As an American who is absolutely horrified and embarrassed about our own political climate and voter behavior, it’s very good to see a sane and dull transfer of power.
Sunak’s speech after stepping down:
Whilst he has been my political opponent, Keir Starmer, will shortly become our prime minister. In this job, his successes will be all our successes, and I wish him and his family well. Whatever our disagreements in this campaign, He is a decent, public spirited man who I respect.
He and his family deserve the very best of our understanding as they make the huge transition to their new lives behind this door. And as he grapples with this most demanding of jobs in an increasingly unstable world.
Wonder why…hmmm…
