- Rishi Sunak has announced the next general election will be held on July 4.
The Prime Minister made the announcement after briefing the Cabinet on his plans in 10 Downing Street this afternoon.
Mr Sunak’s decision to hold a snap contest this summer represents a major political gamble, with the Tories currently lagging behind the Labour Party in the opinion polls by around 20 points.

Bye bye Rishi !
Let’s hope so..
He takes credit for the furlough system that he used during the pandemic, but doesn't take responsibility for the billions wasted on useless PPE, and the lining of his friends' pockets.
He made a,500 miiliion investment in an relatively unknown company that would make massive profits in the event that there would be a.... 'pandemic'....wow!!!. so lucky!!!
Is anybody else here just for the comments? He's looking even damper than usual.
Yes I was wondering how people would react to the wash out being washed out.
Sunak should have changed the locks when he moved in to No.10. Johnson's still got a key, that was him, the lying fatso, pissing down from the bedroom window, on little Prime Miniscule Shortpants, what a bunch of prats we got. Eh?
Things can only get wetter!
😂😂😂
His wife isn't proud to be British, because she isn't one.
she can divorce him anytime
Hahahaha
Rishi found out that "Things can only only get wetter" for him!
Lets vote Conservative and get screwed, lets vote Labour and get screwed, lets vote another party, they wont win and we get screwed, I love democracy. Does he still live in the UK he doesn't seem to know what's really going on, I guess he's busy counting his £120 million bonus that he worked so hard for.
There is now no left and no right. All that remains is grey sludge that thinks the same, looks the same and will carry on doing the same thing. Look what happened to Truss and Corbyn who strayed to far from the political ideal of the blob. Zero seats!
If he looked out of the window to where we peasants live , he would have noticed the RAIN and held the conference indoors.What a plonker.
I reckon he did it on purpose, haha
Bye Now Sunak 😊
The rain seems an appropriate metaphor.
He needs to go.
If it was up to him, every disabled person would be homeless and get no money.
Their plan from the beginning was to make the rich richer and the poor only poorer and that he has succeeded.
If true it would be better than making everyone poorer!
Utterly rubbish comment and such a lowbrow idea of what UK politics is really like. The only right-wing leader the tories have had in the last fourteen years was ejected by the blob in under two months. Any leader that strays too far left or right is doomed. All that remains is the grey goo in the centre that makes nobody happy.
The Tory party as a whole is also leaving a very fractured country to boot. 💔💔💔
Congratulations UK for your independence day, soon the oppressors will be gone, maybe they won't even be nr 2 in parliament. There is hope, best wishes 🥳
Mate the whole establishment is corrupt, nothing has changed, we just get a different show
@@wonkygustav4457 alright buddy
And it 'rained on his parade'. No wonder we have had such 'wet' characters in Parliament for the last 14 years!
the guy playing things can only get better makes me proud to be British, what a hero
He mentioned that Britain has been thru the hardest years since the 2nd world war and I thought about austerity and Brexit and then remembered the pandemic…
The pandemic when his lot were out partying and funnelling money to their chums
Bye Now Tories 😊
And Who is Yours ??
Get your speaking tours booked and finish off your memoirs.
I bet Old Charlie-boy couldn't give his permission to dissolve Parliament fast enough.
What a drip
He isn't the society's PM : NOBODY VOTED FOR HIM AS PM
Who played Tony Blair’s Successful campaign theme tune in the background… Things can only get better… 😂😂😂… That will only be correct if the current party in power receives a total & complete drubbing from the opposition..
Oh well out of the frying pan and into the fire 🔥
Inflation is back to normal. Is it 😂😂
Poor Rishi. What a catastrophic way to open the campaign. I’m on the left and am sympathetic to the Labour Party… although I’m not British and have no real stake in this election. But even I have to say I feel just a tinge of sympathy for the prime minister after this shambolic speech. Visually, this speech seems an appropriate representation of the state of the Tories’ electoral prospects and the overall tone of their campaign.
Hmm the best country in the world for investment that’s why France is now punching ahead in the whole of eurozone in terms of foreign FDI projects.
