BREAKING: U.K. Prime Minister Expected To Resign Tomorrow Morning!


British PM Rishi Sunak is expected to announce his resignation Friday morning.

This news follows the projected clean-sweep victory by the leftist Labour party in the U.K.’s general election.

Coventry Live has more details:

Rishi Sunak is poised to step down as the leader of the Conservative Party tomorrow morning. Tim Shipman, the Sunday Times’ chief political commentator, shared his thoughts on Times Radio, suggesting that Sunak is likely to announce his resignation on Friday, following what is expected to be a sweeping Labour victory in the election.

On Twitter, Calum Macdonald from Times Radio reported: “@ShippersUnbound tells @TimesRadio’s Election night that his understanding is that Rishi Sunak will announce his resignation as Conservative leader on Friday morning.”

This development follows Sunak’s earlier indications that he might not immediately resign as Tory leader if he were to lose Thursday’s election. During a BBC interview with Chris Mason, Sunak avoided a direct response when questioned about his future as leader post-election.

Yorkshire Live also reported:

Rishi Sunak is set to resign as the Tory leader as his party faces a devastating defeat at the 2024 General Election.

Labour is forecast to have a 170-seat majority in the Commons, with the Conservatives reduced to their lowest number of MPs on record. If the results indicated by an exit poll are accurate, Rishi Sunak’s term as Prime Minister will end in electoral disaster, with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK establishing a foothold in Parliament and the Liberal Democrats forecast to make significant gains.

And on the back of the expected defeat, it is now being reported that Rishi Sunak will step down as leader of the Conservative Party. It is understood Mr Sunak is likely to hold on to his seat in Richmond and Northallerton in North Yorkshire.

Well, that was fast.

What is this?

The U.K.’s 4th Prime Minister in 2 years?
