Bit weird seeing everyone being civil to each other for once
Won't last long 😂
@@Ashtarot77 That's always to be expected
They are very two faced. Saint IKEA Starmer giving Diane Abbott praise and compliments must have been hard for her to stomach,, she was smiling at him through clenched teeth.
We will see
She was shaking throughout her speech. Must be the alcohol @@dragonfly6908
Sunak genuinely looks happier on that side of the house 😂
That’s because he loves power
Funeral houses .
It’s less stressful
@@gangstagamegangstagame4467 what? How would loving power make him happier in a less powerful position?
He does suit it. They all do.
The most human Sunak has ever appeared to me
The heats off Sunak now he and his cronies have done their bit to destroy the country it is now Labours turn to finish the job
u do understand that sunak knows his mission is completed set by his masters at the world economic forum and he will be off to live in the US in the next two years again ? Of course hes ecstatic
All is acting just like modi 😂

Cause the dude's made enough money destroying the country's economy and allowing gangs to get in via bribes, now he's just going to have a hiatus in America or somewhere nice with this laundered riches.
This will be the most pleasant, cordial and sincere we will see the commons for the next few years 😂
Well they gave Dianne Abbott praise and she's on record stating "every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us", "White people love playing 'divide and rule'", and "blonde, blue-eyed Finnish girls" were unsuitable to be NHS nurses as they'd never met a black person before (not only implying that there are no black Finnish people, but also that the opposite must then be true that any person from a non-majority white country would be unsuitable for the same reasons).
So I'd say the bar is pretty low for compliments.
Sam, this atmosphere of cordiality may be short-lived. But, I'd be delighted to see even a few minutes of it, in our US House of Representatives. 😀
the uniparty got reelected.. the only time they are being insincere is when they pretend to be in opposition to one another
Not quite, the every first four contributes in the debate for a Humble Address after the state openings will also be cheerful and cordial, the first one will happen next Wednesday.
Still, the civility is important and sets a tone for political debate that rarely prevails on-line. For now, the election is over. Wherever we stand on the political spectrum, we can wish him well, because his success will be our success, We can be hopeful that he will lead with integrity and wisdom. We might be sceptical of his chances, but he is in the driving seat, so we should wait to see how he handles it.
Yes this is called civility. Something that is missing in the US and now Canada
in france 😃
Nigel F Farage might have something to say
Civility is overrated if politicians are jerks but get stuff done that helps people who cares if they act like toddlers. I’d prefer them acting like toddlers and getting stuff done than acting “civil” with one another but doing nothing for the betterment of regular people as is currently happening in the US.
@@Jacob-wn8qx world vs words
It's also better in Canada. I like the house of Commons 😊
Bizarre seeing him on that side
Great though seeing him that side 👌
It should be Ed Davey sitting in Rishi Sunak‘s place. It would be if more people had bothered to vote.
There is no Permanent Enemies and Friends in Politics.
Sunak was better i feel

Now this is how a civilised democracy behaves. USA, please take note.
Wait till Farage shows up
Mind Begs the Question:
▪︎Dehumanizing a group of people Rats - Holocaustic
▪︎Dehumanizing a group of people Human Animals - Democratic?
Oh, please. It won't be that way for long
Is 33% of votes getting 66% seats a democracy
Of course, it's civilized, nobody disagrees with each other , It's just theater
Rishi nailed it.
yes, he is great at repeating what as already been said.

That was class from Rishi Sunak
yeah a class act at being the parrot of the room.
Rishi Sunak is exceptionally well-educated, a fact that is beautifully reflected in both his speech and choice of words.
Yes! An amazing speech I think!
But he has a speechwriter
@@user-sb3sn8di1sExactly, he has a team of specialists who write speeches for him. His normal way of communicating is exposed when he is heckled by a common citizen...he struggles to argue back.
Rishi Sunak is exceptionally EXPENSIVELY educated, thats why he was the leader of the tory party
@@user-sb3sn8di1s all political person has a speechwriter. All read from paper, no mind of their own.
What good sportsmanship and class in Mr Sunak' s speech. Such a far cry from our immature, acrimonious opposition on this side of the Atlantic. Fair play and Good Manners and Rules of Conduct win the day with Mothers daily!
At 2:06 Kier says so many words beginning with “P” its funny 😆
I thought he was going to ask someone to try and repeat what he said 😂
That's a good spot. A lot of p's
Almost sounded like that Peter Piper tongue twister.
lol
Is it me or does Rishi seems happier?
He’s just left one of the most stressful jobs in the world

*LOVE FROM INDIA RISHI SIR. A TOTAL GENTLEMAN*
Indian opposition should be like this
Sunak has actually dealt with this defeat a lot better than some. Even congratulated Diane Abbott, he didn't have to do that!!
It was a left-handed jab at her treatment by her dear leader, I believe.
She's brown like him
I'm pretty sure he wanted to lose. It really looked like he'd had enough during the campaign and just wanted an exit. Not really a surprise given the talent puddle he had to work with.
@@TalesOfWar If that were true, then he could have left at any time to work for the family business. I suspect that said business would benefit from having access to live political connections though.
no he didn't. He didn't resign
Rishi is so dignified even in defeat! He won a bigger majority than Keir in his constituency of Richmond and Northallerton.
How does the boot taste?

