The new British Prime Minister is set?
According to the latest news from CCTV news, on October 23, local time, local media reported that former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson withdrew from the Conservative Party leadership race. According to global network news, Reuters reported that former British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak tweeted that he would succeed Truss as the next prime minister of the United Kingdom.
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak currently has the support of 146 Conservative MPs in the House of Commons, meeting the rules for candidates. Sunak's current rival, Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House of Commons, has the support of only 24 members.
However, the British prime minister is not so good, and Johnson and Truss know this.
Although Sunak became the leader of the Conservative Party, he was accused of being disloyal to Johnson because he led a large number of officials to resign and "force the palace" on Johnson during his administration. In addition to being accused of infidelity, Sunak's Indian-ethnic identity has also been attacked by opponents.
Sunak, 42, was born in Southampton, England, to Indian parents and his father-in-law is a billionaire and Indian. A number of British media reported that Sunak previously held the status of a US green and a US resident and paid taxes to the US government for a long time. As a result, some Conservatives believe that Sunak owes his allegiance to the United States, that he and his family are Indian-American, that he is not British in most eyes, and that he does not love Britain. That being the case, what reason do we have to believe that he can lead Britain?
According to CBN, according to Forbes data in 2022, Sunak's net worth reached 3.6 billion US dollars (about 26 billion yuan). This year, the Sunaks are ranked 222nd on the 1,000 richest people in the UK. According to the annual list, the two have a combined fortune of £730 million.
So, can this 26 billion Indian-born billionaire save the "swinging" Britain?
The analysis believes that no matter who is elected as the new prime minister, they will face the worst situation in British history, and the next prime minister will be an unprecedented "mess".
@ Jonathan Hall
Whether he likes it or hates Rishi, he's smart, he didn't come for money or self-esteem, I don't think he lied, he had some work ethics... But he needed a new tailor, and his pants were too short.
@REC
A dark hour for British democracy.
The next generation may have a hard time.
I hope all the best.
Thankfully, some of us make money and can choose how and where to live.
@Gary Farmer
Just the guy who openly admitted that he transferred money from poor to rich ones (Sunak) - I don't think so (it's a good idea), friend ...
@Scott Emanuel
This is not good news, working people will continue to suffer under the terrible excuse of the government.
@Duckbird
Not good news. A man who stabbed him in the back, an argumentist, an arrogant billionaire, [Sunak] has no idea about those of us who are pensioners and those who struggle to survive every day. Next step I will vote for the British Reform Party, whether it brings Labour to the board or not, and I think that's the right thing to do with the Conservatives.
@ Omz2468
Let's not pretend that Rishi Sunak is a centrist!
Some of his anti-immigrant and anti-human rights views are abhorrent!
@Bobbi Parka
General elections should be held
It's time for this circus to end.

Weibo netizen @Past A Drifting Zero: Interesting, the UK will only be livelier
Bilibili netizen @ don't play and go to learn: In fact, it is better for Truss not to leave, or Johnson to come on stage, I feel that Sunak is quite powerful
Weibo netizen @ Cai who does not cook: If you really come to power, let's see if you can survive the winter
Weibo netizen @ Stalker Muxin: There was Harris before and Sunak after
Weibo netizen @ blue boiling point 5548: Indians became vice presidents in the United States, occupied Silicon Valley, and became British prime ministers
Weibo netizen @ One Finger and One Horse's Dialogue: India Backdoor into the Five Permanent Capitals!
Weibo netizens @FFisme: Blacks can be the president of the United States, Indians can be the prime minister of the United Kingdom, and introduce foreign races into their own country, even if the foreign race is initially a slave and servant, after a few generations, it may be ruled by a foreign race, and racial replacement is realized.
Late-night backroom talks for three hours, Sunak forced Johnson out of the new British prime minister?
According to the latest report of the Daily Mail, on the morning of October 23, local time, Johnson told supporters that the two did not reach an agreement during the three-hour negotiations with Sunak.
According to Reuters local time on October 23, Johnson, who was originally determined to return to the position of prime minister, issued a statement on the evening of the same day announcing his withdrawal from the race, saying that although he had received "enough support to enter the final round of the campaign", he also realized that the country and the Conservative Party "need to be united".
Xinhua News Agency International Observation: The British Prime Minister's "marquee" style of replacement has exposed the shortcomings of the system
"My son has seen four chancellors, three home secretaries, two prime ministers... He was only 4 months old. British Prime Minister Truss, who has been in office for just over a month, recently announced his resignation as prime minister and head of the ruling Conservative Party, triggering the emotion of Alan McGuinness, editor of the British Sky News channel, on social media. The British media recently also used the headline "Prime Minister's Office's Chief Mousetrap' Larry Cat Farewell to His Fourth Prime Minister", satirizing the change of the Conservative Prime Minister as a "horse lantern".
