Rishi Sunak's Most Awkward Gaffes as Prime Minister

- Rishi Sunak’s time as UK prime minister is at an end with his Conservative Party roundly beaten in the 2024 General Election.
Here, we look back on some memorable moments that defined his time in office.
Sunak took over the job of prime minister after the chaotically brief reign of Liz Truss, becoming the country’s first British Asian PM.
With opinion polls against him, many believed his tenure was a car crash waiting to happen, and it didn’t help that he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt in one of his social media videos.
He tried to solve the problem of ‘small boats’ with a bigger boat - the Bibby Stockholm, before a plan to deport illegal migrants to Rwanda was hatched.
Mr Sunak repeatedly tried to brush off questions about his massive personal wealth.
Some claimed he was out of touch with the struggles of ordinary people, particularly as the cost of living crisis began to bite.
He did keep his promise to halve inflation and continued to support Ukraine’s war against Russia, but also watered down the country’s net zero commitments and faced some of the biggest public sector strikes in living memory.
Few believed he could turn things around with the announcement of a general election on a wet day in May.
But the scale of the defeat, fairly or not, will define Rishi Sunak’s legacy.

not so much Labour has won
but
Back Door Government has LOST
wen moon wen lambo
Bye bye
He's not a bad bloke, just miscast. And Tory. And inept. And just a bit sad really.
He was evil
U are still a mp
U inherited a weak govt
U beat two PM and prove that I are a capable PM no courrption
Please stay u will win back and comeback strong like lord ram
You know he doesn’t care . He made enough money for his family and children so they will no have to care .
Comeback to fail again? He’s the same man so what would he comeback and do differently? He lost his parties reign of power awfully after a perfect chance to succeed. Biggest problem is his fake charisma is easy to see and people don’t like that.
