Ex-Chancellor is the first person of colour to lead the country and the first Hindu
RISHI SUNAK has been announced as the UK’s next Prime Minister and will be the first person of colour to take on the top job.
The sudden decision paved the way for Sunak’s second go at No. 10 after failing to secure enough votes as party leader just months earlier. @Conservatives would select our first Brit Indian PM & proud today that comes to be. I wish Rishi the v best, he has my wholehearted support.” She tweeted: “Caller on LBC just said Rishi Sunak is NOT British, Tory voters don’t see him as British, he doesn’t love Britain like Boris Johnson & that being Brown he doesn’t reflect Britain. Welcome to racist Tory Britain Rishi Sunak was born in the UK Boris Johnson was born in New York.”“Just last month the Conservative Party rejected Rishi Sunak in a leadership contest. How can they now tell us all that he is the right person to lead our country?” she wrote on Twitter.
Labour MP Angela Rayner, the Shadow First Secretary of State, also slammed Sunak’s entry into No 10 “without him saying a word” about his plans as PM.“The public deserve their say on Britain’s future through a General Election. It’s time for a fresh start with Labour.” He Tweeted: “I congratulate Rishi Sunak & welcome colour not being a showstopper to becoming Prime Minister. It’s wonderful that any privately educated billionaire can aspire to such a position. My dream is a child of state education & impoverished working class heritage will one day emulate him.”
