Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s recent speech at the UK Parliament has gone viral. It shows the members laughing heartily at his self-deprecating humour.

Praising the former PM, she shared how his humour remains intact despite his recent defeat.
“This is a rare to see class, dignity and even sense of humour in defeat. Very inspired,” Radhika Gupta wrote as she shared a video capturing a part of Sunak’s speech.

“If I may offer some words of advice to members opposite. On the government benches, life comes at you fast. Soon you might be fortunate enough to be tapped on the shoulder and offered a junior ministerial role. Then you’ll find yourself attending Cabinet. Then in the Cabinet. And then when the prime minister’s position becomes untenable, you might end up being called to the highest office,” Rishi Sunak says.
He continues, “And before you know it, you have a bright future behind you. And you are left wondering whether you can credibly be an elder statesman at the age of 44.”
