00:00Boris Johnson, to Liz, to Rishi Sunak, over the past five years, the impact, how do you see
00:06these changing faces? Was there a palpable impact? Was that something that costed them the elections?
00:12Definitely, definitely. There's been infighting. Everybody knows, nobody likes anybody within the
00:18Tory party. And the extreme right wing, of which Indian-origin Soheila Braverman, who has
00:24unfortunately won her seat, is another front runner. And so has Preeti Patel, who we know is
00:34extremely right wing and very pro-BJP in India, if you ask me, because she's been most vocal about it.
00:41They have both won their seats. And Rishi Sunak, it wasn't his fault alone. A, I personally feel
00:51he didn't have the experience to be a Prime Minister. He had barely come into UK politics,
00:57and too many things happened. Plus the way he got into office, the Boris Johnson camp
01:04did not like him because he was with Boris Johnson. And he tried to blame everything on
01:08the previous government when he was Chancellor there. So it wasn't work, people couldn't trust him.
01:14And he did not have the personality. I mean, he kept his whole campaign was so silly. He kept
01:20saying, don't give Labour a super majority, they will take away this, they will raise the taxes.
01:28We are the best people, even in his conceding speech. And just now he was in front of 10
01:35Downing Street, he's left 10 Downing Street today with his wife standing behind him, spoke to the
01:40press, he apologized. But again, he says he's given a very good deal to the country and things like
01:46that. It hasn't worked. And he should be graceful in his loss, in his defeat.
01:52Oh, yeah, I am sorry is what he said. I mean, if that is the beginning,
01:56then we can expect some more grace there.
