During his farewell speech from Downing Street, outgoing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak acknowledged the anger of British voters, who handed his Conservative Party its worst-ever defeat. Sunak expressed his apologies to the candidates who lost their seats, taking responsibility for the loss.
Sunak announced his decision to step down as party leader in the near future. Reflecting on his 21-month premiership, he highlighted his efforts in restoring stability to the economy and strengthening Britain's relationships with its allies. Notably, Sunak mentioned a significant deal he brokered to normalize UK-EU relations post-Brexit, a policy he had fervently supported.
