Rishi Sunak Speech: Former British prime minister and Conservative leader Rishi Sunak offered some light-hearted advice to his successor, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, as he congratulated him for his decisive victory in the recently concluded UK General Election. "Life comes at you fast. Soon, you might be fortunate enough to be tapped on the shoulder and offered a junior ministerial role,” Sunak said during his first official speech as UK Opposition Leader in Parliament, referring to his appointment as a junior Treasury minister before being promoted to Chancellor under Boris Johnson’s premiership. #rishisunak #keirstarmer #uk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NDTVProfitIndia Visit NDTV Profit for more news: https://www.ndtvprofit.com/ Don't enter the stock market unaware.