@@AM2K2 not cope to say the conservative party Rishi presided over a week ago was one of the WORST governments weve had in several decades
he's an adult. he knows how to control his emotions; probably feels gutted on the inside
Ishi is weak and only supported by his rich friends he wouldn't stand a chance in the Midlands.
Imagine if American politicians were even half as respectful
I'd say American politics is more honest. It's obvious they hate each other. These are just words, his actions show he probably doesn't believe half of what he's saying. I want to take him at his word, but he lost that benefit of the doubt when he became PM and said he was going to restore integrity, professionalism and accountability to politics then put Suella Braverman back in post.
@@TalesOfWar I think UK politcians rarely hate each other. It can get heated, but not one of them were encouraging their voters to strom the Parliament and stage a coup... Manners maketh man, and tUS politics (especially a certain side) lost all pretence of playing by the rules. One nominee is a literal felon. Honest or not, US politics has failed.
I’d say they’re more respectful.
I feel sunak was better after listening him
This is the way it should be conducted
Why do I feel sorry for Rishi
Empathy. Something that people more on the left are sadly afflicted with. It's almost entirely lacking among those on the right, which is how they can be so horrible without a care in the world.
Rishi class act 🔥
Sunak is an intellectual level above Starmer.
Bwahahaha
They all just their parties puppets. Not actual leaders.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Shame he wasnt able to use his bright intelect during his time in office...
@billysastard8779 back then he was unelected pm under party's mercy along with anti incumbentcy hatred from public along with 2 disastrous previous pm
Nice to see Sunak more comfortable in a role he is more suited to.
What a gentleman Rishi is..I admire his fairness
I think Rishi Sunak should remain as Tory leader even after their loss as there is no such good Tory leader to take his place imao
shows how low the bar is unfortunately!
I think Sunak destroyed the Conservatives purposely to ensure Labour got in power as they will help more of his ilk than he could.
If I were Labour I’d want to keep him for all time.
Suella
Jeremy Hunt.
Sunak looks genuinely non-plussed by the whole thing
Sunak's speech stands in clear contrast to that snide nonsense from Farage.
Two cheeks of the same backside.
Seriously, it was so unnecessary. Sometimes one needs to read the room before making brusque, off-hand comments. Unfortunately that is precisely his constituents have voted for him
@@Noel-ji8nmI agree, Starmer and Sunak are just two cheeks of the same backside.
@@rafia_khanThat's what I admire about Farage. He doesn't hold back, he is actually someone who has heart compared to the rest of these clowns sitting.
@@UPGHD aka, he’s ignorant to the repercussions of his words/actions.
The kind of ‘politician’ who cares about his own interests above all else.

Lovely speech by rishi..seems happier
The first decent speech, Rishi has ever given. Shame he was hampered by toxic members of his party
Let's not forget he was also incredibly incompetent as a leader, and extremely weak.
Civility and class oozing

A ringing endorsement.

Massive brain derived eruption farts
If US politicians behaved like this, we might actually get things done.
Bipartisanship never gets anything good done, but the two party leaders butter each other up at the beginning of Congress.
Being gracious in defeat is something. Farage showed why every vote for reform was as good as a spoiled ballot paper.
Don't get used to Starmer being on that side. Nigel will be stood there soon enough
@@pevebe The spiteful delusion of reform voters is too often a sad, pathetic display.

@@jamesm875 Yet look who's in power and who isn't. I can see at least 2 of the 5 seats Reform won being up for a by-election within the next year or two because of some incredibly racist or otherwise offensive thing they said.
Good speech 🙏🏻🇬🇧
At least it’s not Liz truss “I’m not a quitter”
Starmer is lucky its not Jeremy Corbyn as father of the house, literally by just a few months, I wonder would give him the same praise and respect!! ??
Well they gave Dianne Abbott praise and she's on record stating "every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us", "White people love playing 'divide and rule'", and "blonde, blue-eyed Finnish girls" were unsuitable to be NHS nurses as they'd never met a black person before (not only implying that there are no black Finnish people, but also that the opposite would also be true then for any person from a non-majority white country would be unsuitable for the same reasons).
So I'd say the bar is pretty low for compliments.
Jeremy Corbyn and Edward Leigh have both been members since 9th June 1983. The reason that Edward Leigh gets the title is that he swore the oath (either of Allegience or or Affirmation) first.
With Corbyn as leader, Labour would still be on the other side of the isle
@@chrislaing7153 Oh really? Damn, I wish so much they were the other way round. That would have been amazing to see.
@@davidocall Well, she's right that there are no black Finnish people anyway.
I can't wait for the banter to start. Incredibly naive for some who think labour will be better. It's like the rose tinted glasses
And it's ignorant to think they won't or can't be. Because the last Labour government was objective better than what followed, or what preceded it. I have no doubt this one will be objectively better again. How that shapes up is yet to be seen, but the first few days of the plans they've laid out are already orders of magnitude objectively better for the country than what we got from the Tories over the last 5 years at least, arguably their whole tenure given the first thing they did when getting in to power was cut everything.
Sir Hoyle is a BIASED speaker
2:41 who’s the girl to the left? Absolute smoke show

