"To the country, I would like to say, first and foremost, I am sorry I have heard your anger, your disappointment, and I take responsibility for this loss," said outgoing British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during his final remarks as the country's leader about his loss to Labour Party leader Keir Starmer in the 2024 U.K. general election. Mr. Sunak addressed his government's accomplishments during his time in office and said he plans to step down as the Conservative Party leader once the process for selecting his successor begins. He also spoke about his opponent, Keir Starmer, saying, "in this job, his successes will be all our successes, and I wish him and his family well. Whatever our disagreements in this campaign, he is a decent, public-spirited man who I respect."
