Rishi Sunak has already insisted he will stay on as MP for his area if he is re-elected - but he has now hinted he could continue as Conservative leader if the party loses the election

    I don’t think he’ll get a say in the matter.

    I thought he was supposed to be going to the US. I can’t see him staying if he loses bad.

    It’ll be interesting to see if he stays or goes.

        Why would he need one as a billionaire?

    Cause he’s so popular that I hear about him in my own country. Dude must be super awesome. Especially with young people. The ones living paycheck to paycheck especially love billionaires. GO RISHI GO (away).

    Honestly rishi, do whatever the fuck your want. The people of the UK are so fucking gullible and politically illiterate that in some ways I think they deserve him as a leader.

    I’m getting out of here

    Yeah right. Sure. Absolutely. That’s definitely going to happen.

    “if the party loses the election”. As if there was an “if” in that.

    But I have to admit he is brave - he finally ran the Tory ship aground at flank speed ahead, and believes his party idiots will be thankful for getting unemployed. Good luck with that.

    To be honest I think he’d make quite a good leader of the opposition with his schoolboy debating style. I don’t foresee he’ll be around for long though.

    It’s actually a good idea for him to stay on for a bit. But first, he has to hold on to his seat…

        He already has money. He needs power and influence for his father in-law business interests.

Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
