Outgoing British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that he would resign today following his Conservative Party's devastating loss in Thursday's Parliamentary elections. Sunak will meet with King Charles to present his resignation later today, he said in a post-election address outside the Prime Minister's Office on Downing Street. “I have given this job my all, but you have sent a clear signal that the government of the United Kingdom must change, and yours is the only judgment that matters,” Sunak said. He added, “I have heard your anger, your disappointment and I take responsibility for this loss. To all the Conservative candidates and campaigners who worked tirelessly, but without success, I’m sorry that we could not deliver what your efforts deserved.” Sunak will also step down as the leader of the Conservative Party.