In the UK, right now the conservative is far behind the labour party. Can somebody please advise, why did he call an election? Its not to his advantage......
Because they've had a slight improvement in the economy recently, but it's expected to take a down turn by Autumn. They called it now, because they know the country will be in an even worse state by Autumn.
@@RoseBenedictCreativeIt'll definitely be that way when Labour are elected.
Mainly because the current party is run by deluded, incompetent idiots and they think they have a chance.
@@lavienestpasunlongfleuvetr2559 that's impossible.
There is no realistic scenario for the Conservatives to overtake Labour before the election would happen automatically. Over time, their prospects have only gotten worse, and they honestly should have called an election last year if they wanted to limit the damage.
Forgot umbrella.
Imagine a leader who knows his side is not what the majority want and decides to hold an election early anyway. Democracy is strong in the UK. Love to see it.
He has to call.it within a few months anyway. They've called it now to try and catch Labour by surprise
That only depicts confidence in my books - nobody with any intelligence would chose bad mannered Labour
Best PM we have had in over 20yrs, a bit like being the most handsome guy in the burns unit, but I think he is the best of a terrible bunch.
stopping boats he hasent even got any of em on the plane yet bit like cons brexit plan and look where that got us
Comedy gold!
this guy is dilusional bye bye rishi c u later hopefully not
Britain is dead. Pray for its soul.
Rishi's rump parliament in the rotten borough of Westminster - has just gone!
Yes, we’re conservative.
The pm of the country n he cudnt even get one of his peasants to hold an umbrella over him. Shame
The two big parties are totally out of touch - in the background, Labour fossils are playing the theme chosen nearly 40 years ago, for one of the most hated men in the world - Blair.
Bye Now Rishi 😊
It's not 1997, and even back then things did not get better under Blair. Hopefully the voters see this and both Conservative and Labour lose seats and new parties get a foot in Parliament.
Two cheeks of the same arse and anybody who can't see that is blind. The two party duopoly has ruined everything my ancestors created. Shame on them both. Zero seats!
Hi everyone in the comments!
Time of independence from india(n)
And voila...
Britain will become
GREAT BRITAIN once again
😂😂😂
Bring On The Summer And Labour Government ❤🎉😊
IT’S RAINING 😅
Things can only get better!
lets see how your comment ages, youre like that dumb ignorant sheep in line at the slaughterhouse...
Splash splash
Zero seats!
Who BLOODY CARES, All as bad as one another.
They're really not. None of them may be great, but the Tories are much, much worse than the rest.
Rishi the Rat
I wish we had Lib Dems in 2024 but it just ain't happening.
Your not British
bye 👋 Sunak
Brits complaining as always about everything and everyone they can... Rishi is a good man, whom they are kicking out! Good for him, they would never value him no matter what he does!
Someone like London Mayor will serve them good, then they won't dare to complain out of fear..
The police should have stopped that loud music being played while he was speaking. I have just as much right to hear what the PM has got to say as they have to protest. Loud music is not a valid form of protest if it drowns out someone trying to speak. I was not impressed.
It did not drown him out. The music is at a much lower level and we can clearly hear what Sunak is saying
Bye rishi worst pm ever REFORM 🇬🇧for me 👊
Good riddance! REFORM U.K.🇬🇧
I can't believe he has the balls to say most of this. Well, I'll be voting Reform this time.
Reform 🇬🇧

I will choose rishi sunak because he's one the best prime minister and i vote for Tories goodbye Keir stramer vote for Tories not labour
OMG…in come the bloody socialists!
Here we come better hide yer fanny
How will we know the difference?
@@rallan1953why didn’t he go and give someone else in the party a chance?
1922 committee put him in…and card carriers didn’t get a vote…so I didn’t renew.
@robinmyman lmao deluded. Tories have tried their best, second-best, third-best candidate already. Face it, there's not a brain in the bunch.
Don’t worry … He still has his job to go back to at The Kwik-E-Mart… Just rely the slogan Wishy Washy…” Thankyou come again.., “ 😂😂😂
Reform 2024!
