

Rishi ended up looking like a seal about to be eaten by a shark!

If you do not want Labour as the next government do not vote for them vote for the Reform Party.

What a mess! What an introduction leading to what's going to be an awful contest, and an awful Labour incumbency for the next 5 years. How much more damage can the country take.

Labour or tories is like choosing between HIV or AIDS

I never realised that angels could spit so accurately.

It can’t smell of panic when they have a window of months.the timing really makes no difference

I suspect the PM knew his Rwanda Debacle was falling to pieces and so decided to call the election to cover up his inadequacies in completing any of his promises.

Its brilliant if its upset the Tories 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sunak looks sunk 😂

I never thought any PM of any party could surpass Liz Truss in being absolutely useless, clueless and completely weak, but the Tories found one in Liz Truss' successor. That speech was appalling and banal. He was firing the starting gun for the General Election campaign, his party is 15-20 points behind Labour, he should've come out fighting with a rousing speech to rally his troops and the country. Instead he was drowned out by both D-Ream and the rain. Wouldn't surprise me if the Grandees in the party had a quiet word with him and placed an interim leader in, because to all intents and purposes they are finished, and they know they are going to be lucky to come third to the Lib Dems come the next parliament. The way he walked back into Drowning St after that speech just said Defeated before we've even started....

Nutsak cant do anything right

Any link to shwaub stepping down, maybe they know something's coming for them.

What happened to that expensively assembled conference room we were subjected to during the scam demic?

Yiu would think someone would come out and hold an umbrella

Soggy Sunak suffers a soaking.😄

One wing of the Uniparty hands over to the other. No bother, Tories aren't interested...

Scarey thing is labour are no better.

"An economy Starmer will be delighted to inherit"? Is Kavanagh trolling, or actually serious?

Come on Nigel, I will vote Farage all day long!

I said it would be a summer election that would be called after the may election if it didn't go well for them.

Independence Day from the Tory party 😅.

Another Headline perhaps "Richie's rain of terror".

When he doesn’t call one, people criticise him, when he does call it, they also criticise him. Is it criticising for the case of criticising or constructive?

Yer like his time in office!

Someone's investment has clearly fallen through, but yeah I think he wants to get out of the spotlight before more serious charges come from the public over the contaminated blood and pass another issue to labour to deal with 😂

Things are bad- but about to get a bit worse.

Well, one positive thing: the hair of Rishi didn't move a bit during the rain.

Smells more like someone who wants out!

There's no umbrella in 10 Downing Street?

Independence Day, or deliverance day for the Conservatives? Whatever, the Tories will get their just rewards!!

Drivel in the drizzle!

Puddled Prat on a plinth

Wars raging across the world and millions of lives lost as we edge ever closer to self destruction, yet, we continue..Humans cannot co exist with nature or each other...Sad times..🙏🌍

Rained off Rishie

Don't know about the election, still trying to find some benefit from the infected blood stuff coming out myself. Here in the Midlands, there's a total lack of empathy

Nigel should be the next prime Minister

Couldn't he read the weather forecast. Classic schoolboy error

Paula Vennells off the hook again, it should be about her tonight and tomorrow.

So The WEF are giving us a new figuirehead .

Did no one think to have a brolly he was soaking wet possible ruined a good suit jacket, cannot get that right

Water 🐀 rat

Until the next one?

Hacks… Take your last bow. Your time is up.

Tories out whoop... Oh, only other option is labour. Ridiculous

This maybe the last time we ever get to vote as a democratic society. So it's in everyone's interest to get out and vote July the 4th!

As much as I don't want to vote at all, with every fibre of my being, I do not want Labour.

His favourite band is wet wet wet😂

Stop the Boats now!

So how long do you think it will take the next lot to reclaim our country, our culture and language and get our cash back.

Bye conservatives it’s been hell! 👍

The sooner they are gone the better or wetter. But it's not over till it's over so I suspect that in desperation something big and bad will happen in between the time leading up to the general election.

The Tories didn’t keep it secret - they didn’t widely know - Sunak decided it as he was pushed on the day with a coup attempt

As long as we don’t get another party that is controlled by Israel then we should be able to move forward as a nation rather than split apart.

Rishi just gave up , he knows hes done nothing snce being in power other than ban things . Pathetic the lot of them

Would t let the poor go to college increased universitys prices made all the youth feel like scum we all wanted to learn to be better we didnt want to just be slaves in warehouses and that the hand most of us were dealt with

Looks like reform trying to put a fight on makes him rush cuz if he don't more will vote for them that's how trend looks from here