Rishi did the nation good by swiftly handover the baton to Keir through early election. Impressed with Labour so far
lol impressed with what?
Openly admitting Middle Eastern immigrants come before the British people is not impressive...
Easily pleased,then?
More boats have come
He had no choice. His furniture was moved out of No 10 less than 12 hours after the polls closed...!!!
If Sunak had acted like this in the last six months, instead of fanning culture wars, the country would have a lot more respect for him.
That was pure class from Rishi!
I've never voted for Rishi, but I think he deserves some respect for trying to pull together a broken party!
Sunak is a stateman and a good leader but let see Stamer as a ledt-leader if all his plans and promises will come to reality and make UK a great nation and not a country.for the muslims .Good luck
Pretty cool their switch. In one day government becomes opposition
I think sunak would been Good PM . He is rich and privileged is not his falt and shouldn't affect to perform his job. I am not racist but believe if he was white then would have been more popular at least in conservative voters.
He had over a year to prove he could be a good PM, whilst he was PM. He didn't manage to do so.
Racism could play a small part in his defeat, but by and large it was a defeat of the back of deep dissatisfaction with his party, not just himself.
I have waited a long time to hear the words "Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer"
Nice to see mutual respect for once. Would be nice if we could keep the civil tone in the debate.
Well they gave Dianne Abbott praise and she's on record stating "every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us", "White people love playing 'divide and rule'", and "blonde, blue-eyed Finnish girls" were unsuitable to be NHS nurses as they'd never met a black person before (not only implying that there are no black Finnish people, but also that the opposite must then be true that any person from a non-majority white country would be unsuitable for the same reasons).

2:08 He probably practised the part where he's proud of the part that his party has played
They need a bigger room.
I'd recommend a big top. Circus full of clowns
Lol if they do people are gonna cry about it being a waste of funds.
Kept small on purpose - for the adversarial nature of the debates. The actual distance between the PM and the leader of the opposition is 2 sword lengths...that is how old the building is.
@@AM2K2There were fewer MPs then, to be fair, and fewer TV cameras as well 😂
Give them a break, it's a parliament, not a playground.😌👐
If we could stop referring to each other’s skin tone it would help us all to focus on politics and performance.
The praise aimed at Dianne Abbot just shows how they don't understand how the majority of the country thinks.
Completely out of touch
They don't care either.

just from listening to that opening statement we are all fucked.
It always starts with kisses and hugs, give it a week and they will be arguing!
Couple Month's if not week's, Sunak will Retire.
Why would he when he is already an MP
I see Ange has already got the nodding dog motion down to a fine art
Maybe if Sunak demonstrated a little more grace in government and while electioneering, I'd have a little more empathy for him. This idea that bellicose is somehow regarded as bold, strong, and authoritative is wrong and self-destructive. Intelligent, compassionate, and responsible are far more important.

I feel like this type of cordial speeches should be done every now and then to remind the MPs that they need to work together for a brighter future and not against each other. Democracy is only strong when we are united and effective!
TRUE
WEF congratulates WEF on the WEF victory.
It was actually such a beautiful speech from both sides I was almost taken aback. I did not vote for Labour or the Tories, but I just hope that this new parliament can at least bring forth true service to our country in the next four years.
Judge these men and women of power by their actions not their words!
They both serve the same Master, nothing has changed or will change.
well, last week we had a Rwanda deterrent, this week we don't. that already seems like quite the enormous change already, and not for the better. I don't know what the hell Farage was thinking, by his party running he's split the popular vote on the right allowing Labour to obtain this massive majority in parliament!
Rishi Sunak will come back ❤
Starmer is really good at reaching out across the house to acknowledge people's humanity. It's disarming, and it creates a tone of civility and compassion that I hope will frame the heated political exchanges to come. He doesn't appear to be cowed by his new position, if anything he seems more relaxed than when he was leader the opposition. I thought this was a good début. He's not the leader that everyone wanted, but he might yet prove to be the leader we need.
