Sunak ‘sorry’ for election disaster and declares resignation
Rishi Sunak has apologised after leading the Conservatives to their worst ever election result as a Labour landslide swept Sir Keir Starmer to No 10.
The outgoing prime minister said he would quit as Tory leader once arrangements are in place to choose his successor, potentially triggering another round of Conservative infighting as MPs scramble to replace him.
In a statement outside No 10, Mr Sunak said: “I will shortly be seeing His Majesty the King to offer my resignation as prime minister.

King Charles III opened Canada’s new parliamentary session with a rare “speech from the throne”—only the third such address by a reigning monarch in Canadian history. In a powerful and symbolic gesture, the King began with a land acknowledgement, honoring the Algonquin and Anishinaabeg peoples, and called for deeper understanding and action on truth and reconciliation. It was his 20th visit to Canada, but his first as King. The ceremony blended Commonwealth traditions with Indigenous representation unique to Canada’s identity.

In a symbolic speech in Canada, King Charles addressed the defense of democracy, open trade, and national sovereignty—without naming the figure who challenged it most: Donald Trump. While avoiding direct confrontation, Charles’ remarks subtly responded to Trump-era tariffs, border pressures, and fentanyl accusations. Referencing Canada’s commitment to freedom and rule of law, the King became a royal voice of quiet resistance. The address followed Mark Carney’s election amid rising anti-Trump sentiment, strengthening the message that Canada stands firm—even when the U.S. looms large.
