No Truss, No Johnson, No May, No Cameron. - What a relief!

We just need Sunak out now!

No pressure on Kier...

I wish parliament conducted proceedings in this manner at least most of time

That first speech sounds like a teacher talking to the class right after winter break

It was so sincere and nice. He was eating quite a few of his words though.

Sunak is so much more likeable as leader of the opposition lol

@Ethan-dn1wc Ай бұрын

Probably because he doesn't have to deal with the baggage that was left by his four previous predecessors. As PM, he had to advocate his agenda while also saying he was different than his predecessors while also defending the role he played in Boris Johnson's government.

He's the interim LoP...will be contested by Hard Roasters like Braverman or Tulsi Patel and other 4 challengers to get the Top Tory position. Sunak himself realises, he is not cut out for this... He was comfortable in his own skin as a cabinet member, or shadow cabinet but not the leadership roles.

Power corrupts, let’s hope Keir’s morality has a little more backbone

Sunak seemed more gracious than Starmer. He was a gentleman in his speech. Though I don't like Sunak or his party, and I'm a foreigner, some of Starmer's remarks came across as twisting the knife and dancing on the Tories' defeat. Still, from what I've seen, the tone in the Commons has been much more civil.

First time stuff is actually getting done

I loke this Rishi Sunak. Seems like his party was too overbearing for him.

another failed PM boohoo

@paulec2634 Ай бұрын

He's perfect as a leader of the opposition.

The SNP's position on immigration is admirable. I wish US Democrats would express it like the SNP does.

Wow, when he's not PM, Sunak sounds like a genuinely lovely guy.

@beenaplumber8379 Ай бұрын

He is humble and gentlemanly in his new position. It seems to suit him better than being PM.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2273">37:53</a> "I now call the leader of the opposition ijjy zuna..." - the Speaker must really like him. ;) Then compare to how he introduces Keir Starmer at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3413">56:53</a> And then at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="126">2:06</a>:11 he calls John McDonnell John McDonald!

@QemeH Ай бұрын

The speaker was always a partisan role, neutral only on paper. It's just that the last one happened to have a falling out with his own party after he became speaker, making him a remarkably impartial referee. Much more so, at least, than most of the speakers before and after him.

@jonaen24 Ай бұрын

It is wrong of Starmer to treat the illegality of the referendum as respectable, acceptable and binding.

@gemiow Ай бұрын

people being considerate and empathetic in parliament :) we have been waiting a long time for this

@locorum9103 Ай бұрын

I don't love John McDonnell, but he clearly actually cares about workers and poverty. His speech at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="126">2:06</a>:10 stands out here as eminently reasonable and yet meaningfully progressive. The two child benefit cap must be scrapped!

"and that His Majesty was pleased to make the most racist speech from the throne to both Houses of Parliament" - well, that's what it sounds like. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="736">12:16</a>
