  1. I don't know who this "Rishi Sunak" is, but Sloppy Joe just welcomed RASHI SAN NUKE to Downing Street. LOL

  2. One day Closer for a Islamic England

  3. why is it in UK law that no Roman Catholic can't be prime minister yet its ok to be Hindu is the UK anti-catholic = YES!

  4. Born and lived in britain all his life, what kind of indianess is that

  5. Born and lived in britain all his life, what kind of indianess is that

  6. We want general election now😡😡😡😡

  7. Rishi SUNAK, congratulation. Bring gunesh with you.

  8. It's pay back time 🐺

  9. The UK's new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's father was born in Kenya, while his mother was born in Tanzania.
    Grandparents from pakistan

  10. Not to be Raacist. UK lost his way… But it is NOT EASY economy or time to be 1st Minister in UK. (that why even Boris didn't want to dirty his name lol)

  11. Gandhi: Well this is totally unexpected

  12. Haha…i predicted he will serve for about 3 months.

  13. Congratulations Rishi sunak 🥰🥰

  14. British Asian, huh? After 2000+ years…. you had a great run guys. You should be proud. R.I.P.

  15. Cue all the Indians celebrating🤣🤣🤣. You deserve it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I REALLY wish him good luck. He seems very deserving. He’s probably qualified years ago but was passed over again and again for “true” Brits who turn out to be garbage leaders.

  16. Wealth question is a waste of breathe unless a specific controversy arises. Move on.

  17. Congrats to Rishi Sunak and wish him well.
    His wealth is a plus, he will not be influenced by anyone, not unlike Trump, thus free to act as he sees fit.

  18. I saw a video that said his parents are African, but it says British Asian Prime Minister. I always thought where you were born was more important than what you look like when choosing identity on a form, not for health. But, I guess he gets to be Asian, British and African at the same time.

    The USA has Caribbean American for may years now. I was guessing the East Indian descent people in the Caribbean did not want to choose Asian American when Caribbean American was not an option.

    I'm about 6 percent South Asian, mostly black, and partially white.

    My grandma's mom was Jamaican. She was half white (most likely Scottish) , and half South Asian. She had 12 children in Jamaica from a Black Jamaican.

    Also my other grandma was a little bit Indian Or something.

    I don't really know about politics in the UK. I heard UK conservatives are not as conservative as USA conservatives.

    Anyway, a little bit cool. Someone Hindu.

    I did a political test, said I was about 30 percent left and about 27 percent liberal, according to USA standards.

  19. Hes a Conservative leader.. it means what you all should know about Trumpism

  20. Born: London 1964. This is not my country any more. The colonisers have been truly colonised.
    So, I won't vote, won't pay my taxes… and you can guess the rest.

  21. People are too concentrated into weighing in the ethnicity of their PM that they forget that their economy is sinking and nobody can save it.

  22. British Indian prime minister, not Asian prime minister…… what a hypocrisy….. Say it clearly,

  23. For all the peoples of Europe, America, Australia and Canada🖕

  24. Yes attack the elephant in the room, his race, right away.

  25. JAIL 'STUPID' 2022.

    New British Prime Minister elected for the good of the country.

    Ex-president loses election and insurrection then refuses to step down for the good of his ego.

  26. Happy for Sunak but why not let the people decide? UK is not a democracy.

  27. BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO HIM🎉🎉
    INVESTING IN CRYPTO NOW SHOULD BE IN EVERY WISE INDIVIDUALS LIST, IN SOME MONTHS TIME YOU'LL BE ECSTATIC WITH THE DECISION YOU MADE TODAY .

  28. CONGARATULATIONS from ARMENIA !!!

  29. He will send back that big diamond from the Royal Crown and all of India's problems will be solved!

  30. European countries now under of India

  31. No one else wants the job.

  32. Most unstable government on planet 😂😂😂

  33. "Asian" the politics from saying Indian origin

  34. This is interesting after the British Raj made Indians slaves and subjects in their own country, history is coming full circle to see Sunaak take center stage and leadership role in the United Kingdom. Wonder how his relatives grandma's and great grandma and fathers had to endure under British Rule in India. Perhaps a little karma is in play here????????????? Coming Full Circle……….British Rule is now being led by an Indian Leader , interesting reversal of events historically. Do you think this is a coincidence???????? Or is the Universe have it's say in playing the cards??????
